Clash of Clans is still making boatloads of cash daily, they have NOT seen a significant drop in their revenue. (specifically from people dropping the game because of war MM) Seeing as they have not, they will not put their small team of devs on rebuilding the warMM system from the ground up. This will take a very long time, as "they have a small team". It just doesn't make sense for them, when they sit in their boardroom meetings and discuss the issues/future of the game. I can only see them denying it affects revenue, and gratefully setting aside the war MM issue.
Honestly, it looks as if they did absolutely nothing with this war mm update, mismatches are still evident, massively so. I would not be surprised if they just did nothing, but mentioned they 'tweaked' the MM. which wouldn't be a lie if they went and changed something small which didn't have an effect on their engineered bases, who provide revenue.
I honestly think that right now there are so many engineers, and so many more to come, that the system will probably just continue as is. They have stated they don't want to take away the engineering advantage. We know their revenue is still high, these two facts tell us verbatim that they are not going to be doing anything drastic to what is currently occuring within war in Clash of Clans.
I think once we all realise this, we need to make one of two choices:
1) accept, this is it, they are NOT going to nuke engineering, we need to adapt (sounds like Dec 2015 right?) which is what most have done by building their own engineered bases.
2) decide enough is enough, stop warring but still play the game (and spend money) or quit entirely (which most won't do, supercell KNOW this).
If you were Supercell and you were thinking about these people wanting the war matchmaking system changed... what would you do, knowing what I've said above? I'm sure if you were sitting cosily in Finland, earning big bucks, you'd rather put your 'small' team of devs to work on future updates which make them more money. Rather than letting them spend an age fixing something that won't make them boatloads of cash in the near future. (even though it might save their game in the long run). We've all seen that a lot of what SC do aren't for the best of the game in the long run, this is no exception.
