I, and others, have posted idea along these lines in many threads at many times but when thread are generically about things that would enhance the game, or what we think of recent changes or whatnot, it is easy to lose track of all the good ideas out there. So i thought i would try a thread on a single idea that i think would make the game more enjoyable for all of us.
Repeat match-ups in war. We don't like them. We know they became grossly overabundant when Gree changed the matching system to give FUN shorter matching times. We also know that, despite what they say, the changes they make in the game ARE all about getting more money out of the big spenders not making the game enjoyable for everyone (see http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/195806/ ). However they have come in the forum to day otherwise. So I am trying yet againtdo suggest something that would improved the game for everyone... Except it may slow matching times at the top again, I don't know. But if so, if they are not liars, they will make changes like this that are for the good of everyone but the top 0.1%.
So my idea for limiting repeat match-ups in the same war is twofold: First, once matched with a guild, no matching with that guild again for at least 24 hours. Second, no matching with the same guild more than twice a war.
That's it. Simple. More guilds might get matched with the likes of FUN/RK/SB this way, but they wouldn't have to endure any of those guys twice in a row, nor more than twice a war. Even guilds you don't mind facing as much, it is kind of a drag to face them 4 times then twice in a row, etc. this change would make the game more fun for the masses IMO. What say you all?
I would also love to hear other ideas for how to reduce repeat match-ups that might be better than mine. :)
