Who thinks TW Match Making works well?
I have been observing the matchmaking on TW for the last few months and it just does not add up. Wins and losses aside, does TW Matchmaking really work? Are you regularly matched against a Guild tha...

I'm a guild officer for a guild with ~100m-110m these past 6 TWs. I use the bot for TW matches and the matchmaking is definitely more bad than good. Out of the last 6 TWs we have won 1. Why? Because of GLs. 5 of those 6 matches have been against opponents with at least 3 GLs, one opponent had 7 GLs... We have 0 GLs, 6 malaks (2 at 7*), 7 DRs, 1 GAS... You get the point. We have nothing that's going to blow away an opponent, but we do have good strategies and decent all-around rosters. The one TW we did win was against a team with 0 GLs that was very similar to our guild in terms of meta characters except with Traya and GG (they had 14 to our 7, and 47 to our 35, respectively). Before this stretch of 6 TWs, we were 3-1 because of good matchmaking (0 GLs in our opponents' squads, and fairly decent similarities with the other meta teams). I've spoken with some GL owners against whom we've had to fight and they say they're either taking a break from the hardcore TWs from their real guilds, or they are helping out a friend win a TW easily. I'm not against that at all, but if people are going to be doing that, at least pair them up against a similar guild with GLs.
Also, I have seen what was mentioned previously where a guild had 33 players to our 45, but they all had really good rosters (all at 3m+ GP, multiple GASes, DRs, malaks, etc.). That's really not fair at all when we have some players at 700k GP joining TW.
All in all, I'm not saying matchmaking is horrible, but it does need a lot of improvement. It's just too inconsistent in my opinion. A guild of 100m GP is basically a beginner, early mid-player guild. We are all f2p in my guild and play for fun. We should not be facing guilds with multiple GLs and 30+ DRs and Malaks at this point...
I'll tell you a "secret", people don't go through months of the very hard grind of GL just to be in the same situation- they do it to get an advantage.
The matchmaking is set by the active gp of the participating players, not the gp of the entire guild. That mean each guild is match with a guild within the range of reasonable active gp. Now, what we do with our gp is entire up to us. We could have this gp from Tuskan or from Sith Empire, from Phoenix or from 501st (I go to the extream for the argument).
