If you built up a 7 or 8 million GP roster - which is what you'd have if you were drawing 5 or 6 GL opponents - without a single GL of your own then that is entirely your fault.

Though frankly I agree with DarjeloSalas that your claim is a steaming pile of pudu.

That's not how GAC used to work. In the past the matchmaking was broken. You actual GP had NO relevance to who you got matched against. You can scream and yell all you want like a little ea sycophant, but you're wrong.

I don't know if it's been fixed yet. We'll see.

If you were running a multi-million GP roster without a single GL before this matchmaking change you would still have been screwed and it would still have been all your own fault.

And your claim is still a steaming pile of pudu.

OMG you are making me a CG apologist here. They said up front it would be whonky initially, and resolve itself over time as people battle, win and lose. Your roster makeup and abilities will all lead to you gravitating to people who will be very comparable on the whole over time.

But that will take time to sort out.

Which they said.

Before the changes were even released.

So what you're saying is it's my own fault for not plowing money into this game to get a GL?
Or i could have spent 2 years just farming 1?

What I am saying is that it's your fault for not being competent or consistent enough to get a GL.

It does not take 2 years to farm a GL even as F2P. That is another steaming pile of pudu.

It does however take focus, regular participation and a little planning. Areas where you are apparently lacking.

If you can farm and gear millions of GP in non-GLs then you can farm and gear 300k of GL prerequisites. It's a choice, this game is full of them and you are responsible for yours.

I don't mind facing people with 1 GL more than me at all but my entire bracket had 4-5 GL's when I have 2. I feel like I should be able to at least have a chance to win. I'm FTP and I'm going up against newer whales who don't have much fat to their roster because they can afford to just whale out on specific characters. My roster doesn't have a lot of fat either but over the years I have leveled up some toons that haven't panned out. I didn't have the luxury of leveling them all at once.

You will continue to fall until you hit a point where you can win about half your matches. Might take a few more GAC brackets to get there but once you do, your matches should be more reasonable.

I think a simpler solution is to make each bracket of carbonite, bronzium, chromium, aurodiam etc. and the 1 through 5's have a GP that is the ideal CG recommends that higher GP's can not infiltrate lower brackets but would allow skillful players of lower GP to punch up but if knocked down they go back down as long as their GP is not above the threshold net sort of speak.

GP isn't an accurate way of match making though. You have 2 guys at 3 million GP. One totally knows what they are doing and is very lean at 3 million. The other has no idea; no idea about mods, no idea about characters, no idea about how many teams they need, no idea about getting gear etc etc.

How much difference in GAC power could you possibly have at 3 million. 3 times as much?.... even more?

I think GLs are a big problem though. There shouldn't be such a massive step from the top legendary characters to the galactic legends. And with the more GLs added, the more it'll be a problem. At some point with GLs it'll become a paper,scissors,stone match like ships.

true but it's more consistent of not having completely lopsided matches. me a 3.2M player should not be facing a 5.5M player with 30 relics and 30 g12s and such. It's an issue when players are sandbagging their rating on purpose to go bully lower level players for more consistent 1st place rewards and just to smurf and troll on lower powered players.

Is this happening on a large scale though? I just don't see it. A player of 5.5 million would be far better off finishing 2nd - 4th every grand arena than sandbagging for a few wins.

I think far more likely is that there are players of 5.5 million not taking GAC seriously or rebelling against the system due to awards being removed from Arena.

I think a lot more of these lopsided GP GAC matches are won by the lower GP player, or are very close.

How about you post your ally code so we can see for ourselves?
