World war matchmaking

[Scuba]

Just to get this noticed a little bit more.

Im sure that some people are bored with world war posts and sorry if this has already been covered in an earlier post but. . . . . .

In our alliance we war once per week (rewards don't really cover the cost of tactics/mercs etc) and before glory points were introduced we could of practically faced anyone. Just take the rough with the smooth as we used to say.
Now though we only face the toughest of opponents which would be fine if we were at the same level just underachieving but sadly most of our opponent have 15 players above are top player.
We believe in an opportunity for all regardless of skill and level just as long as you take part and again sadly some of our players are bored with getting 5 starred every war and attacking 40 levels above themselves.
We have 3-4 players capable of taking out most in a war but some of our players are not so good concentrating on resources rather than offensive strength. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to take part at a reasonable level in WW though.
So thinking cap on I feel a good way around this would be introducing alliance leagues a bit like the multi-player battle leagues.
That way our alliance 13'700 glory points won't be facing teams at 20k plus every war.

Victory for the little guys

We are experiencing the same thing 6 of the last 10 wars have been sandbaggers. Two were in the top 15 and two more in the top 75. When I look at their alliance sure enough 2-4 of the bottom haven't been on in 80-90 days.
It is getting tiresome to get a perfect score against us because of it.

The ones doing it will whine about why they do it but it doesn't matter to those of us who enjoy a competitive war.
I have considered when we match these chicken littles anymore not filling any war castles and have no one attack because it's pointless, will that be fun for those of you who do it?

It's not even the sandbagging that's doing it.
We have faced alliances where their 25 is equivalent to our 12.
Just the computer throwing us against the next decent team that comes along at the time of search.
I left the alliance for a few weeks and 'toured 10-12 other alliances who were just getting easy pickings at war.
Seems you don't get matched against equal opponents.

We are currently in a 10 vs 10 war. The opponent team is composed by 7 atomics, 2 globals, 1 classical. Our team: 2 atomics, 3 globals, 5 industrials.
Matchmaking from hell.

Later edit: We lost 48 to 50. It's our second loss since glory was implemented and we are seriously thinking on starting sandbagging, like everybody else. That, or giving up on wars, which means giving up on game...
