Decisive bonds is one of three scenarios:

1) A top-tier p2w carrying lower bp group/server members (400K+)

2) Two fairly strong players together (250K+)

3) New server/Low bp players

There is absolutely no match making or server range to aid anyone new. In my opinion, it's just a giant waste of time until your at least 200K. (and going up with new, cheaper power systems.)

To be fair, I've been doing it since release as a spender and the reward boxes really haven't made any impact. It's just for spenders to fight each other casually pretty much.
