Grand Arena matching

I have found, so far in my limited tracking since May 4th, if the inflated GP does nothing on round 1 and you score 10 points and win, they will become active in round 2 and 3 and stomp the other opponent.  If they are active on round 1 and win, they will then loose round 2 and 3 with inactivity or fight one or two nodes.  Occasionally, you'll get a matchup within 2 million of your GP and the player will just grind the whole match winning every match and move up.  I plug these as returning accounts who were dormant.  But, the following month you'll see that guy in your rotation 5v5 or 3v3 again for whatever reason, downranking, no time to play, actually had to show skill and lacked it, etc. 

ALL levels of Carbonite it littered with 10-11 million GP players, some are active, some are not.  You have to click to join GAC, so it is a choice they are making to be there which is intimidating for new players.  The current Carbonite 1 I am in on the new alt account, I am matched with three 11 mil players with over 93 zetas and 5 GLs each, two 9 mil players, one 5mil player me at 4.5mil and a guy at 3.5 mil.  This seems to be the comp every match where you are moving up and down between Carb 5-1 every GAC.  GL's are being set on defense, but a lot of them are stripped of their mods.

I utilize Wampa a lot to break a few so I put on more than 10 points.  But it has been the slowest crawl up the ladder again with these crazy inflated matches with the down rankers.  I can actually see how this is discouraging for brand new players and creates a barrier for their growth ranking 7 or 8 every single week.  It's so hard to explain, because my one account is not empirical data, it's just my experience in a very small sample.  And I am no statistician, so I don't keep very good data, like what is everyone ranks, how long have they played the game, what is their ship comp, how many end game capital ships do they have, how many teams are relic'd, how many zeta and omicrons do they own, what was their highest rank prior to this match?  Etc.  My data is just basic win / loss, zeta count, GL count, GP count.

I look forward to what you see on your new account.
