Hi @Mighty_Sarlacc and thanks for reporting this.
It appears that the matchmaking is correct as your guild had more participants than the other guild. There is only a slight difference between GP of the participants from the two guilds.

Hi @EA_UltraSlide - thanks so much for looking into this and confirming. I feared this might be the case.
By my rough maths, the 40 players from the opposition (if equally divided) would have an average GP of about 5.2m. Our active players had an average GP of about 4.4m. That’s actually a big difference when it’s across 40+ players, in terms of game resources and number of tier 1 or 2 squads available.
Is there any way you can reclassify this ticket as a feature upgrade rather than a bug @EA_UltraSlide and move it to the right people? Matching first on total available GP (rather than average player GP, and then total available GP) makes the system very vulnerable to mis-matches such as ours above. Some guilds will be aware of this and will be exploiting it, which threatens to really damage the game mode and motivation/participation (it already is).
I’d really appreciate this issue getting further consideration. It’s really important to many of us.
Many thanks!
