Nexon/BHG, your matchmaking leaves a lot to be desired. Stop the presses! Right? Since the promised tweeks on ''The Road to Better World War Matchmaking'' were all a bunch of smoke blown up our collective kiesters perhaps you should provide more options.

Quick Match- The mostly expedient yet highly dubious matching we have now.

Best Match- A lengthier search with a much narrower range. Perhaps this could add glory as a component. Yes, I understand that glory won/lost is merely a function of who has more glory, not how strong they really are. However, I've yet to see a 90:900 (or worse) glory ratio ever yield a remotely compelling matchup. Whereas if the glory won/lost is within 200 or so it's a decent match most of the time.

The point being that blowouts aren't fun on either side of them. Just a waste of RSS and 47 hours. I'd rather wait 12 hours for a decent match than spend 2 days waiting to roll the dice again. I know I don't speak for others that''s why I think there should be both options.

This post isn't about sandbagging, there's not enough left of that dead horse to make glue from at this point. Just an option to narrow search parameters regardless of how engineered the lineup may or may not be.

12 hours is way too long to wait for most groups. The removal of 35v35 and 45v45 was to increase the pool size of others which speeds matching.

Unfortunately this means sandbagger sweet spot has moved to 25v25 and 30v30 and hence high disproportionate matches.

Adjust your lineup or take the hard matches as a challenge and dont stress. Its a game.

Once I stopped worrying about oil loss/hard war matches/leaderboard position recently the game actually became fun again. As a result my gameplay actually improved quite a bit.

I fail to see why they can't offer both. Not every alliance wars every 48 hours. The post has ''Options'' right there in the title afterall.

Perhaps "best match" option would only be for 20v20 matches or 15v15, whatever is the most popular. The rest can plod along as usual. that way the wait shouldnt be too long even for optimal matchups.
