Clearly they think matchmaking is working as intended....

I'm 100% free to play 4mill gp, 2.2 in squad. 2k or so rank in aurodium league, 1st I
Fleet arena and top 100 in squad, 190mill gp guild. with 1 g13, with dr, revan, no malak. No grevious team worth anything yet, no maxed out geos yet, no padme team yet. in this 1st round ga, I faced a 200k gp higher opponent, who had 7 g13s, malak maxed, gg maxed g13, full g12 padme team, his mods are clearly better bc 95% of the time speed is the only stat that matters and he had at least 10 toons at 125plus speed. how is this a fair match making?

I put both revans on d knowing he put his on d, hoping he couldn't clear both of mine, he of course cleared me fully. And I couldn't clear him, I wasnt beating that #1 dr team with anything I had.

I thought jkr was the start of the death of this game, and that still may be correct, but g13 and how easy it is to obtain for pay to win players is the catalyst to the death.

This game needs people like me to keep playing, the middle class free to play, that sits between 2.5 and 4.5 mill gp, fills in guilds, gives pay to win people something to beat, helps through progression for growing guilds, etc., and up until g13 being introduced that group had fighting chances either with good strats, squad optimization, etc. The fact that my opponent has 7 to my 1 g13, and how monumental it is for only like 600gp increase, if that is a linear growth, which I believe it wont be, means he will have 49 g13 to my 7, that's 10 squads of g13 to my 1.5 squads. Congrats , the classes are so separated now and will continue to diverge so much that I dont see how I, aka the middle class, can stand any chance or even have fun anymore with that type of match making.

Edit: dont give me they are working on it speech, if they are working on it, put it on a test server or give everyone equal rewards, their "working on it" is costing people progression and annoying lots of people along the way, you dont test something so under developed in production environments, thats how you lose integrity and player base.
