GP Matchmaking & “Fluff”
How is it that a guild and a players GP is the key factor in TW and Grand Arena? Why should a player or guild be put at a disadvantage because they have worked on building up more of their roster? ...

Place 2 Olympic level runners in a race, the can both have the best mile times and may even be close.
One runs marathons and the other shorter races.
They are equals athletically and in many respects, but one will have a clear advantage in a marathon.
It's about how you build your roster and how you develop in the game. If you developed more competitively or not. That's the players choice.
No one in their right mind would put these to differing runners in the same category.
So your example proves the point you are arguing against.
the category is olympic runners. just like the category for this matching is players of SWGOH.
how each runner trains is how each player develops their roster.
if you want to be good at TW/GA you need to be team and counter team focused. if you do this the rest takes care of itself.

Kyno even you should know this algorithm is horrible because Ships over-inflate GP by a milestone. Someone farming Hounds Tooth will end up facing someone who didn't focus hard on ships. Character GP is more important since that is where the win/loss of Grand Arena will be judging from the points distribution.
Matchmaking should've accounted for multiple factors than just base overall GP
EDIT: you have an olympic runner and a swimmer competing for a 100m race in this case. Just because you have two athletes that are 1st in their field competing doesn't mean its fair
we dont know all the factors involved, we dont know if GP is anything considered, or if they use just character GP. so stating it is horrible is a little unfair.
But you wouldnt force sprinters and marathoners to compete with each other, they have separate events, and never compete with each other, unlike this arena, so your analogy is not really accurate
