Rivalry matching is surely flawed

    Hi.
    I'm captain of a guild ranked about 3300 at the moment. At the beginning it was good fighting rivalries every week to get the first/second prize.
    But the more we won the harder it got. We are now in a point we are matched with 4 guilds matched 400-500 global ranking.

    Infamy wise their players are massive 3500-2500 infamy and according gear /captain levels. Our highest player is 1400. All the others are 1000-0.
    I think you get the point that we cant compete at equal terms with players that can do damage 3 times we can.

    I don't mind fighting for the first prize on my level. I didn't sign to compete with NML level players to win a rivalry. If we ever get at their level sure I'd like to compete with them but at the moment just give us a fair chance to play at a level playing field.

    Rivalries are determined by looking at your most recent rivalries and the number of quests you completed.
    If you pushed hard and a few of the big boys relaxed then you will be matches together, which sucks when they turn the heat back on.

    Read your reply and other posts regarding this. Maybe I should have searched for these answers first but I wanted to be heard.
    I know now that nobody listens. Unfair matchmaking is everywhere in this game. Normal play, special events, rivalry matchmaking you name it all are flawed and it sucks the fun out of the game.
    I informed my guild of these news and we have decided to stop playing rivalries for a while and see where we get after 2 weeks of inactivity.
    If its one of the same then we see how we proceed.

    It looks at your previous 3 rivalries, so if you stop playing for 3 rivalries, then your 4th will only contain teams who also did 0 quests.
    However my guild earn more tokens from smashing the boards than the rivalry prize, so a 3 week break would leave us way out of pocket on the raffle tokens!
