This was our last TW:

Members :: 50 vs 48
GP :: 133.1M vs 184.5M
Avg Arena Rank :: 449.58 vs 281.71
Avg Fleet Rank :: 105.88 vs 159.02
Zetas :: 1539 vs 2378

We had full participation. We had to set 17 defenses per territory. That's not possible without them not fielding significantly less than their full 48.

Assuming a perfectly average distribution of GP on their side (3.85m GP per account), they would have had to sign up with only 34 people, give or take. Their lowest listed GP on swgoh is 2 million. So it most certainly happens.

Whether it's intentional or not doesn't change the fact that matchmaking is **** poor at dealing with that scenario.

Are you suggesting they should be matched against another 185m gp guild that may have all 50 members signed up? Even if this makes a 130 vs 185 active gp matchup...?

Or are you suggesting you should be matched against other 130m hp guilds that may only have 30 of 50 members signed up? I'm sure you would like a 130 vs 75m match but the other guild may think this is unfair, dont u think?

Either solution would create a much more imbalanced war system, I hope you can see that because to me and many others it is clear as day.
