Division 1 Split
Can we get some traction on this or even a response? 4.5-8 million is a stupid, stupid big gap of gp. We have seen the numbers recently, and way too many players are in Div1 now compared to the others...

Honestly probably multiple stages/points of information. Brackets are ties to rewards so add new ones means new rewards structure also.
It's not just about how many are there, but also making a new system that doesnt isolate any particular group too much and swing us towards the other problem when some group faces the same people repeatedly.
There is also some discussion that needs to be around the "why".... many of these players do not face each other at all due to matchmaking.
I'm sure there are other points they discuss too.
I mean there's no reason they should diminish what other divisions receive. Add ones with slightly better rewards stashes. The "why" is there is too large a gap for top 80 to compute and effectively matchmake after 5 or so million GP. Another "why" would be so people past 6 million aren't ignoring some relic toons. Expanding the layout for super high GP players would be nice.
Adding rewards is never "simple", especially when adding only to the top end.
I agree, but there is more to the situation then just those points. I would also imagine that saying matchmaking doesnt work after X would probably needs to be validated on their side (another thing that needs analytic run on)
Both MM and GAC divisions have been on the radar for a bit, but the analytics side has been backed up for multiple reasons and things like this are just lower on the list than other things that need to be looked at.
If this is not the data they are looking for, what's the data they are looking for? Their only statement on the topic so far confirms this is the data they are looking for.
They will need to run the data on their end, and I'm sure they will look at more than just that data set there as there are many factors involved in a change like this.
I don't mean to try and dumb it down, and yes my "after X gp" is more of an assumption, but rosters that deep have way more than 80 useful toons, I do know that.
The rewards ofc will be a hot button topic, but the gear crunch is moving quickly to relic and g12+ as opposed to stun guns. GAC rewards being upped for 2-3 more divisions wouldn't change a ton if they scale it similarly.
That said, what needs to happen for them to parse through this data? Is there anyway to make this known? I know there's more than two people that care about this, and in another few months these percentages will be getting even further out of hand. This may not be the #1 issue, but we shouldn't wait to put this in their crosshairs.
Each of these points is not a simple thing and all has (or would need) data to define what changes would need to be made.
Everything they do is a balancing act, with new content and updates to the game and game modes. They are aware, and that will take the time it takes.
