What some users seem to want is a matchmaking system where there is effectively 7 clones of their own roster in their GA group, so that no decision they've ever made will ever come back to haunt them.

The current matchmaking system, however, provides easy excuses for anyone who loses:
- I lost because I have more ship GP and less character GP than my opponents
I won my bracket 3-0 this time despite having over 50% of my GP tied up in unusable ships and seeing opponents with 11-45% more usable GP than me. (Thankfully I did not face the latter opponent)
That does not make it fair or balanced. It simply means that I out-modded and out-played my opponents on this occasion.
On occasions where I do encounter similarly well modded opponents, I usually lose because I am at a significant GP disadvantage which allows them to overwhelm my defense either by having more high-power toons or by zerging it with a larger roster of sufficiently powerful toons. Neither of which requires much skill.
