Tired of playing above bracket matchups

Please fix this. 3 of our last 4 matchups have been against guilds in higher brackets. Roughly they were:

118 vs 124
119 vs 126
120 vs 134
and our current TW of 119 vs 126.

We're down one player, and setting a full 25 defenses against a guild 7 mil stronger than us. So this means that they have full participation and the defensive banners are not rounding down as they're supposed to.

All of those numbers are active GP. We know this because we've won the previous 3 TW. The down 14 mil gp matchup was incredibly frustrating. Their entire guild had GP higher than our guild median. How is that balanced? Are we being punished because consistently win in TW?

This is incredibly frustrating because at this bracket, the losers for each TW are getting as many zetas as our guild for winning. The continued lack of fixing of this situation, by either keeping matchups in the same bracket or having both guilds play for the same rewards is incredibly discouraging.

    I wouldn't consider 120M vs 134M an "even" matchup considering that's active GP participating in TW, not total guild GP. It sounds like you guys are saying that we shouldn't be expecting getting a fair matchup because we have a winning record in TW.

    While I agree that matchmaking could be better, I could really care less what loot they get.... I care about what our guild gets.....


    That's the point that mf is trying to make..... That if a guild should be forced to play another guild that's in a higher rewards bracket, then both guilds should get rewards from that higher rewards bracket..... win or lose.....

    So get on board with the rest of us that are asking for better, more fair matchmaking....

    Suggesting that some guilds below 60 mil should randomly get a shot at a guaranteed zeta and a shot at two if they win, while another guild of the same GP has to fight for one and possibly get none is suggesting something worse than the current system.....

    Obviously you are in even matches cuz you are winning, what you are asking sounds more like you want easy wins. Now if you were losing every match, then you would have a leg to stand on, as it is, you are floundering here. We are always matched against higher GP guilds, yet we win nearly every match, . . Mebbe I should ask for easy matches as well . . . .

    Because that's how you advance in the game.

    What is frustrating is that we repeatedly play guilds out of our bracket and they're getting the same level of rewards as us. There appear to be easy solutions to this (like giving the lower guild the same rewards bracket). While that may be difficult to implement with coding, a response from EA would be appreciated as to why guilds don't play for the same bracket.

    Having guilds play for different rewards in a head to head match up makes no sense. It's like if the winner of Wimbledon got less money for winning the final because they were ranked lower. It's a head to head match up, we should be competing for the same prize.

    You're right this isn't professional sports, this is about fair play in a game. Where head to head matchups should be playing for the same prize. It's how all games work (at least in theory).

    If you fail to see the connection between game advancement and a guild as a whole losing out on 3 zetas and 3 better prize boxes, I don't know how to help you.

    This isn't a new experience for our guild. In the 30-someodd TW, we've only had higher GP twice. Every other match up we've been lower. We are consistently playing at a lower bracket. We just happen to know be at a place where we're rather that losing out on shards, we're losing out on zetas. And that is a particular issue causing frustrations.

    "The reward tiers are for building a stronger guild and for participation.... Just like the star system in TB....."

    Which is why guilds should be playing for the same rewards.
