Grand Arena GP unfair

Although I understand, I disagree. If we get into algorithms like TW, the mismatches would ultimately be worse based on historical TW matchups. Identical GP indicates identical resources invested but just allocated differently. Granted this puts you at a disadvantage for this GA. However if a future GA event is more slanted towards ships, then the advantage is yours.

Straight GP is like saying to a monkey and a fish. We are going to match you up based on age. Forba swimming contest.

Its different for TW because you have a mixture of TW focused players and TB focused players in the guild.

In 1 v 1. You dont have the mix.

I have 3.6 million GP... But 1.5 million is TB bloat. I have every toon lvl 60 nodded and 4 or 5 geared. Every GA oponent ive faced has had double the gear 12 and double the zetas as me.

GA and TW are dominated by teams that are not TB focused. 30 lions (tw) will beat 300 sheep (TB) everytime.

Heres the fix. Preview phase. Select (fake number) 30 toons that you wish to take into battle. End of preview phase, you get matched up with equal GP... To the 30 you selected. Not your entire roster (I'm 3.6 m GP... But 1.5 is bloat for TB).

Fight and now its fair.

Grand Arena makes me wanna quit.... i just played someone with full lvl 12 gear and full mods on every single toon. there is no way i can compete.

If GA remains straight GP based. Im done as well.

I agree with DarthSlavik, there isn’t any logic to count GP of the float in an arena without any float Battle! At the same, all my opposant have minimum 150 000 GP of toons compare to me!

But players with lot of fluff GP (TB focused players as you call them) still may give their guild a disadvantage in TW. They just don't realise it until they are struck by it personally in GA. Instead of complaining, they should just enjoy their advantage in TB.

There are TW focused guilds where all 50 members have that sort of roster. Sometimes your mixed guild will meet those focused guilds, and when you do, you will probably lose. It really isn’t very different.

Agree with this post. GA seriously disadvantages players with high GP. Shouldn’t these be the players that should have an advantage not be disadvantaged??? I get frustrated thinking of all the zetas going to lower GP players who have much easier GAs. Not fair.

But they made an announcement that they wanted to change matchmaking to remove ships from non-ship GAs. Shouldn’t that make you content? The announcement I mean since the change still hasn’t been implemented.

I suffer the same problem and it’s getting really annoying. Last GA, everyone had 300-400k squad GP on me. It was the first time I chose to not even attack 1 opponent. He ran over my defense and still set a strong defense. I didn’t have enough toons to overcome that so why bother?

It’s only slightly better when ships are included in GA because the point system isn’t balanced either. But that’s a discussion for another thread.

I seem to recall CG saying that grand arenas that did not have a fleet section would ignore fleet GP for the match up, is this still going to happen? Because it is not at the moment. Some clarification would be nice

I am mostly F2P and have been playing for years and the whole time I was leveling and gearing everything, especially when TB came around. My GP is 3.98 million. I do not have Revan or Traya or a usable Bastilla Shan. I am pretty much guaranteed to get matched up against people who do, so I am lucky if I can get a single win in GA. If they put a good Revan squad on Defense, I am SOL. I can run my entire roster against the one team and not make a dent. So.. GA is not enjoyable and barely worth the effort to get last place rewards. I'm close to the point where I'm going to join and not bother setting defense and just collect the rewards at the end because taking the time to set defenses has rarely resulted in a better than last place payout unless someone else is coasting through it, but I won't do that because I understand it negative affects the opponents...
