The problem isn't the league ranking/MM mechanisms they are using in GAC, it's that they have forced heavy participation in GAC and many players despise the mode. The only reason they are doing this is that they believe it will churn out more whales. It will also just spur some people to eventually quit.
Moving some crystal income to GAC wasn't a terrible idea. Punishing players as much as they do for a loss is. If they were truly concerned about the ability for more players to get more crystals, they would spread out crystal income across all the game modes. Heck make a new game mode that is PvE based and allow players to farm daily crystals through that. Right now players are being forced into a PvP mode and many just don't like PvP. They may be more interested in guild or PvE play.
It's the age old split of players who enjoy PvP more vs those who enjoy PvE/collaboration more. God this game could be so great and appeal to all sorts of players. It just doesn't.
