Who likes the matchmaking in WorlWars? Are your alliance members happy with it? What do you do when you have another 565:10? Boycott? And this has nothing to do with sandbagging. We all do. Are there only so few alliances left in the game, that unfair matchups are normality? Who is for it: Remove the guys, who are responsible for it, from the game.

If they removed those responsible (i.e. cheaters and hackers) then there would be no target pool left. And they have already said they do not remove cheaters. So their "solution" is to remove target pools (35v35 45v45) to make target pools better...😲

Their war mechanics is the best in the genre. All other systems require you to stack your alliance (CWA 250 LVL only). The trade off they are dealing with is matchmaking and people trying to game the mechanics.

At the end of the day it all normalizes. Even sand baggers that move up soon hit other sand baggers. #2 ranked in leaderboard is still losing half their battles as they have to fight alliances just as tough. The system will move you down till you do start winning.

I don't think you understand the matchmaking system.
You do know there is no moving up or down in matchmaking depending on your glory count, right?

The only thing that affects what team you get in war matchmaking is your average war weight, there is no glory matchmaking, which is why it doesn't matter where you are in the rankings, you can run into a sandbagging team that has the same average war weight as yours (that is false and brought down by their iron age bases).

My mistake, this makes it all the more important to improve match making so sand baggers are matched with other sand baggers. System still far and away better than ones that require you to only have maxed out players in alliance.

i thought it was a combination of glory and those in same weight band as your alliance. That way you can have strong and weak players in an alliance and be competitive.

There are some quick adjustments they can make to reduce its' effectiveness and make it more of an annoyance to sandbag, but it looks like there is no interest on BHG's behalf.
