Clarity on Win/Loss record in matchmaking?

I don't think the w/l records will be maintained between GA events and used for ranking purposes.

The reason - it will put all the good players vs good players and bad players vs bad players. This means the winning bad player (vs all bad players) will get better rewards than the losing good player (vs all good players). That doesn't seem fair to me. The best players should get better rewards for competing against other good players - however that reward system doesn't exist and would be too complicated to implement.

Odds are that your wins will be counted just like arena and fleet and node battle wins on your profile. However, those wins/losses will not be factors in match making for the reason stated above.

It needs to be somewhat random with a mix of good, medium, and bad players in every set of 8 in order for good players to get the best rewards. Otherwise, the good players (aka whales, krakens, who pay so we can play) will lose vs other good players and get less rewards than bad players winning against bad players. (All within their respected GP brackets.)

This mode seems to really weed out players with padded gp like myself. It’s the same in tw but this is just all on you.

What I’m really seeing is that players want to be competitive and that’s great. That’s what really drives pvp and drives parts of this game.

It’s expensive to have 7 teams in all fighting shape or it takes a lot of self control and resource management. That’s the whole point of this game.

I’m more of a pve-guy but happy for those players that really love pvp and want to take it to the next level.
