Silly way to do this. For me stats and faction size should not play any role in queing a match.
Current rank is the only criteria that makes any sense at all to base matchup on... and even that shouldn't be weighted very heavily. Sure the little guys will get some matches where their only recourse will be the CC, but retrospectively the big guys will get matches where their points are marginal for beating such low targets... such is life.
We got paired up a lot of times with factions of a similar size containing all players with much higher att/def (so obviously impossible to beat). It ruins the event because when it happens every few battles then its extremely hard to get a streak going. This is something that really needs to be worked on.
Sounds like what you are wanting to be worked on is a system bracketed by; those who want easy wins and thos who want a challenge.Originally Posted by Turks

The previous formula was fine till the streak prizes were not there as the teams played fair.
Now players from top teams have started playing negative games only to get to the streak prizes.
GREE needs to update the formula soon to avoid low level factions from loosing interest in otherwise a great event.
According to the existing formula this is what happened to us a couple of times this event:
We are a 34 member faction all having low stats, ranging from 200k to 800k
I calculated and our total strength comes to about 18m for 34 members.
We were on 5/6 and to our shock we got matched up with 5 member team, DL was 5m def and min was 3.7m.
Maybe their total strength was equal to our 34 members but how can we even try to beat them. I am sure they were SUP members and playing negative.
I would suggest that GREE needs to add another factor to make this better.
- they should divide total strength by number of members.
And match teams on basis of this factor.
In this way we can expect better match ups.
Well, our strongest player is about 1.6 meg. We are a faction of 32 but only had 28 players for this war. We were on a roll, having beat 4 opponents in a row when we pulled a faction of only 2 players. The weaker one was 3.8 meg. They got all the points they needed just taking down our wall or taking out the DL. How in the heII is that fair. All we could do was hit the command center. It should be the average strength of the players in the faction, not the total strength. That's why we keep getting matched against these small super factions of strong players assembled solely to beat the war quests.
