Tried GAC 5v5 for the first time since getting my acct to level 85. about 490,000 GP and I was paired up with 3M GP+. I thought, maybe these are inactive accounts... But then I realized you have to actively sign in and then you have to actively attack me. Needless to say I lost every one and my ranking went down. Maybe that's a good thing, but wow, it will be a while before I make it out of Carbonite I guess.
One question I have after that experience though, does it reward more crystals to be top at carbonite than bottom of whatever the next tier is?
