I can no longer spend any money on this game until this issue is fixed TW BUGS WITH MATCHMAKING but matching us against whales in every TW is not fair, oh wait maybe the other guild won't attack

What bugs?
Numbers don't lie we are overmatched in 98% of our TWs
"the other guild being better than yours" is not a bug.
We are overmatched in 98% of our TWs this is not competitive game play & it's unfair knowing your going to lose before you get started this has been going on over a year now

You need to define "overmatched" if you want anyone to take this seriously. You can't just say "they are more gooder IZ TEH BUGZ" and expect any sympathy. Obviously in every TW one guild will have the "advantage" on paper. Doesn't mean you can't win.

Arena rank means nothing. You can be in shard chat and get top 1 easily with an average team.
And you can be excluded from shard chat, with a very good team. You will have hard time entering top 20

While your overall point is correct, "you can be in shard chat and get top 1 easily with an average team" is extremely unlikely.
Thank you for the details but as others have said that doesnt paint the whole picture, I think the total is accurate but the average, character, and ship GP are probably not.
If 98% matchups are not in your favor, then perhaps your guild members are less competitive than the average 4.4M player.
While it's true that better arena ranks doesn't necessarily mean better players, it DOES mean higher crystal incomes, which are used to strengthen the guild over time.
You need guild members to start earning more crystals, and only add GP for high value characters.
If over half your guild doesn't even have .gg profiles, I think we can safely assume that most TW losses are on account of most of them being very casual players who don't really care if they win TW. So they probably use bad counters, have mediocre mods, and load TM like crazy.
The average character GP is far more telling than any other data there. Even the average from 17 vs. 41 is quite informative. For the average (his mates) to be 600,000 less than their mates, that is a lot of disparities if that average has low standard error. I'm running a comparison of the guilds right now with the DSR BOT and I will post pics when it returns.
1 interesting thing to me is that of the 45 members of the supposed "whale" guild, 43 of them have a good Enfys Nest. The non-whale with more members has less than half the good Enfys Nests. That actually does kinda speak to the quality of the rosters . The "whale guild" does kill them on G12 gears and relics also. Same with the DR Malak comparisons.
I’m the leader of the Skeleton Crew. To be honest this one felt like a bit of a mismatch however we had a pretty low number of people join. So it was all of the driven people. Quite a few have been taking a pass lately for reasons you are all probably experiencing.
For what it’s worth, it felt like you guys went a bit heavy on D. You had quite a few with multi-holds. Our front NS zone had 8/19 take more than one attempt on D for you to beat them and they are nothing special. Fleet never came into it.
We are mostly free to play but have a couple of spenders who have the GLs. We’ve only ever won 27 TWs lifetime but probably have a winning record this year so it’s not like we are a bunch of whales or super players.
Sorry if this feels like sticking the boot in, it’s not intended that way. You guys seem like a solid guild. I think with low Join numbers we sometimes get a better matchup but only in the last few months (maybe we have low G13 numbers and high G12 numbers, just a theory).
At 27 lifetime wins we had a couple of years of getting our **** handed to us so its nice to get a few matches in our favour lately.
(Also we are recruiting... shameless promo. Msg me)
I don't think i would consider Nest to be a show of roster quality, but thats probably biased by never missing kyber with a g1 lvl1 nest
It is an indicator. Not the determining factor. Nest has high utility. A roster with a usable Nest effectively has an extra niche squad in that she can solo certain other squads. And yes, your never-missed Kyber is anecdotal.
The "whale" guild has
3538 G12 or better versus 2850
577 20+ speed mods versus 316
"Whale" guild leader states 2 members are GL whales, but honestly if I had those numbers above with the GL whales subtracted out I still would've bet $ on Skeleton Crew. More DR Malaks and Nests and gear and better mods. Just overall more focused players.
Yeah that’s a fair point. Number of Malaks is a huge advantage. It’s a nice compliment to be called out as a strong guild as we probably don’t see ourselves in that light
As long as TW matchups are done on guild GP you will always get this happening! My guild has alot of 4-5 mil gp players who have low quality rostas and I cannot remember the last time we won a TW! As a guild you have a choice...drop the poor rostas in your guild of accept that you are not going to be winning many TWs

TW #119: 94 wins - 25 loss
This is not a bug.
Kyno, this is a little detail

Face it, this is one of the most poorly constructed “TW matchmaking is unfair” threads we’ve seen.
Dude! Read the numbers right. There's a little detail: 17 profiles only. Your remaining 33 members are not included in those numbers.
(also arena ranks are irrelevant)
While your overall point is correct, "you can be in shard chat and get top 1 easily with an average team" is extremely unlikely.
Yeah, read it right.
220kk vs 232kk with 50 vs 46. 4 members more but 12 million GP less.fAiR
Also, how many joined from the each side?

They matter alot more than you think they do. But in regards to matchmaking this isn't really that bad of a situation at all in my opinion OP.

We're talking matchmaking here. Arena ranks don't matter at all. Rosters matter - ranks don't.
(yes, arena ranks matter for your income of resources, but that's irrelevant in a matchmaking situation).
