Dear devs,Could you please have a look on algorythms for matchmaking and rework it l1ittle?We are guild with 180m gp and we regularly face guilds with 20m more gp because they leave 2 members not registered for TW. These guilds are very tw and arena focused. Their non registered players keep playing arenas (usually top5 average rank) but somehow they are on vacation or just forget to register when TW opens...we already faced too many such guilds and it's not funny to play such one sided wars...Please consider gp of whole guild in MM for guilds with more than 180m gp. They are not casual players anyway so if somebody doesnt register then it is intentional.

Wow. So you are facing guilds with two 10 million GP players that sit out TW on purpose. I mean, that's how you get 20 million more GP from two sit-outs.I get that what you are saying is a bit of an exaggeration in terms of numbers of sit-outs and GP but TW focused guilds don't necessarily need high GP to win.

then again maybe they actually have members who have real life to deal with / kids / work or maybe they just dont like TW so dont registerNot every guild states that 50/50 MUST register for TW especially when most people just plain dont like itits NOT an exploit its people dont like TW so dont lockin

it amazing me that people jump right to the sand bagging on purpose.believe it or not people have lives. we have told our guild members if they can't be around don't join tw.BTW a TW obsessed guild with less GP can beat TW DGAF guilds with more GP. we know match making is broke, Dev's know matchmaking is broke. Either become a TW obsessed guild or TW DGAF guild then the match making won't matter as much.

Me personally I would not want to be in a guild that sandbags purposely. the players left out miss 2 free zeta bits min, so they are potentially getting less zetas than if they just stayed in and lost tw.I hate tw but for 0 effort you can get 2 free zetas. doesn't compute to me.

Bingo! My guild is nearly 200M GP and not TW focused so there are times we get our keisters handed to us by guilds with 180M GP who are TW-centric.

Our guild is 129M GP and got matched with a 169M GP guild (that's +31% difference). They do have sit-outs to bring their GP in the lower bracket amd face guilds with players that don't have nearly as much strength as they do.

I'm talking of them having a Revan zone, a Traya zone, and on and on while we dont even have these characters? None of us!!! And this happens regularly in our bracket. It's knowned by the devs yet nothing has changed.

That's what is called matchmaking exploits. Not a 180M matched with a 200M...

Our guild fluctuates between 175 and 185 million GP. We are a TW focused guild and regularly place in the top 25 each month. As a TW focused guild we hate being matched up with someone with lower GP than us. It hurts your overall ranking, and takes the fun out match. Two weeks ago we dropped from 17 to 47, in the ranking, after we won against a lower GP guild. Last TW we match against a 186 m gp guild and we are back in the top 25, however, we will miss out on a top 10 finish.
