What was the criteria used for determining what servers to merge with who?

By logic merge happens between servers with in same time zone and with not too much of an time gap, so it wont be month old merged with year old. And merge happens when devs decide its needed . Rest is our speculation. But of course older servers in merge mostly has the strong ones along, so not so older servers will need to adapt to new striker people.

Most of the Low active player-servers receive with-in game poll, which they will vote, whenever they want to receive an a merge. Well we don't know if, the results are manipulated or not...
And yes the merge is 99% unfair of all merges and games especialy if you merge old->new ones. Or merging wallet server with any other ^^.
Even we received some smashing players, but for now we are ok. Yes the competition raised, but thats normal in any game. And i should include the competion is mostly from our main players which saved alot of resources and/or donated some diamonds with the go.

Should i say that, Shade, from our server do 100b per hit and WB literaly ends in 3~5 sec ?
