GAC draw results unfair for lower GP
Defaulting the victory to the higher GP in the result of a draw is completely unfair. If anything, the fact that the lower GP can achieve the same score with less potential resources shows that t...

If we don't have the FAIR CHANCE, it means the attackers have put them self in an unfair advantage against us, the lower GPs.
By unfair advantage, i am talking about their manipulation of skill rating. They intentionally lower their skill rating so that they can achieve whatever goal they have.
And what does the game's TOS says about gaining an unfair advantage over other players? Bannable?
I highly doubt that people are intentionally tanking their scores to gain an advantage. Maybe some are, but most people that sink to lower brackets than their rosters are capable of sustaining just have periods of not caring about GAC or not fully engaging because they don't have time (me) or just don't like 3v3 (also me).
The only way this would be 'unfair' is if only some players had the ability to tank their skill rating - intentionally or through just plain apathy. YOU have the same ability to tank your own skill rating and get easier matches on the occasions that you actually play. The idea that this gives people an unfair advantage is erroneous at best and disingenuous at worst. Those people get fewer crystals than they would if they were trying 100% of the time - so they are penalized for doing this.
For some of us that's a fair trade. I don't like PVP in general but I dislike 3v3 even more. When 3v3 season hits, I take a break from GAC and while my crystal income suffers, to me it's a fair tradeoff for not having to engage in a game mode that I don't enjoy.
Fairness doesn't enter in to the equation. I have a bigger roster than you because I've spent more time (and money) playing than you. Placement in the GAC ranks is based on skill rating that is derived from wins vs losses. But we all have access to the same resources in the game and we all have the potential to grow a big roster given enough time and/or money. That's the way the game works. That's the way the game has always worked.
As an aside - we've wandered pretty far away from the original topic which was a repeat of the same topic that gets brought up when someone loses a draw to someone with higher GP - to which, I'll reiterate my previous sentiment that that's exactly how it should be. Lose more matches and you'll be matched against lower GP players and you'll win every draw. Anyone can do this unless you happen to be dead last on the GAC ladder.
