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.

People would be happier if the matchmaking metric were avg GP/player; this is what I think it should be and end it there.
