I’d recommend a system that looks more closely at specific rosters and teams that are massively advantageous.

E.g. thrawn, treya, palp etc etc.

Maybe putting characters into tiers and comparing gear levels and zetas would make the match-ups more balanced.

In my current event we have a guy who has 20-30 g12 powerful characters (CLS, JTR, Palp, Chewie, 3p0) and at the other end one guy who’s only g12 and zeta is Vader.

So, why should players, who developed a stronger roster (still with the same total GP as his opponents) only be matched with other strong opponents? Why shouldn't he instead benefit from having developed his roster well? Why should a player with a weaker roster (same GP) have an easier path to take first place than the player with the stronger roster and get the same rewards as him/her? How would that be even remotely fair and balanced? I suspect, that the algorithm actually makes sure to not pit all the strong players against each other. From what I've experienced each 'pod' of eight has had a good mix of strongly built and weakly built rosters.

Yes, including ship GP in the algorithm, when ships are not even used is silly. Apart from that using roster GP as the 'main' match-making parameter seems quite fair.

All depends on how long you’ve been playing though doesn’t it.

If you start new it’s easy to know which teams you should farm and which to avoid.

I have a lot of older teams that were meta or raid relevant but in today’s environment are cannon fodder.

Eg droids with jawa support, lando, teebo, jedi’s (Anakin, Aayla etc)

All of these characters are useless and thus I won’t gear them higher which means they ultimately do nothing but give me harder opponents by inflating my GP.

Personally I think only g10+ characters should be considered. Anything below that doesn’t actually help.
