WHY CAN'T WE GET MATCHED?
Restarting this Topic due to an increasing number of incidents where some Squads are not getting Matched instantly or within a reasonable wait time like 2 to 4 hours.
CASE IN POINT: Sons_of_Death, a Rebel Squad with mostly Prestige Level Players, using both Empire Only -or- Empire and Rebels (using Same Faction Option) Picks / Initiations, has recently seen multiple Wars with over 24 hours before a Match was made.
This extreme delay in Matching often results in problems in War due to the lack of War Party Members being available.
War Party Members sign-up / commit to being in War when they have time (like on the weekend). HOWEVER... due to the extreme delays these same War Party Members now often find they are in a War during a time when Jobs, and other "plans" like Vacation, prevent them from helping out in War as much as they would like.
The continued rise in the number of cases of Squads waiting to be Matched for extensive amount of times has led to War Apathy, where some Squad have stopped Warring (further aggravating the problem), and perhaps the rise of No-OP Wars which in part try to fix the Long War Matchmaking by flooding the War Servers with timed War Initiations in the hope of a Quick Match (which also adds to the problem by not making Squads Available except on certain days).
I don't have any solutions, but though I would restart the conversation to see what others think...

Death_Striker is looking for ALL Rebel Commanders
Sons_of_Death is looking for Level 8+ Rebel Commanders
