Please read the post, read it properly.... if tier matter in match making, then why these 10+ million alliances are in tier 7 , the fact for us to reached this higher AW rating is ... we have been matched with higher AW rating alliances in past and we have won all those war and adding 100 points to our rating , cause we won against an higher AW rating opponent. Now if we achieved the rating by defeating higher AW rating alliances, does it our fault , how we are suppose to know what tier we should be in ... when we are moving as per the AW system. We haven’t done anything outside this system, just following up the ladder....choose your words wisely in public forums ....
You are TOO high up dont complain just because your in alliance with an overrated war rating.Kabam is fixing this with the latest update
Overrated??? Who announced that the AW rating system is overrated.... does anyone know about this , if that is the case then it’s not just us .... there are many alliances who are overrated... I guess.
I completely disagree with saying that this isn't a match. Your war rating is very close to each other. You should be fighting each other.
Thanks for the confirmation, we actually did and we lost ... lol 😂
What AW rating you have ... did you achieved this rating starting from zero.
Ok ... and AW tier
I did read it properly. You are whinging about face higher rated alliances in tier three. Tier 3 is too high for your alliance. All I can say is welcome to realty.
Whining... this is something that you have learned recently and wanted to use it badly..... discussing a subject related to AW rating system, if you think that is whining... then yes I am whining, if tier 3 fights will have 10+ million alliances then what will tier 1,2 will have, where are those 2000+ rating alliances will go .... we have achieved the rating and tier by winning and losing wars ... nothing wrong in it but , a tier 12 alliance with rating 946 will have a match up with 12+ million alliance. I don’t see your point of being in wrong tier and by saying this tier 3 is too high for my alliance.... I will accept this fact if you can prove .... what tier we should have as per our AW rating.
You are complaining about how unfair it is that you are facing 10 million rated alliances in tier 3. We face similar or higher rated alliances in tiers 6 through 9. You have no grounds for complaint.
The reason why people keep describing your complaints as whining is because you keep saying you earned your rating, but you don't think anyone else has. If you face an alliance with a 1400 war rating, that is the rating they earned from wins and losses. Their alliance rating has nothing to do with the war rating they earned, and has no bearing on whether the match is fair or not.
If you don't want people to tell you what war rating you "should" have based on your alliance rating, you have to stop claiming that alliances with higher alliance rating are "unfair" match ups. You're suggesting that their alliance rating means they should not be matched against you, in effect saying you should be the judge of what tier they should be in based on their alliance rating. If you don't want people to judge where you should be based on your alliance rating, you have to stop judging your competition in exactly the same way.
It is also possible for an alliance that doesn't want to work hard at war but still wants easy rewards to explicitly work hard at one war and win, then match up again and deliberately lose that war, keeping a 50/50 record and basically staying in an easy tier. They get rewards for winning and losing, they don't have to work very hard when they fight seriously at all, and 50% of the alliances that face them get easy wins and the other 50% get smashed. That is still entirely fair, even though their war rating doesn't technically match their *ability* to win wars. War rating doesn't measure the ability to win. It measures the likelihood of winning.
Other side is people are getting matched with stronger alliances in every tier, irrespect of tier 3 or tier 12 , the 10+ million alliances are in each tier , so a 5 million alliance are getting matched with 10 million alliance in tier 12 , because their rating matched... then this system is only considering the AW ratings and I was pointing out to the other aspects of the system that can be considered, but people start shouting on longer match time and I didn’t get to know what is the cause of the longer match time.
Does anyone thought about that why in every tier they got matched with an strong alliance. Do we have enough data on these match ups so that we can find or understand the issue or cause.
1. Cause for the long wait time for match up - that’s what I was asking
2. 10 million alliance are in each tier ... doesn’t prove the point of being you in the tier you belongs.
3. Win or lose doesn’t add anything in the discussion so I was not talking about winning wanted to know how we are getting matched up ... which is only based on the AW rating.
4. Right or wrong only be proven when we have enough data to analyze so making an statement nothing is wrong with the system won’t add anything.
5. People in low tier with high rating will be matched with strong alliances, we have an example in this thread.
My only point is if you can add any informational comment please add. Just by saying will not help. Thanks
Honestly, I don't know if this is a language barrier thing or it is simply a mindset thing, but I will try one last time. We know alliances are matched up by war rating (this has changed over time, but this is the current system and it has been the system for most of the time in the past). War rating is set based on wins and losses. We know all of this with certainty because we can see the system in action. We can see that matches are with alliances with similar war rating. And we can literally see with every single war how the game adjusts our war rating up or down based on wins and losses.
War rating in effect measures our ability to win. Two alliances with similar war rating are considered to have similar strength, because they have similar ability to win. So they are matched against each other. If there are discrepancies, the system automatically adjusts those discrepancies out: an alliance that is stronger than all other alliances of similar war rating and wins all the time keeps getting their war rating increased, until they have a much higher war rating and are being matched against stronger alliances. This keeps occurring until they start to lose, and then the system converges on a war rating that roughly causes the alliance to win and lose about half the time.
