What is with these matchups?

We had passenger issues like every guild, but we give them a couple of warnings before the boot.
I’m trying to rationalize it like this: you and I are matched individually. We both have 3.5 gp, however, you have way more 13s than I do, but I have one or two legendaries and you don’t, so gp wise that brings us on a similar level with gp. We ran into some legendaries in a past TW, but they had fewer players than we did who enlisted. So even though we outnumbered them, they won simply by having legendaries that we could not drop.

This TW just ended, we again lost, but it felt like more of a fair fight, so I have no issues with that. I understand matches are not based on guild GP, but rather more towards the GP of those who enlisted. But if 45 of 50 on our side enlist, and only 10 opposition enlist who have 2 legendaries, they will win simply by parking the show stoppers in the 1st Column
