GAC system maybe ?

Winners will go up, and losers will go down. You'll separate and not face them anymore.

Attack once, get 10. Lose 10-68.

How do they get the 68 if they don't care?

They attack once and win. If you’ve got 7M and your opponent has 2M, this is hardly impossible.

Oh, so if they do care and win, then they wouldn't be dropping for losing and not caring. Scenario is made up.

It seems to be a semantics dispute around 'caring', because depending on how you define "caring", you both have a point. Not caring could be 'I don't play and I drop, who cares" or could be "I don't care so I play once in a while with minimul effort, slowly dropping until I hover in far too little ponds for my size".

The problem is, if such players do care enough to win, they couldn't also be dropping by losing. It's made-up.

Not sure. If you don’t like gac but still want some crystals, just find a league where you can win with minimal effort (heavy defense and win one fight on auto), then alternate 0-3 and 3-0.
I’m not saying it’s an issue (it’s not if it’s a small number of players), but the 68-10 scenario doesn’t have to be made up.

Well, I'm sure they could point to a GAC match-up on SWGOH.GG to show it's made up.

Sure they could.

I spent this last season winning one match per bracket because I didn't care enough to put in more effort but I wanted some rewards. My rank went down.

If I kept doing that for several seasons I would end up facing weaker opponents in lower divisions.

Do you think this is because we are forced to play 3v3?

So the good news for people worried about this, you still might win 2/3 times.

Thing is that us players that are in Chromium (...)
Yes I get more crystals now, but it's not fun at all.

I guess it depends...i am in Chromium...and game is MUCH more fun now. In the "old" days could win 1 (usually 2) matches with minimum effort, use "standard" defenses ...and teams and strategies were usually much more repetitive...
Now i have to work for it...find ways around better teams (GLs), prepare traps in defense and really think before attacking...it may be harder, but i have FUN. Bear in mind...i have fun PLAYING, not necessarily WINNING...

It’s not a crystal issue, it’s a fun issue at the bottom of the ladder. I have no idea if it happens often enough to be an issue to begin with.

No one knows, even though some will see this and immediately claim they do. All we have is anecdotal info.

Maybe it would help if each league (carb, bronz, chrom, aud, and kiber) had a gp base. Say, carb be 3m and below, bronz be 3-4m, chrom be 4-5m, aud be 6-8m and other be 8+m. Within that you would have the tiers (V IV III II I) which could be based off is skill rating.

These conversations just go around in circles.......

So players that aren't 100% active then stay in higher leagues and have less incentive in playing properly.
What about less successful players that have dropped leagues whilst trying to win?
We see 2 million accounts beating poorly made 6 million accounts frequently every season.

I can see putting a GP ceiling on Carbonite, however any other league defeats the object of a league system.

TBH I'd love to see those frequent 2M accounts beating 6M accounts. Just like @TVF says, where's the data?
