The awful matching system is the reason I don't care about UvU CTA anymore past the crowns and the occasional male 6* reward. A 6-member union can be torn apart by a top-ranking union only so many times before concluding that it isn't worth the time and effort. It would be wondeful to be matched more evenly, but then that's what happened in Fortress Frenzy and many people complained about the outcome.
At least there's the TvT version of CTA; that one is fun for us more often than not.
About UVU and TVT...
TVT matchmaking is horrible cause it consider the levels of the players. UVU is much better, cause it throws you versus a guild on 'your list'. Example: If you have 9w 4L, it will throw you against a union on this list. The first days are troublesome cause the lists are all mixed and I think the points matter to untight.
And about the stress the event do, everyone is right. It's odd fight afks and teams much more powerfull than ours. If you dropp on rank, you catch afk shoot. If you aproaches top50, you are smashed like a bug.
You are right about the rewards. I think the platinum card should be given to the top50, and the medal to the top100. The full 7 for top100-200. Talking about my union, we are receiving a 7 or a 6+4 at the end.

My Main Problem With TvT Is That I Can Never Seem To Actually Join A Match. I Have Enough Trouble Keeping Track Of Time For UvU; And If I'm Late By 5 Minutes In UvU, I Can Still Join The Match. For TvT, On The Other Hand, I Have To Be On Three-Four Hours Before The Match So That I Can Join The Gang My Union Members Are In, Otherwise It Fills And I'm Left Joining A Team Of Afkers. And If I'm On Too Early, The Gang Hasn't Been Made Yet, And By The Time I Realize It's Been Made, It's Already Full. And They Can't Really Make Teams 20 People Big Because Not Everyone Joins The Team In Their Union And Gathering 20 People Is Decent Amount Of Work; And It'd End Up Turning Into The Same Situation As UvU, With Matches Being 20v9 Except It's Because You Only Have 9 People And Not Because 11 People Are Afk.
My Biggest Problem With UvU's Matching System Is That It Bases Matches Off Of Your Record. Your "Rank" Means Absolutely Nothing To The Game. And It Turns Into Situations Where, Yeah Your Record On The First Day Is 2-0, But That's Because You Got Two Afk Unions. So The Third Match Is Against Another Union That Has A 2-0 Record, Except They're Rank 30 And You're Rank 150. You Got A 2-0 Record With 5 People Active, They Got The Same Record With 20 Active, And Actually Fought For It. You Did Not. Now They're Going To Summon Baha 10 Seconds Into The Match And Destroy All Your Bases Within 15 Seconds, And You Haven't Even Charged Orland Yet.
The Only Thing I Want Is For The Match System To Actually Base The Matches Off Of What Your Union's Current Rank Is. i.e. If We're Rank 150, Put Us Up Against The Rank 140 Union. Not Against The Rank 2 Union Because They Have The Same Record.
As For Fortress Frenzy; That Event Was Stupid v: It Was UvU With More Bases, Except You Weren't Allowed To Attack More Than Twice. And Without The Ability To Summon. It's Matchmaking System Was Exactly What I Want For UvU. But I'm At A Loss For The Reason Why They Didn't Just... ya know... implement it into uvu.
The only event where the game would douche out and freeze on loading without having the decency to boot you to the starting screen in the clutch final few minutes of a match and you know for a fact that it would take longer to restart and load up Ishtaria than it would for the game to actually get it's crap together.

The problem with FF matchmaking is that it is actually unfair. Let's have an example with 4 unions having similar 2W 0L condition:
A: usually rank 10, with 20/20 members B: usually rank 8, with 20/20 members C: usually rank 120, with 16/20 members D: usually rank 124, with 17/20 members
In our current matchmaking, it is fair game. A can fight either of the three, etc. In FF's matchmaking, the match will always be A vs B, C vs D (because of union rank (from raid) and member counts).
Let's say that the fairest match happened, with A vs B resulting in A winning, and C and D resulting in C winning.
Now if this is what happened, in our current matchmaking the next bracket fight will be
A (3W 0L) vs C (3W 0L) B (2W 1L) vs D (2W 1L)
C and D will be squashed. But then the rank will stabilize: A will be the highest, D the lowest, B and C will compete on who will have higher rank by point counts.
In Fortress Frenzy matchmaking, however, next match A won't fight C and B won't fight D. A and B will fight enemies around their relative power as union, same with C and D. As a result, A and B will stay in same place relatively, with a chance to fall off their rank, while C and D actually have higher chance to get higher rank than A and B whenever the latter screwed up. If the current trend holding up, the most likely outcome for the four unions will be:
1st: A 2nd: C 3rd: B 4th: D
Now you might say the fight is fairer. Yes. But the rank? For B, this is really unfair because C, which is clearly weaker, can get higher rank just by the virtue of "being weaker". This is why people hate Fortress Frenzy matchmaking so much.

Good Job To Everyone Who Had To SUFFER Through This Damned Event v: See Ya'll At The Rabbit Romp. (except... not. cause that isn't a multiplayer type of event... so.)
And Then There Was That One Guy Whose Leader Was Hansel. I Don't Think He Took A Base, Though o:
That Was The Most Active Fight We Had All Week, And I WAS AT WORK. D: I Had To Stay On Support In The Castle Until Nearly 8 Minutes Were Left. Was Still Fun Though *^* Very Good Match, "Sylphid Army" (b'-')b

Yes, yes... attendance problems, the Hansel guy was out during the entire event and the others forgot to request the front. Thats the stressing part of Uvu >< #125 was a pretty fair position for us on the end.
