TW matchmaking

Before you jump down my throat, I absolutely agree with what needs to be done with the matchmaking.

But...

1) Our guild (280M GP) just entered a war with 42 signed up. TW is optional and 7 people chose not to participate. Absolutely nothing deliberate or engineered about it. This happens WAY more than people think. Neither you or I know whether there's more apathy or nefarious plotting behind guilds entering TW shorthanded, but I can assure you that not every guild going in shorthanded is intentionally trimming participation.

2) In our TW optional lifespan, we have had some really poor matchups in our favour. Those wars were not fun. We've had several brilliant wars where the winning margin was <50 banners (including one where we lost by 2 and one where we won by 3) and we've had about half a dozen horrendous matchups against an even bigger guild who wiped the floor with us.

TL;DR:

Not every guild goes in short handed intentionally, and going in short handed absolutely does not guarantee you an easier matchup.

I wouldn't jump down your throat about this. My guild has had low participation before, it happens, especially around the holidays.

But when history reports show that a guild is ALWAYS short 8-9 people that's dubious, imo.
