Default GvG Match Time

This is a request to reduce the amount of time it takes to get matches on a high rated guild. If you are a high ranked guild, it takes a very long time to get a match. For example, earlier today we played a rank 40 team. After the match, they got and won 3 matches before we got a second match (we were ~100 rating above the r40). It is ridiculous how long it takes.

The extreme delay is a major reason why so many high ranked guilds play so little. It is also one of the main reasons we pug/smurf -- we get matches regularly and still end up playing the same good teams (whether you are rank 3, 30, or 100 you will still play all of the other top 100 teams in a night generally speaking, so why wait so long?).

I realize low ranked teams don't like playing high ranked teams so much, but come on, who else is playing? Please consider reducing the wait. Thanks.

It takes even longer to try and get a match other than against Law if you're playing in Australian primetime...they've gone through three games and we're still not matched? gg.

I would inquire about what time you play or which timezone you live in, it really depends alot on that.

Yeah it takes us on average 20-30 mins to get a match, which then it is against a rank 5000-8000 ranked guild. Pitty its to hard to play in american or europe primetime without becoming an insomniac.

Yeah way harder on aussies think how long it takes u r20 guilds ect to get a match and then double it thats how long it takes say r500 aussie guild get a match. I also hope they do make all matches quicker i dnt care who we versed i would like to verse EW ect American guilds dnt realise how lucky they are getting to gvg lots guilds the best practise we Aussie guilds get is Law and they r a good guild just be better if we had more guilds.
