Grand Arena matchmaking

How do you want them to do matchmaking going forward? What criteria do you expect them to use?

I'm totally free to play and place top 5 when I'm not busy. My opponent this GA is top 500 with awful teams. We've spent our resources differently is all, but it is fair all the same.

Your message reads like you expect them to individually checks rosters.

I would label it more so as a collector vs pvp focussed than p2p vs ftp really.
People can be p2p and still rank low in arena due to time constraints and other factors and at the same time f2p can rank 1st in arena everyday.Its simply a player's approach to the game

Should be more aligned with g12,zeta’s or arena ranking in my opinion. GP really has nothing to do with how people lineup in comparison to each other.

Well they could use 2 parameters in the algo instead of just GP, GP probably is best, then it could try to also match up Ship and Arena ranks as close as possible.

Everyone in my group has very close GP so happy it went that far given past complaints

love the whining. how can a collector even dream to win vs a pvp oriented account i do not know. we all start at the same level its just that people make different resource investment decisions. remember, GA is the ultimate account vs account testing ground.

Gear is a fair point, but I don't think arena ranks are a useful metric. I'm on relatively new arena shards, where it's still easy to break into top ranks. My current GA opponent is on an older shard. He ranks around 500 in squad and 200 in fleet, but he has 8 zeta characters compared to my 3. And unlike me, he also has Revan, GMY and CLS. zRevan and zCLS, that is.

He looks like he might be F2P whereas I'm a small dolphin (more of a porpoise really), but he has more than 7 months of playtime on me according to swgoh.gg. There are so many different factors at play that I can see why CG simply uses GP for matchmaking. And as long as fleet is included the way it is now, I'm okay with that. If I can win just one round of out of three, like I did last time, I'm happy.

It needs to consider More than GP.

It really needs to only considers characters over g10. Anything less than that just isn’t useful.

It also needs to look at big impact characters: revan, treya, thrawn etc.

This would make things a lot closer. My chief concern with GA at present is you can tell who is going to win before you even start.

Id like it to always give me someone I can best. Please and thanks
