What's the problem exactly?

I'll type nice and slow, so you'll understand...
From the GAC match-up rework post from Crumb.... "they’ll be matched up against someone who looks more like them."

Now look at the bolded from the post you quoted. I'll wait. You'll see it eventually.

I wouldn't consider having the two characters that have been meta for the past 6+ months, while others have neither to be" looking like them. "

I disagree with your fundamental complaint that the characters should be the same or similar. But even we accept that as a flaw, how does it make it worse than it was before? The matchmaking process has never factored that in. The only change we have identified is that it previously counted your entire character GP, and now it only counts the GP of the top X number of toons. If you want to argue it's worse, it has to be based around that change. I'd argue that they need to expand that number slightly (I'd suggest diminishing returns as you go past X), but I still can't see how this is worse.

First off, the fact that you disagree with what CG has clearly stated the intent of the matchmaking GAC rework was to accomplish is irrelevant.

And no one has indentified anything. There are a few theories that don't seem consistent when applied across the larger number of cases.

To this point, CG has maintained radio silence as to what the issue is....or if they even think there is one.

If you can't see how 2 of 8 having both Revans while 2 others in the same group, competing for the same rewards, have neither, doesn't seem to be fair match-up, or worse than previous iterations of GA, I really can't help you.
