I know it is not balanced, but with a strong team, I am doing better in the arena, events and heroic raids... Old Ben was one of the strongest tanks accessible and I will need him for Luke.
Luminara was one of my first 7* farmed from the store with no very big effort.
Thank you for your answer.

I understand that and I didn't mean to sound like I was criticizing. But since the post was about GAC matchups, I was pointing this out as an issue.

I understand that some of those characters are easily reachable, but I was trying to say that if you can gear that high, other characters/teams should be just as easily accessible. It's probably a little trickier for new players now, as when I was at your point g11 and 12 didn't even exist.

But another suggestion I can make is, having a more rounded roster will help in all those areas you mentioned as well. Yes, you see that you increase effectiveness with more gear, but at a certain point, you'll want the most bang for your buck. Bastila Jedi is not really a raid team. If you farm teams to specifically do well in certain phases of the raids, then provided you have the mods, you can probably do more damage at lower gear than your current team. Likewise, events as a whole sometimes benefit from specific teams. Arena rank can always be improved with good team comps and mods (and don't neglect ships! Ship arena is usually more low key and easier to place at the top).

I understand, for sure in the future, my arena team characters will go into specific teams, once I will have the others... Old Ben will be replaced by "young" Ben :), Bastila by Padme and so on...
Thanks again.

I still feel that gls need a weighting score in matchmaking, not complaining, much, this round my slkr vs Rey, slkr and jml...but I have more gp than him.. sigh

We hear this a lot, but have a look at this:

That’s almost exactly 300K GP for the SLKR requirements, plus the 50K for SLKR himself.

How much more of a GP weighting do they need?

I’m 6.2 mil with slkr, my first round opponent this time is 6.0mil, with slkr, jml and Rey. On paper I win by pure top 80 gp, in reality I’m boned.

By weighting I mean an activated gl needs to be a separate part of the mm, perhaps division/top 80 as stage one of mm, then stage two number of gls and then match based on 1/2/3/4 at the minute. Maybe. I’m not complaining as such, I’m just interested in a ‘better’ system.

As is for my match, I’ve just posted my strongest defence possible and left it at that. Better than a dirty/weak protest, but as there’s not much point me doing anything major I’ll just try and nick a few banners here and there.

Instead of keeping advocating for different weighting of GLs, people should be more careful about what zetas they apply and more importantly, how many characters they unnecessarily "over-relic".

If your top 80 outside of your 1 GL makes up for the GP requirements of another two, your poured way too many resources in some lower tier characters from the point of view of matchmaking and it's questionable if there would even be a wide selection pool of players with only one GL and similar GP to match you with. You should definitely not get easier matches for investing in other teams while placing GLs on the wait list.

@RandomSithLord im one toon away from my second gl, hence why my go is 6.1mil I’ve also been playing since early 2017, there’s a lot of now useless toons that weren’t at the time.

I haven’t asked for an easier match, I’m just commenting on a wish for a ‘better’ mm system.

As DarjeloSalas pointed out, this is almost 300k GP worth of prerequisites for SLKR...

That results in one top notch squad and 8 over-geared / over-relic'd toons that you have to find uses for.

That's a pretty darn hefty weighting.
