Their matching system isn't random nor based on activity I don't think, far too often there are a significant number of guild that we ended up battlling 3-8 times throughout the entire event, and it was not about being evenly matched, our rank was in the 110s there's was usually 50s, far too often even declaring right as the cycle begins we got matched with much higher ranked guilds most of the time. yes being in phoenix has a small pool of targets than wyveryn or lower but there has always been a disparity of the number of time you face the same guild considering the number of potential guilds in that range and the number of total wars fought, the repeat opponent rate is much higher than average. and of course their higher rank (in this event) usually meant higher active players  usually 75% of the time we couldn't compete, so it is not matching based on number of active players.

I've played every guild war and have noticed this pattern quite a bit. and time of day doesn't even seem to be a factor, more recently we've barely had back to back wars with the same guild unlike 2 war events ago where 4/5 wars in a single cycle we had the same guild and just pummelled them every time since we already knew their captains after the first war.
