3vs3 GAC really?
So CG moved the crystal income to GAC making it the most important area of the game, and now they’re forcing us to play a stupid mode they invented just to give players something different a lot of ti...

Your analogy's purpose was that 3v3 is something we would have no way of planning for that is suddenly being sprung on us.
Sorry for the confusion, but this was not my intention with the analogy.
As you've said, we've played 3v3 before and can plan for it. I'm ok with playing 3v3, I don't like it that much, but I don't despise it once we get going.
My analogy was all about the league/division system we have now. I believe in the system and to make it work you need to finely hone the divisional balance.
So we've been playing for a few months now and have a skill rating bases on our 5v5 performances. Now, we're going to play comparable players (5v5) in 3v3. This will mix up the skill ratings and then we'll go back to 5v5.....
If they want to start again with skill points for 3v3 I wouldn't like it but fine. However to continue into 3v3 using our 5v5 skill points rating, totally mess it up, then go back to 3v3 totally devalues the system we've been working hard to form.
My analogy was purely based on the league system.
The football league formed divisions using 11 a side (11 v 11) matches. Over time teams went up and down divisions until they were in divisions with other teams of a comparable skill level.
Then one day the Football league said 'hey this season we're going to play 5 a side (5v5) not 11 a side. Comparable skill level then goes right out the window.
This would be plain daft in my opinion and that was my analogy.
At least with 3 ship fleets on defence that will be a constant from now on. Where as we'll be swapping from 3v3 to 5v5 and eternally upset the league/division/skill rating balance.
