Fix broken TW matchmaking
Why hasn’t TW matchmaking been fixed like GAC? Between blatant sandbagging and the horrible MM algorithm, you are either given a guaranteed win or a guaranteed loss. It has caused way less interaction...

Does any guild actually, deliberately, sandbag others? It would just be dumb given the difference between rewards for 1st and 2nd, forcibly removing rewards for a portion of the guild you’d inevitably end up worse off even if you won all of those matches as opposed to losing all with a full guild.
It sounds more like your guild has simply hit its ceiling, and if you feel like you’re hitting guaranteed losses maybe you need to rethink your strategy.
In short, yes, they absolutely do. I have been told by several that it is a strategy they use. However, focusing on just that component completely missed my point. This isn’t a “get better, noob” scenario. But, thank you for your well thought out response in that regard.
It doesn’t matter if someone sandbags on purpose or not. If we get matched up with a guild solely based on total participating GP yet they severely outmatch us in every single aspect, then the matchmaking system is bad, not our strategy. It was the same issue before in GAC when you had to focus on GP management since that could match you up against people who severely outmatched you. My point is, that is still something that happens in TW, and with such a focus on necessary bloated GP for TB it is something that needs to be addressed in TW just like it was addressed in GAC.
