I am new to forum like i stated so i couldnt find where to qutoe a certain part of your message so, sorry about not doing that.

I don't think there is that option. It's all or nothing. It certainly isn't the easiest forum to use.

About 8-8.5 players it has been twice up until now while i was in carbonite so, sadly those matches are long gone in the match history. I assume 6-6.5 is scary enough for someone like me.

Ok, well that's more pertinent and less misleading. When you were in 'carbonite' is a finished thing. So you've been very liberal with your use of the present perfect there. Although not inaccurate, the nuance is misleading. You're suggesting it's a thing happening.

However, the truth is possibly more worrying. That some 8 million plus accounts have reached rock bottom, and as you rightly pointed out ruining the experience for new players.

You're new to the GAC and your first game is vs an 8 million plus account............well that's just wrong. That needs to be dealt with.

1- The general problem with geos is not sever as it seems, when i am sure that there is no win in stiation i tend to try if i can find a team to beat geos. Thats the reason for few throws in geo matches.

How about I change what you wrote to this: "The general problem with GP is not sever as it seems, when i am sure that there is no win in stiation i tend to try if i can find a team to beat higher GP players. Thats the reason for few throws in GP mismatches."

How would you form an argument that the 2 situations are different? I'm sure in your head they are very different. The stats suggest they aren't, and arguing they aren't would be difficult.

2- About beating 5 million accounts fair and square, i do not agree on this. They tend to missplay a lot. I do not even consider them fun. since you looked at my match history i bet you saw their defences, it seems like they placed defences at level 85 once and never bothered again, and didnt even bother to attack with their offensive teams, just getting few matches and not playing rest. I wouldnt call it fair.

Well firstly their defences were set at the earliest May? That's about when the new 'set defences' system came into place. So any defences before that would have been erased. So basically, the defences you faced are their current or near current defences.

"They tend to missplay a lot."

Yes they do. This is their ability and hence why you're facing them. They're a different challenge to a 2 million account that has a better understanding of the game. However, they're a challenge.

These guys need to be taken into account and not just left out in the dry because they misplay and don't understand the game very well.

If you match these guys by GP they'd either lose every game or be stuck in a very small pool with similar players. Neither of those is an improvement on the current system.

Any improvements you think are good, needs to take all players into account. Especially these guys, who deserve to get wins too and a fun time too.

Personally, I really wouldn't want to go back to playing by GP again. I definitely don't think it would be productive to go back to the time where players could go 12/0 11/1 per season again either.

Those 8 million GP games you had are a big worry for me though. Something definitely needs to be done about sandbagging and 'now and again' players.

However, looking at your overall experience. There's very little to worry me. You'll most likely get knocked down a bit this week, but that's how it is.
