Grand Arena HUGE Matchmaking mistake
When you match players based on combined ship and character GP but only let them use characters, you get big mismatches with players heavily invested in fleet. This is such a massive and obvious resul...

I made the mistake of leveling up every ship in my fleet cause I had the resources and thought I might be able to use 3rd string or 4h string fleets in TWs. Until they add a fleet raid where we need to use multiple teams, this strategy is not paying off. It is what it is, I waisted resources and I can get over that, but it would be nice to not get penalized in non-fleet GA by facing all teams with 200k to 500k more character GP than I have when fleets are not part of the playing field.
My typical opponents in my bracket have similar zeta counts but 20-30 more characters in the gear 11 and 12 range. I still pull off some wins, but I am clearly playing from a disadvantage in every match up that doesn't use fleets. On the other hand, when we do get to use fleets, I hold on defense 3 times and am able to take my opponents' fleet out in 1 try. So there is clearly a reason to have strong fleets for some GAs, they should just make the matchmaking systems account for if fleets are in use or not, so there isn't such a disadvantage for investing
