Then you seem to assume that in an even match-up, someone is going to be much weaker, this is where you go off the rails.

Please explain what makes you believe this?

LOL you want me to quote what is just above you in the thread really? Now you just look like a troll, you basically said it all over again in your new message.

Your interpretation of my comments are consistently wrong. Please stop this trolling game of yours. You're wasting bandwidth.

Even match-ups will give players, who developed a weaker roster, an easier path to winning high rank rewards in GA and give players, who developed a strong roster (same GP as the weaker ones), a harder path to winning the same high rank rewards. I don't see this as fair. A believe, that mixing stronger and weaker rosters (even GP) in the groups of 8 is far more fair.

My point is: When considering 16 players with even GP, if the 8 eight players with weaker rosters are grouped together, while the 8 players with stronger rosters are grouped together, the players with weaker rosters would have a higher chance of winning

You keep going on about "weaker rosters" in a scenario designed to make sure there are none.

What are you on about? Of course I discuss weaker and stronger rosters. Whichever way you group those 16 (random) players (most likely) some will have stronger rosters while others will have weaker rosters. I'm sure we agree on this.

The scenario described is : The 8 weakest rosters are grouped together while the 8 strongest rosters are grouped together in another group. You see? There are still weaker and stronger rosters.

ONLY in the CURRENT system are there "weaker" rosters to consider, which is why it is NOT a fair system.

What you seem to want, is exactly that, you want uneven match-ups so stronger rosters, can walk over weaker ones, so they DON"T have a chance, you don't want the weaker rosters to have more of a chance. And you think that is more fair than what the OP and I are suggesting?

Yes, mixing players with weaker rosters with players with stronger rosters (all of even GP) is more fair than matching weak with weak and strong with strong. Why should players, who built weak rosters (for GA) have easier access to rank 1 prizes than players who built strong rosters? Do you really think that it would be fair if players with strong rosters would end up with prizes for zero wins, while players with weak rosters would end up with prizes for 3 wins? (assuming even GP, and same effort and skill). Does this line of thinking really make sense to you?

Yes, with your (or the OP's) system, the GA matches would be more even - for some even more fun - but they would also be less fair.
