Growing pains

Hey there, Interwebz
I am fairly new to valor (world 98 for a little over 3 weeks), but somewhat experienced with the genre. I started my city, built steadily, joined a small local guild, and continued expanding. As I type this, I am attacking a barb city near me to take and my point value is about 18k. This is just to give you an idea of my progress and situation.
My problem is this: most of the large guilds have point value requirements in my world (at least the ones near me in my world do), but my current guildmates and I keep coming under attack from large players with several tens of thousands of points more than we have before we meet the point requirements for membership in guilds that could be protective. So to join a large guild, we have to be a certain size, but when you are nearing that size you are a very tempting target for nearby players in the very guilds you are trying to join. They see a 13k city sitting there with little or no guild to retaliate...I can't say I blame them, it just makes it tough to survive beyond about 20k points. Any advice on this?
Thanks,

Also, yay first post on these forums ^.^