You seem unwilling to acknowledge that war rating is the true measure of strength in alliance war, and alliance rating is not. You seem focused on the notion that war rating is somehow "wrong" because it doesn't match your expectations for alliance rating and keep wondering why. No one can answer that question, because your assumption that alliance rating is a better measure of alliance war strength than war rating is simply false. And this isn't just some weird Kabam invention: there are lots of places where competitions are based on a rating system. In all of them, a similar system for creating and then auto-adjusting ratings based on win/loss record are used. Probably the most widespread of those is the ELO system for chess competitions, where chess players are given a rating based on their ability to beat players of similar or higher rating. Chess players are not handicapped based on age or experience or anything else. They are only judged based on their ability to win. All other "advantages" are completely ignored for competitive purposes.
I specifically quoted you above because it appears you do not understand what anyone is saying. For example, you immediately dismissed someone discussing how win/loss record affects rating by saying "Win or lose doesn’t add anything in the discussion so I was not talking about winning wanted to know how we are getting matched up" but your win/loss record is how you ultimately get matched up - through war rating. If you cannot get past the mental block you appear to have there, no one can help you.
I also don't know, and I suspect no one else knows, what "evidence" you are asking for. We can see how wins and losses (and ties) affect our rating. This is obvious to the point of being non-debatable. We can see how we are matched: currently by war rating. Your own posts consistently show that this is how your alliance is being matched also. I literally have no idea what sort of data you are asking for, or what would satisfy you.
@Xthea9
I’m actually at loss what more is there to articulate (short of common sense instead of empirical evidence) on this issue. You may disagree with other folks views on the matter that you raised but that doesn’t mean the opinions provided are erroneous or as good as it gets. Like @DNA3000 pointed out, it could simply be a mind-set issue.
What you’re trying to propogate is that a war is only fair if your opponent is like-for-like, (war rating AND alliance rating wise) as yours. Any other perimeter is therefore deemed ‘unfair’. Well, for one I’d like to see if you can actually start the ball rolling by compiling a list of past 30 war results you deemed ‘unfair’ in your favor. And proceed to what is deemed unfair against you. Logic and common sense will dictate your possible win-lost ratio will be around the region of 40%-60%, 50%-50%, or at worse case 30%-70%. You should take a hard look at yourself if it’s 20%-80% because clearly your opponent is doing something right that your alliance is not.
Why me ... why are you pointing out to me , there are people who are saying that they have been matched with stronger alliances, why I have become the whining person, when I am the one who wants to know more and asking for those alliances who are actually strong and are matched with weak alliances, why they are not saying anything on this .... read the post , if not then I will post a pic for you.
If you *literally* are asking why high alliance rating alliances aren't coming onto the forums to complain about being matched against much lower rated alliances, the answer is: most don't consider it noteworthy, and on the very rare cases when they do point it out someone knowledgeable explains how the match making system works and that satisfies them.
I keep trying to explain this to you, but you don't seem to be willing or able to accept it. A very high alliance rating alliance that gets matched against a low rated alliance won't generally consider that noteworthy. And that is because when they get matched against low rated alliances, they tend to win only half the time. If they are only winning half the time against those alliances, why would they consider it worth coming onto the forums to complain about?
You believe something to be true that is not true. You believe there are high rating alliances hovering around at very low war rating consistently smashing up low rated alliances and winning all of the time. That is not happening. If a high alliance rating alliance has a very low war rating, then either a) they are a brand new alliance and will quickly increase their war rating until they leave the low tiers or b) they aren't very good performers in alliance war and are only winning about half the time. In neither of those cases will anyone from those alliances come onto the forums to complain about the situation, or even mention it as if it was something interesting.
1. For me strength of the alliance is more important - I measured the alliance strength by his alliance rating. ( some will say prestige, but I am not sure how this works) so I we go by the basics.
2. Alliance base region - location is also important ( time zone will also plays a role)
3. AW rating - this will be last and least option to consider a match.
Suppose if match making only considered the alliance rating, and you are getting matched with equally strong alliances, win or lose just add few points in your rating which only tells that how your alliance is doing, it will not project your real strength. And to monitor growth you have to consider your strength.
Currently you have seen my alliance isn’t strong but my rating are high which doesn’t project my alliance strength.
So how this AW match making system is correct and I am wrong. ( now don’t say long wait time , that’s ridiculous, did kabam said officially that it’s takes long wait time ) if we have evidence of this( @DNA3000 I was referring to this evidence ) to prove matching with alliance rating takes longer time ( please don’t say we have seen this in past , we know war was taking time to matched but reason was unknown) . I don’t have anything to say but to accept the fact that the AW system will is broken and it’s not correct.
