Territory Wars Matchmaking Manipulation
Why do you allow guilds to be matched based solely on the registered players for a Territory War. A select few of the so called bigger guilds are manipulating the system to their own advantage by rot...

They either had 44 or 45 folks register, we had 49 (although 2 never showed up). They had an average GP of 1.86 mil. If they had 6 not join, that would likely take them down to around 83 mil GP at worst. If you're sandbagging, having your 3 mil GP leader sit out doesn't make any sense. Further, active GP really isn't much different than normal GP. For our guild, we were just north of 75 mil total GP at lock and had 74.5 active.
Again, this is not the first time this has happened. Our first opponent in the 70 mil bracket had just about 81 mil active gp. Further, in every TW we have had lower GP than our opponent and have won every time. So that makes me wonder if W/L plays into their matching mechanisms...but the last two TW while satisfying, have been draining for my guild's officers and players.
Really, I'm interested in knowing what are the actual mechanics EA uses to match guilds in TW. The last two events we've been matched with guilds that have 12 to 18 mil more GP than us. Can we expect to go against a 100mil team tomorrow?
I also think our case is a prime example of why you should never deliberately go to a lower bracket, at least not sub 120 mil GP. We literally had one fleet left on offense that won us the TW. but our overall better numbers gave use more options and more attacks.
