Matching during Territory War

Territory wars used to be extremely fun for our guild but the last 3 or 4 wars we've had a terrible match up, with GP differences of 15M, 10M and 16M. Always us in the lower end. We have 27 wars won, but now even though we fought like lions, we barely lost. That much difference in GP is insurmountable. We opted to just beef up our guild to 120M so we'll win 2 zetas even though we lose. Surely enough we went Into this last TW and surprise, our adversary is 135M with us barely at 120M. As you @CG_Kozispoon and @EA_Jesse (your tags came up hehe), have quoted, you don't like things that break the spirit of the game. Well, us having to opt to lose without effort in a higher bracket, rather than duking it out at our regular level, cannot possible be what you intended for TW. Please fix the match-up process. Our guild is losing interest fast.

I agree, it's getting ridiculous. These higher guilds are using a strategy in which they sit out their lowers giving them a matchup with a much lower guild. If you allow all of your members to participate high & low, it makes it very difficult to win. EA you need to look into this as its creating huge mismatches and gives an even greater advantage to the higher gp guilds. You need to find a better way to match guilds.

I believe the issue you are experiencing is that you are coming in near the bottom of the 50M-60M prize tier, while your opponent is coming in right at the top of the tier.

Kozi confirmed that rewards tiers don't factor in matchmaking.

You understood wrong... what they mean is that its not the guild GP that is used for match making its the GP of the people who entered. So a guild of 120 M GP can come up against a guild of 80M GP because only 80M GP of that guild joined the war. Lets say you have a 120GP guild but only 40 of the 50 players joined so the GP pool of this war is only (lets say) 78M GP. So they end up facing a guild of that power (remember tho a guild who has 80M GP of joining players)

The problem is that those who do this even tho they have the same GP they have better teams anyway because they have a better average per player GP.

Anyway this is a disturbing tread CG, please look into it and try and fix this because in time people will greatly loose interest if they see they can never win because big guild play with their numbers to assure a win.

We finally had a good match up, after 4 gross miss matches, surprise was that we were always on the short end of the stick, fortunately we were 123M other guild was 126M, and we creamed them hehe, finally, I hope this means they somehow resolved it and it wasn't just blind luck.

I agree completely. As a guild member who has lower GP than over half the others in my guild, I appreciate that my guild leaders allow everyone to participate in TW. However, we get matched with guilds who are making their lower members sit out, and thus they have stronger teams than us at the same overall GP. It's like the system rewards those guilds who don't allow their lower players to participate and that diminishes everyone's ability to have fun and reap rewards.

Please take a good look into this CG, and thanks for listening!

At least it is self defeating in the long run... since they let their lower player sit out, then in some times those player wont progress as fast as the others and it will slow them down.. but not enough to be preventing them to do so.
