While there is some understandable frustration in your general complaint from a certain point of view, what strikes me about this is that someone in Division 9 even has any relic characters at all. G11 is where I feel some of the top people in that division should be. I feel like a Division 9 player with relic teams can't have much roster depth and would be extremely top heavy. I've seen plenty of people even in Division 1 whose gear has outpaced their ability to farm good mods. I can only imagine how much this problem would be exacerbated in Division 9.
When I started in GAC I wanted to focus on what would make me better there as well as compete in Squad Arena. Isn't that how you should play? I haven't seen a team in my Squad without at least some relics in months. So why wouldn't you expect someone trying to do well by focusing on getting a solid squad for arena and then for GAC? I haven't faced an opponent without relics in GAC in 3 seasons. I am not saying I should be the best in my division, but it seems like those of us that have done a lot more by the setup the game has given us (standard 3 teams O and 3 D plus ships) should not be finishing lower than teams that would have 0 chance to win playing us.
As far as having good mods, if you don't see how someone could have good mods on a few good teams in Div 11, then how would someone have good mods for 80 G5-G11 characters? That is another reason to focus on getting fewer well geared teams - you need less good mods for them.
There are more ways to play the game. Your strategy is not the only one available. Different types of rosters/teams excel in different game modes.
The purpose of matching players also by matchmaking GP instead of matching by division and league only is to create more even matches. I would prefer those even matches any day - even if it means that sometimes the top ranking players aren't necessarily the players with the strongest rosters. I'd rather have 12 relatively even matches in a season than have 12 matches where the outcome is predictable.
I would agree with that to a point - It wouldn't be any fun to kill all of your opponents. But at the same time there should not be higher reward for getting to duck all the opponents that would crush you.
