This has been discussed MANY times. It's not sandbagging... It's just the way guilds operate when they are not TW focused. The weird thing about CG's TW matchmaking is for guilds that want to create a 50 person team to truly compete in TW, they get pummeled. I'm sure this is what you are experiencing, and I feel for you! What is happening is that for non TW focused guilds, they generally make TW optional. It is because of this that causes them to win a lot more often due to the broken matchmaking. What you call "sandbagging" is just how a guild chooses to focus their efforts. For a guild that is primarily focused on TB and the raids, they usually only have 30-35 players interested/available for TW. For our guild the rule is, if you sign up, you must participate. Failure to place defense or to not attack gets a guild member a 2 TW penalty in which they are not allowed to join.
I'm not saying you are wrong in regards to the TW matchmaking system, it 100% needs an overhaul! Trying to focus on TW and getting crushed by guilds with 150M GP more than you isn't fun in anyway. However, placing the blame on other guilds for sandbagging, when that isn't what is really occurring, isn't productive.
