TW Sandbagging

This is a bit ridiculous. It's amusing how my guild members aren't entirely upset about the fact that we can't do anything to win. Clear sandbagging, even F1 or any sport has officials and regulation...

I think most guilds have been there. Because of work or travel (or apathy) we usually get 40-43 participants. Sometimes we get matched against a guild with great participation getting 50 - and it feels to them like we are sandbagging. I know there are guilds that intentionally run 30 (and force sit 20) and that really doesn’t feel like the spirit of the game- but even with that aside the matchmaking feels like it delivers a lopsided match two thirds of the time (at least) and maybe a competitive battle in only one third of the TWs.

I think the body of your email is finding fault with the algorithm and the rules as opposed to sandbagging. Is it better than the previous version of matchmaking? I think so?
I am worried that Relic delta will make sandbagging more popular as those high relic defensive teams will be harder for smaller guilds to displace.
