I am the guild leader of a 209m GP guild which has mandatory TW participation. As a result of this we usually have 50/50 and we routinely face opponents who are 230m+ who have only 44 or 45 members sign up. The TW match making system has resulted in many competitive guilds intentionally sitting out players to be matched with weaker guilds. Our opponents this round had an average player GP of 4.67 to our 4.18.Match guilds based on their total GP and not active GP. It should be our responsibility to get our members to sign up. If our members dont sign up and we lose, that's on us. We have players who will be busy/away on TW just post more on defense. We should be penalized for poor participation, not perfect participation.

I disagree. I want us matched on average gp per player. TW is supposed to be optional. People shouldn't be penalized or get a boost based on their participation levels.

The fact that you choose to make TW mandatory in your guild in no way means that’s how it “should be,” and it was quite specifically not designed that way.

Now if they recruit a new alt with 0 TW wins who signs up for TW, (49*45)/50=44.1And what if the guild has a lot of relatively low GP players, with a high amount of TW wins, while their high GP players have a low amount of wins? The average amount of wins would not reflect the actual strength of the guild in TW.

At 209m gp all your members should have decently build squads, more than enough to face a guild with 5-6 less people. In fact it should be their disadvantage, not yours. This is a problem when 200m gp guild is matched with 140-150m.

What about a similar method to GAC? Look at the data for a typical number of characters used for TW. Maybe 2000 or so as a rough number throw out? Then match based on the GP of the top 2000 characters in the guild.

We (211m guild) have similar problem. Last maybe 10 TWs we got strong opponent above 220m having several alt accounts that are not joining TW..
It is really frustrating, to have not chance because of current matchmaking model.

Comparisons:
Malak 32 vs 49
Drevan 37 vs 49
6 mods 3096 vs 4328
Rel7 characters 32 vs 98

Please fix matchmaking, TW event is broken..
