GA points counts

I'm not suggesting that the 1 fleet battle should equal 6 squad battles, I'm equating 5 squads and 1 fleet vs 6 squads, so player A still needed 5 strong squads.

You're comparing conquering a fleet zone (one team) to conquering a zone with multiple teams. It makes perfect sense to me, that zones with more teams (defense slots) reward more banners when conquered.

A different example:
Player A wins 5 squad battles and zero fleet battles (no zones conquered).
Player B wins 1 fleet battle and 3 character battles (1 zone conquered).
All flawless wins.
Player A won more battles, but player B (with the stronger fleet and weaker characters) wins.

All in all it is a game, it has rules and you are scored according to those rules. If you want the rules changed so the scoring is done differently, that's fine, but it's really still just a personal preference than anything about being fair or anything like that. They dont want it to be about battles won, they want it to be about points won in the structure, which allows for more strategic game play and less ties.

I can win at scrabble by using less letters and even less words, by simply "playing the game" and using letters and locations more strategically than my opponent.
