@Darjelo I agree with your sentiment. I don't get bent out of shape over a 1M GP difference either, and I've been able to out-strategize opponents with slightly bigger rosters when I've taken the time to care (lately, hardly ever).
To that end, this post isn't very relevant to myself anymore but I still stand by the complaint. For the players with lower GP and/or few GL (especially players who are 100% free to play) this event is still an utter nightmare more often than it is fun just because the matchmaking is... well... absurd.
To that end, just because the post isn't all that relevant for me any more doesn't mean I'm going to bury my head in the sand like many of the higher players. This IS still an issue that should be addressed by CG whether they like it or not!
