Q: Will you add a confirmation button for the gac registration or the chance to cancel and register again like it is with the TW registration?
A: CG_Miller - We've looked into this in the past, and the task is bigger than most players realize. Once you register for the GAC we start the process of building the matchups immediately, and you can imagine the havoc one would wreck if players could drop in and out and in and out of the GAC while the game is trying to do some matchup heavy lifting.


It's really not as easy of a fix as you think. And yes I would like CG to focus on new content rather than a fix that is easily avoidable for someone who pays a little attention.

This brings me back to my previously stated point: I know in the most recent Q&A, CG said that matchmaking starts right after you click "join." But that doesn't make sense because some people don't join until the last few minutes or seconds of the join period. So if the matchmaking algorithms can wait on them to join, surely, they can wait for me to leave and then rejoin.

It's the same story for TW matchmaking. What if a guild is at 221K GP until the last 5 seconds of the join period, and then another member joins with 5K GP? That puts that guild over the 225K "hump" and into the next TW tier. So whichever guild they were matched up with until those final few seconds of the join period can't be matched up with them anymore unless they also had members join in the last few seconds that propelled their collective GP to the next tier.

I think if you join in the last few seconds you get matched in the last few seconds. Meanwhile everyone else who already joined has been matched. As for TW there’s 50 or less to to a guild, making the pool of guilds way smaller, and with a larger range (iirc). Also I would think that even if a guild had everyone leave right before and put on a giant pile of gear (unlikely to say the least), how much could their collective gp even increase? Just sayin
