A huge problem with WW, to me, is the only thing they give me is a statement that they match opponents fairly and I'm just to believe it.

well they DID have numbers but the rank numbers were not continuous. they would end at 2900. which was really weird so soooo many people eventually ended up stuck at 2900 and people matched between 2700-2900 were just one huuuuuuuuuuuuuge division. but instead of realizing OH DUH! the problem was that rank numbers were not conintuous! OH DOH! maybe we should make them continuous or change the breaks between them or how they fluctuate......nope......they said.......ooo lets make 5 random divisions and cut all the payouts! Supposedly over 10 qualified adults, sat in a room for several months...and thats what they came up with. LOL! See it isnt far off when i said that all us players here at cashgamers.net could run each department of WW better than the people they have now (well PS has a good cookie managing them....but the rest of the departments...... LOL! )

Obviously players don't question this claim when they win games, it's when they start losing that they wonder have then been scammed all along--The answer to that is YES!

actually when i have won on their site...I notice that most of my winnings have come from players who should not have been matched with me in the first place. its hard because if i was fairmatched.....then all my tournaments will be open forever and there would be no one in my rank to play. but on the other hand WW is forcing me to become a bully against these people who shouldnt be matched with me at all.

The majority (if not all) other skill gaming sites have some kind of number or grade that players can readily see/access which gives credibility to a "fair-matching" system. WW has nothing like that in place so there is NO credibility to their matching system--What does it matter what "Division" you're placed in when you have no idea what skill level comprises that Division. Better still, you don't even know what the range of skill level is; Division 1 could be comprised of novices and players with more than 1000 games under their belt. And let's not forget about the slew of cheating...When you enter any tournament on WW you're believing that whatever WW does to match you with another opponent, is fair because they said so and that is it. A business can make all kinds of claims and promises, but if they really want their customers to believe in these promises/claims they have earn it with more that just a statement. A good example is the CarFax commercial--a couple is ready to purchase a used car and asks the sales associate to let them see the CarFax. The sales associate says he has something even better, a promise from the owner that the car is good. The couple assumes the sales associate is kidding but this sales guy asserts, "But it's a promise..." That's exactly the way I feel about WW's fair-matching system, it's just a bogus promise.

beautifully put TAO! thats exactly it but what is even worse about their fairness department is, is that they PUNISH you for not just believing their claims are credible. its like they think they can bully us, oppress us, discriminate against us, threaten to sue us, and whatever just because we are defending our RIGHTS as customers. for some people it works but for those of us with strength and INTEGRITY we will never be bullied in by them. thats why i was site banned, because they hated that they couldnt bully me into shutting up or stop questioning their false claims.
