How are guilds matched for the guild challenges? Is it based on the number of fans? Average team stars? It's been a while since we were matched with a guild on our level. We have a few teams above 100* but most are between 60 - 100*. Somehow we keep getting matched to guilds where every team is above 100*. The one we have now, the guild we are up against has far more fans and far stronger teams than us. It was the same in the previous challenge. Is it just our bad luck or what?

Good day,

It's based on guild fan rankings. The guild must have less than 20% difference.

That is from a ticket, I'm not support. Please put the pitchforks away

Black Monks....can you not make a single post without being derogatory to the original poster? It's all I see from you after I thought you were one of the top good guys here. Gone way down in my estimation.

How was I derogatory to the original poster?

In fact, what posts am I derogatory to the original poster?

I've reread this all again out of confusion and I think you misunderstood my joke. I was saying to people in general that read this post not to think that I am support as many people have expressed frustration with developers and admin. It was a joke and not even an inappropriate or crude joke unless I'm missing something. If it means something I'm not aware of let me know and I will edit it.

I misunderstood your post then. My apologies for that.

As for the original topic, I am of the opinion that the harder the challenge, the better our Guild will become and faster...simply because we have to due to the quality of our opponents. Had some close calls recently in terms of results both for and against us but we generally "punch above our weight". Don't give up PhusionMedia just because you had a few tough ones....you will get there!

No worries allan, you had me worried for a second. I agree with getting hard challenge ges being good for growth, my complaint before I sold my players was how hard it is for top guilds to get good challenges. I honestly don't have a solution to this issue unless we can go with average rank instead of average fans and even then I fear some guilds who fancy themselves as top guilds will just drop their rankings to keep a clean sheet. But then the top guilds would be known. It's complex but fun to think about.

If Guilds at any level drop rankings to keep a clean sheet then ambitious, hard working, motivated, honest Guilds will overtake them regardless. It's a bit like individual "artificially low rated" teams trying to keep their fans....fine against some teams but if your starting 15 is still better than any 15 the "artificially low" can put together and your tactics are A+, you will beat them.

"Artificially low" for whole Guilds and/or individual teams will only work until they come up against a real Guild/Team and as you say BM, the real top Guilds will then be known.
