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.

I can't even read the rest of your wall of text, because you are still wrong about this. It happened to us a couple weeks ago. Guild with 212M GP dropped 3 players. Active GP would have been about 200M. We had 50 people and an active GP of 189M.

Matchmaking does not work the way you think it does. And it's largely irrelevant anyway, since they are changing it, and will give us probably fewer details about how it works than they did with this past system.

1. I hardly think that an average difference of 470k per player is a huge mismatch or giant disadvantage.
and again cg has said before that you are only matched on toons above 6000gp, and not on active GP, none of which the numbers you gave me take into account, so in will say again that your idea of how matchmaking has work is largely overly simplified an inncorrect.

2. like I've shown before it's possible to wipe the floor of a guild over 30 million more gp than you. GP. doesnt give an accurate depiction of power, or strategy or skill of the player.

it just sounds like a stream of excuses and whining from people who cant win because they arent that good at playing the game.

1. Find me the post then, because last I saw they said they took into account the top 5 teams, which would never discount chars under any GP.
2. Sure it is, unless that guild is purposefully sandbagging. GP is a terrible indicator of anything, but it's an easy number to quote.

But I would never expect someone who uses the exploit to own up to it, or admit that it's helped him ever. So it's cool.
