In Bolts original post it states Rank and Power as being triggering factors. So is it possible to be of similar rank but of different power?
My initial thought was that this is an attempt to level the playing field some more, factions so powerful that they drop out these bonus scorings thus allowing a more fair result. Granted that isn't quite what I am seeing which is interesting.
Faction matchups, at least in the lower levels are all over creation, seems to be elsewhere as well. My 18 player test faction gets a 2 player and their DL can get nuked with 1 hit, hmmm.
Also noticing even lower participation then last WD.
