Then who cares about status contributed?
Most guilds set rank based upon status points contributed. That is the easy button for guild leaders. Utilizing Guild Points can be a better way to assess guild contribution, but it requires much more effort on behalf of the guild leaders.
Still, even there, writs and HQs are actually easier to do and get more status.. unless you're playing with your wallet.
That is why some guilds award points per writ, HQ, etc. That way a guild member who spends X amount of time and effort to help the guild will be rewarded with guild rank that shows the members level of effort rather than penalizing them for being low adventure or crafting level by using status points earned.
That's a Guild policy/problem, not a mechanics problem.
An alternative way to track status contributed for those Guilds that use that as a rank incentive, especially in a level 90 Guild when all status loot/writ/HQ status earned is wasted since there is no escrow account to hold extra status at the cap would be to base status contributed off status actually deposited into Guild Escrow account for the Guild Hall. That way, even the 100 status from coral amulets can be utilized and the lowbie is actually contributing.
