Getting old with the GP disparity - every level is having this problem besides Kyber 1

Well my first point is that GLs are generally a problem. They're terrible for competitive match ups, due to how much more powerful they are than anything else. I get the feeling CG has noticed this recently and hence the omicrons and conquest characters to even things up a bit.
I also don't want to go back to a world where I have to be mindful of my GP, yet have to work on trash characters to unlock top characters. I hate this way of playing.
"Think of how many more ships and character teams are added with an extra 2 million GP. i think that works out to be 10-15 more squads"
But how much of that is going to be wasted GP? If you're in Kyber, you're not going to need an extra 15 squads. This highlights that GP isn't a great match making factor as a lot of the GP won't be used for bigger accounts.
I'm a bit lower than you. I'm bouncing around high Arodium/low Kyber and seeing matches with 4-7 million. I get the feeling, the lower accounts are more likely to try harder. However, I'm not seeing a big difference in difficulty based on GP.
I think matching via GP in the division is interesting and may make it better. I think there's a real problem especially at lower divisions with big GP accounts dropping. Not with the win percentages, but with fun competitive match ups.
What would happen to accounts if you did match with GP though. So smaller accounts that worked hard to move up would be paired together. Also, larger accounts that hit rock bottom would be paired together. I can see positives and negatives with both those scenarios.
Smaller (try hard) accounts might be penalized for being try hard. However, the matches would be very competitive.
Larger lazy accounts would get free wins. However, it would mean that some of these would be moved out of lower divisions and back somewhere where they should be.
Then how would it affect promotion or the top of Kyber 1? Right now the top teams go head to head and are promoted or gain the top spots. What would happen if you got a slightly easier match up, due to gp match making?
It's a shame that to maintain competitive win percentages a lot of players aren't getting competitive match ups.
