Q&A: Sandbagging Response
So @CG_Cyanides you don't understand how 40 players with 5.5M GP can overrun a guild of 50 with 4.4M GP in TW?

sorry for my lack of knowledge, but can someone briefly explain how sandbagging works? It seems likes it’s not possible for it to give you an advantage, but I would assume I just don’t know how it works.
To me it just seems that the matchmaking system just does a not-so-great job at taking into account the varying rosters across the board.
Guilds with a true power of 220 million can intentionally leave out gp and get matched with a guild with 195 million GP. In this case, say the bigger guild is running only 38 of their members, resulting in a GP of 198, That means their members are sporting an avg of 5.2 million. The full guild at 195 is only at 3.9 million. That leaves 1.3 million per member to have some very high powered teams.
Most of the time this happens due to people not wanting to play this greedy game, but there are also instances where this is done to game the system
