I just read the announcement @Ad0ra_

Not sure if the solution presented is best, but it is good to see.

My alliance 1nwa missed a war because search was close to 3 hours. I have also heard 1-2 other alliances having had the same problem and not being able to match. Shouldnt all alliances have equal number of matches for the season if they searched with adequet time?

I have voiced out the flaws of the search function on multiple occasions even before the aw season began on the forum and through tickets. Why did it take only now to address this issue?

Because the biggest spenders prolly said they'd stop spending for an extended amount of time so Kabam jumped for them

It’s a horrible decision they made imo. Honestly we deal with bugs and flaws throughout the game that costs us units, items or even rewards yet they do nothing about that. Then 1 alliance suffers game flaws and kabam throws them rewards “they deserve”. Blah, really good job 👍

Lower alliances have no say in this game. My alliance was close to the top of ratings and had no issues matching. The team that missed out made a bad decision and ran out of time. Now they get points for a war that was never fought and never spent on to win..... Doesn't sound fair to me! War is very difficult now and every win is hard fought for but a "top" alliance cries and gets free points. Please reconsider this decision Kabam!

This is insane. Not the changes being made to matchmaking - that part is good. But the obviously deferential treatment being granted to MMXIV is beyond ridiculous. Can Kabam really back up the claim that they’re the only alliance that missed 1-2 wars because of long matchmaking times? And regardless of whether they can, is manually adjusting the rewards based on previous performances in war really the answer? This screams of favoritism. I’m not the biggest Kabam cynic, but this really irks me.

To make a change this late in the season gives a perception of collusion or favoritism.
Nice way to create bad morale in the community and chase people to retirement kabam.

Well to some extent at least they aren't taking rewards away from anyone. But I do remember a post from an MMXIV guy saying they are having to wait 8+ hours each matchmaking before they fixed matchmaking. Which yes if your waiting that long it's not possible to get 3 wars in. Where as a 3-4hr wait eaxh war is still possible

Which is understandable, also fixing the matchmaking system. But fixing the rewards is an insult to everyone else. Everyone individually or alliance wise has issues to over come with bugs, lagging, broken game machaincs etc...plentiful of complaints daily and we won’t see anything rewarded back to us. Favouritism at its best.

Some matches will take longer to find - this is normal and is also impacted by when you enter matchmaking. What made this situation very unique was the fact that they entered matchmaking the second it opened, and matchmaking closed without them getting a match at all.

There's no conspiracy theory here folks - this was a unique situation in how it impacted one alliance in a big way. While it's really easy to dogpile on an alliance at 'the top' or suggest preferential treatment, it impacted them differently and that's a fact. We wanted to be up front and transparent right from the start on how we were addressing this, but don't plan on debating the details of it further.

Also as a reminder - it's against our forum rules to specifically call players or alliances out.
