TW matchmaking [MERGE]
Our first match was with a 52m guild the next is 59m. We sit at around 55m on tw. We wiped the floor with the last and we are getting wiped this time. Seems like we need a tighter algorithm if it's j...

Our 1st TW we seemed to be matched up pretty good with our opponent, but this time we had 1 of our guild members look up our competitions GP and it is 6 million higher than ours! That’s a huge difference and it is showing on this TW. I know that it is too hard to get both sides exact, but can you at least make sure that there is only a difference of 1 million or less?
Honestly even a 1 million +/- won't help. It needs to be based on g12/11/10 toon quantity (or gp based solely on those toons). My guilds first match was within the +/- 1 million but they could field multiple top 20 g12 arena teams when we don't have anyone with a top 20 arena team. Needless to say they easily won.
With TB explicitly requiring gp inflation through the * and leveling of trash toons, gp is a very poor metric on which to base a guilds effective pvp power.
As it currently is the only guilds that will get regular good match ups are the ones that can 45/45 lstb already and have multiple g12 teams. Casual or small guilds still working to 45/45 lstb have to choose between inflating their gp with the trash toons needed for platoons & general gp inflation for deployments or focus on gearing up existing teams to g11/12 for tw (so lower gp but comprised mostly of powerful toons). You can't realitically do both
