Also, wanted to come back and mention this cuz it's been bothering me.. Not sure why you guys use the term "sandbagging" rather than "exploit," in this case the latter is much more applicable. Just saying..1 : to make productive use of : UTILIZE
2 : to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage
...but it's all semantics.
sandbagging is not a real thing. our guild tells players not to join if they arent going to be active, not to "sandbag" anything.
if only 45 players join, then you get matched to a guild of like numbers with like average gp.
the part of the equation you are missing in your thought process is you get matched based upon total gp of all characters 6000gp and above.
so if alot of people in your guild have a majority of thier gp coming from a bunch of g6 g7 and g8 toons over 6000 go. your going to get matched to some people who have more dense gp and get killed.
keep your rosters lean
Almost all of this is false. I'll take you at your word that your guild has people drop if they won't be active. But the rest of it is just wrong. Matchmaking does not currently look at GP at all, or number of people that signed up.
So, while you may always happen to get paired with guilds that also are missing 4 or 5 people, that is not the norm. It is a well known tactic to either keep people out on a rotation for overall higher rewards, or to keep 2 or 3 ticket alts in the guild that don't join TW. This allows guilds to go in at 46 or 47, which usually results in a very favorable matchup for that guild. Certainly not always, but most of the time.
