Overall it appears to be the exact same matching algorithm as last time, which is to say it blows. The wars have done more to disenfranchise me than any other aspect of the game. GREE SAYS NOTHING on the issue so I have to assume they see no problem. They smartly added an individual quest thus time which has spurred people to spend a little more than before and they probably got an added bonus from the unexpected fast start from RK, so the bottom line is still holing I would guess.
I'm pondering an exit from KA, I unfortunately care about the ability of my character to compete and after maybe a year, to much money, WAY to much time I have a toon that's fodder for 2 out of every 3 guilds we face. 2 out of every 3 guilds we have faced this war are double to triple our strength. Most have less members. After the last war and seeing that I was not alone in my concerns I decided to see if Gree would respond, they did, they added the iLTQ, to increase gem usage, and nothing else. Ok, I get the message.
