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? ...

Darnesswon-
Ships will be used in some of the later Grand Arena tournaments but I obviously agree 100% with everything else you said.
Kyno-
A long distance runner and a sprinter train differently because they are competing in two completely different events. They dont have to and won’t face each other.
correct, they both focus on different areas. that doesn't make them not both classified as runners. but it does mean that they do things differently and some are good in one area that the other is not.
players are the same way. they have built for different game modes. collecting vs being competitive in various degrees. someone who has built a wide collection may not be able to compete against someone who has built up for TW.

I respect you Kyno and you may still remember me, but that’s some **** right there. Sorry to say.
Players are being put at a disadvantage for leveling up characters, plain and simple. This has been an issue with TW matchmaking from day one. It’s now even a bigger problem for those who want to be competitive in Grand arena.
I agree players should be selective when using their resources but shouldn’t be at a disadvantage because they have mods on all their chars and etc.
TB a guild needs high GP to get the max stars. So we have one game mode where CG is saying Work on Everything, it will be beneficial and then we have two other game modes where CG is basically saying the opposite. Besides all that, Paper zombie. Does anything else really need to be said....
Paper zombie
so players who focused on different game modes being at a disadvantage to player who focused on being competitive in TW style of game play. I'm not sure how that is anything other than the way its supposed to be plain and simple.
no this is different than TW matchmaking. that is an issue of itself but mostly based around matching vs multiple players.
matching based on GP and other factors can work fine. and if they dont have teams or counter teams built for this style of game mode, thats their fault.
If we knew this game mode was coming yes, otherwise how is it anyone's fault , thet didnt prepare for something they knew nothing about.
There were no hints , no login toons that pointed to this. Introducing another game mode that punishes collectors in a collector game us just silly. Which is why i'll put one toon on defense and be done with it. Will not waste a second on a game mode that punishes me because of how i choose to play a game.
And lastly zombie was changed because they didn't want ppl gaining an advantage for not powering up toons , well you just created a game mode , that will stop the powering up of all non meta toons , to keep gp low to face much easier opponents. Does not make much sense.
And as far as i know total GP also includes ships even though none can be used. Which is another handicap to those who actually use and worked on a bunch of ships.
I'm not saying we knew what was coming, but competitive player have been honing their TW teams and counter teams. That is the build that would end up being better suited for this.
collecting with no point is a great venture, but is not the build of someone who is trying to be competitive. and yes if you are a collector for a collectings sake then you will not be the best in a competitive mode. its not what you trained for.
