During first Guild War, I was lvl 80+ and it took two attempts to take out their Guardian which only yielded like 50 points so my total point contribution during that hour was reduced, but at least my Guild mates (all lower levels) could be more competitive when battling. You only got 50, but directly contributed to everyone else gaining thousands more, because of the points reduction of the guardian being alive.

Just like he says, higher level guardians are harder to kill. So opposing guilds are forced to decide whether to spend resources on your guardian, or suffer the points penalty of leaving it alive. They are very much worth it, and worth levelling up. Battles during a war are more about quality than quantity.
