GAC matchmaking...again
I love GAC. I like good competition. I accept that I will be outplayed and will lose at times, this is ok, I am a good sport and gracious loser.
Yet, it is a wonder to me that I keep getting matched up, or out matched by meta characters. I cannot take my gp away. I have an inflated or "Fluffy" roster. In all the years that I have been playing, I have been encouraged to unlock, gear, mod, etc as many toons as possible to have more to enjoy with the game. Now I am falling so far behind the new focused players and people with fat wallets that I am frustrated more than having fun. As a F2P, I am forced to accept this as just the way this game is.
In the last devs Q&A, it was stated that matchmaking was meant to give each person a 50% chance to win or lose. It is more fun if it is challenging, no one wants easy wins all of the time. So I am left wondering why I keep getting matched up against people that have the meta characters fully developed, and I do not have them developed or in most cases at all. It seems strange to me to complain about this when I have 500k gp more than my opponent (or more), but my inflated roster does not equal G13 DRevan. (I have 0 G13 characters) There is no way for me to win efficiency, no way for me to full clear with my available roster if they place meta teams in front wall defense, no way to win.
How is this balanced matching? Am I the only person with such an inflated roster? I have spent all of my energy buying shards to unlock the metas, but the drop rates are not allowing me to get anywhere close. Another DR event is almost over, and even though I spend energy on Carth for example, everyday (And have for a long long time now), I am still not even 6 star. I do not have the money to buy him. So once again I am behind every person that does. That is fine, but why am I not matched against other people that do not have metas, but have inflated rosters. I feel like a cheap prize for the people that pay you to win and it is not cool.
If I am over reacting, or if I am the lone player with an inflated gp roster that does not have the meta, let me know CG. No one answered my last discussion. Is there anybody that can assure me that this is not what it seems, unfair? I am the only person in this round of GAC that does not have Darth Revan, some have Malak as well. (Not to mention the Fully zetad JKR teams, mine is gear 8. Or the g13 characters, again I have zero.) It will be a RNG miracle if I make it above last place. This takes the fun out of a game mode I enjoy. Thanks for your time.
