Why? What hasn't been explained yet?

For starters. The people who need to see this and make the required changes to the system have been completely silent. They refuse to do anything to fix content. Matchmaking has been broken for years!
My last message on here from 2 wars ago. We had another matchup in the last war that was even worse.
There is no way that my guild should ever go up against guilds that have 20+ more GLs than us and an easy pass to clear the entire map. Why are we not matched up against similar guilds with similar number of GLs and similar GP ranking? It isn't even close. All we can do is place defenses and hope everyone gets enough points for the second place reward every time.

2 pieces of advice which you are free to heed or ignore…

1) the devs will never change matchmaking to ensure guilds / individuals face a similar number of GLs. You can bump threads as often as you like, but they won’t implement that change, nor should they.

2) A well-run guild should never have to “hope” their members get enough points to earn rewards. Signed up members need to set 2 teams on defence to clear the 50 banner threshold. If your board is filled before all members have had the chance to set 2 teams, your guild leadership need to improve.

It has nothing to do with how many GLs a guild has over another. When there is a clear difference across the board and the guild you face is in a completely different bracket, it makes no sense. I wouldn't expect a guild of unranked, "less than Carbonite" members who started last month to match up against a guild with whales and high tier Kyber players. Not only is it a failure in the system but it is also unfair for everyone involved on both sides.
