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.
As of my last matchup I was matched against players with all 8 defensive slots with higher power players and he was able to have enough power to still beat all 8 of mine. Making my roster unequally matched which has a 2.3million gp while as previously said in other comments as well average 100k to 150k go over mine
A. The game is matching full rosters - not just 2 x (6 to 11 teams). Players, who developed a stronger rosters will then have an advantage, which is great in my oppinion. Let them benefit from their effort/skill.
B. I have a hard time believing, that your opponent had 150k more GP than you. All matche-ups, I've seen, have been pretty equal GP-wise. If you're trying to say, that your oponents have more character GP than you, but less ship GP, then I'm glad you agree with me, that including ship GP, when fleets are excluded from battle, is a bit silly.
