I think the OP is expressing a very common sentiment. There a lot of people out there with dead weight in their roster and struggling in Grand Arena against more efficient players. Until Grand Arena arrived, it didn't matter that much how you farmed or geared your 10th - 20th characters, and now suddenly (in relative terms) it is critical whether you took Farmboy Luke all the way to Gear 12 to unlock CLS, or did it with just the bare minimum.
It mattered in TW the same way it matters i GA. Many players just didn't realize it until now, where the impact of their fluff hurt themselves and not 'just' the guild.
It's a flaw in a matching system based on GP. I don't know if there is a better system, but blaming it purely on 'choices' obscures the fact that most of these choices were made before GA was a thing.
I don't see it as a flaw. I see it as a strength, that players, who developed their roster to be strong in TW and GA also benefit from it in GA and not only in TW.
