I hope they do something with matching. The last 3 TW my 85M guild has been matched up with guilds at 120M. They supposedly have fewer people sign up but they have an advantage in that their average player signed up probably has 2.5M power where we are at 1.7M or so
Matching in GP, person to person is way different than matching guilds the way they do.
There are many factors that change the TW matching that wouldn't be present in a person to person match up.

We are all assuming the same code will be used to match up players. A player with a deep roster of ships and GS 11 toons at 2.5 mil GP could be matched against a similar 2.5 mil GP player who has no ship development, but tons of GS 12 well zeta’d teams.
