Although this list shows the strength of the glory rankings with different sized wars, I still feel the way to the top is being able to match with an opponent that has enough glory to give both alliances 300 or more glory to the winner every match. No matter the size of the war, if one alliance is hovering at 12k, the better alliance (95% of 12k glory alliances will lose said war) only gets less than 100 glory. Now I'm putting these opinions out from what I'm seeing and we pretty much stay around 17k glory. We pretty much match with alliances that are hovering at 12k.
Again, Nexon stated that Alliances that are winning alot of wars would give that alliance a higher % to match other alliances that also wins wars. I think there are more hidden elements that are at fault. This glory issue has done become so frustrating we don't even worry about it anymore. We're basically going back to pre-glory mentality and just trying to have fun.
As of right now, if you ain't stacking, it's hard packing this crap they call glory.
