Starting week early with guild requests for Arsenal of War?

So in Tactifuchs’ recent video [Develop Your Roster](https://youtu.be/uBJ-TbWZJwM?is=cHHG8UyUmQGpoTzp) he suggests starting to request gear from your guild a week early, but leave them unfulfilled as they stay in the chat for up to a week if no one fulfills them. But I’m skeptical. If you make a second request, doesn’t that remove previous requests? And I’m currently only seeing about 4 days of messages in my guild’s chat.

Does anyone else think the Fox is a little off here?
