A. You describe yourself as a very strategic player, but if your opponents (with same total roster GP) have 20 zetas and 25 g12 characters more than you, they apparently are more strategic minded than you.
B. Not farming hSTR until recently was a choice. Either a choice made by your guild to not work towards beating hSTR until recently, or a choice made by you to stay in the guild despite having no chance to farm hSTR. I'm sure, you (or your guild) had lots of good reasons to choose this, but nevertheless, it was a choice. You chose to not farm Traya and all that nice gear from hSTR.
C. Traya has several counters these days. Revan has a few.
D. I actually do think, that the match-making algorithm takes other things into account. I believe players with strong rosters are deliberately mixed with players of mediocre or weak rosters (with same total GP). I have no proof, but that's my experience so far.
D. isn't that the natural outcome of GP being the only basis of matchmaking and GP not being an accurate measure of a roster's strength?
