TW Matchmaking Solution

The Problem: Guilds, either on purpose, or on accident, are not joining TW with all 50 members. As such, since TW matchmaking is based on active GP (which it should be), they are facing weaker guilds and can easily steamroll them.
The Solution (maybe?): I don't think a fix to this will come from changing the matchmaking algorithm. I see way too many variables and potential problems.
However, what if we based the rewards on total guild GP, not just active GP? So, if a 120M guild drops down a bracket and ends up facing a 110M guild, the 110M guild (assuming they lose) will receive the 2nd place rewards from the 120M GP bracket.
This won't help with bragging rights, but the increase in rewards would help soothe the loss right?

The solution to this problem isn't to give the losing guild better rewards. It's to properly match make. Pitting two teams against each other in vastly different brackets or different brackets period shouldn't happen.

Either this game doesn't have enough guilds within certain gp ranges to properly match make or
There system is woefully not working as intended. Or a combination of both.

Fact is they need to match guilds correctly pitting a 170m gp guild against a 140m gp guild should never happen. Just like a 200m gp guild shouldn't go up against a 170m gp guild.


Personally this game wasn't really meant for pvp in this way. Gp rules all and without proper matchmaking it kills the fun out of it to learn your going up against a much more powerful guild. Every guild should have the ability to earn first place when matched. They shouldn't have to placate to second because ea/cg can't figure out how to matchmake properly.
