starson if a 210m guild drops 3 people and their active gp is 197. with 47 people then they will get pair with a similar amount of people with similar amount of active GP.
the sharpshooter example of an arguement you are using as an arguement applies to whale guilds with an average of 4 million gp+ per player, which is severely limited to the number of comparative sized guilds to match to. even so at that size with 210m gp the margin of difference between that and a 190 m gp guild is minimal. we are speaking of an average differnce of 400k per player. it's a lot more of an impact at lower levels
too many people put to much emphasis on GP.
I'm 2.4 million gp but could destroy a 2.8 million gp player head to head if his gp is made up of mostly g7 toons, most of my gp comes from the 40 or so g11 and g12 toons. I've seen players with more gp than me and only 12 or so g11+ toons. lean rosters do make a difference. so it's not verifiably false, you are obviously one of these players that puts too much stock into GP.
but if you must insist on believing in the fairytale of GP of importance, if 45 people join a tw they will be matched to a guild with a similar amount of active players, not all 50, with a a similar amount of active GP coming from all toons above 6000gp.
active gp# factors in the active players full roster, but the gp that gets used for match making comes from toons above 6000 which is less than the active gp because it doesnt factor in gp less than 6000 than arent eligable. this number is not specifically known and separate from active gp or guild gp.
also how is it sandbagging when our guild only has 48 members and 2 of them are dont join because they arent active players.
do you think they should join regardless so that the rest of the guild can carry them while they put up donuts because they are busy in RL?
even so your theory is demonstrably false as I have shown above, more than a few times we have been paired with a guild 30 million in gp more than up (93 milllion<127million) and still won.
you're view on how the match making works is overly simple and why it seems unfair to you when you dont understand the complexity involved
