GA galactic power matchup

Use a formula based on top characters that would be used on tw not what my 170th would be

The key about GA is it takes your skill and choices as a player as a whole and either rewards or punishes the player based on skill and choices. Machups based on gp is the best and easiest way to showcase that. If I chose to not pursue jkr or darth revan and instead focused on droids and jawas then that's on me not on my opponent of equal gp who made smarter choices. As for long term players having a disadvantage against newer players, that is also on the individual player....a player of 8 months shouldn't have the same gp as a 3 year player to begin with. If they do then the 3 year player was doing nothing but tread water for 2 yrs 4 months

Ok but what about when those choices such as Darth Revan etc were not an option and only Jawa could help you get mods. Every argument I have seen here is based on by someone who never played the game day one. I unlocked both jkr and dr day one. Yet my opponent may never have had to gear random current useless characters at the time to unlock palpatine yoda or han. Waiting for your counter point

Also you miss the point where they spent 2500$ on g12+ to be at my gp which is a mega whale so don’t act like farming is the issue here

Please fix your formula. My opponent has 2.8 character gp same as me. Yet they have many level 1 gear 1 day 1 characters I have g10 level 85.(sidious, dooku, etc) that you had to gear and level late 2015. The current formula penalizes day one players. Why use a formula that penalizes your longest/most loyal customers?

That g10 Sidious helped you progress back then. Early on his healing immunity could be a pain in arena. He helped you score high in hAAT p2. I don't see how this is a penalty.

Payers have an advantage, yes. What's the problem?

It was answered many times - they could start with GP as baseline and then calculate global GA rating based on player's performance. And split rewards in two pieces - for matches won and for global position (so better players will get better rewards). Some sort of PvP ladder is used basically in any PvP game worth mentioning, it's nothing new.

I’ve got a pretty focused roster — I will be going up against someone with a blistering fast DRevan and Revan. Fortunately he stands no chance because I can outmatch him from team 3 to 16 (8 on attack and 8 on defence).
If you are a long term player why haven’t you focused on having at least 4 strong (G12+) Darkside teams and 4 strong (G12+) Lightside Teams? (Plus your Arena and Fleet teams).
How do you get maximum points in TBattles without that?

You SHOULD be found out in GA (at your stage) if you can’t deploy G12 NSisters, Triumverate, Imperial Troopers, Bossk BHs, Phoenix, CLS, R1 and Revan Jedi, JTR. You would need these for your Guild in TB/TW assuming you are a team player.

(I’m FTP and 16 months old account and the above has been my main goal since starting —> TB/TW + Arena)

Also “old teams” don’t equal bad in GA!

• Wedge, Biggs, STH
  
• zMaul, zSavage, STrooper
  
• zQGJ, JKA, Ahsoka
  
• GK, Zarriss, Aayla
  

etc....

I really don't see why everyone is attacking this statement. If you have a broad roster you're doomed in GA and with TB, TW and arena with its over and over again shifting metas it's totally understandable why you have it as a long term player.
You played the game, brought lots of (for their time) needed characters to the (for their time) maximum and nowadays they are useless most of the time and nothing but dead weight to your GP. That's not making bad decisions and it's clearly not the failure of the player. Introducing a match system based on raw GP, that's a failure. A big one. GP comparison is going the easy way, the lazy one, the cheap one. They could have made a better system for sure but this would cost time and money so it's probably never going to happen.
So is it the failure of the players playing for years and than getting a system that would punish them for their earlier decisions? No, of course not. How could they know. Saying something else is absolutely illogical as we can't predict the future. There's only one to blame for, you know who.
