You're matched vs the 7 nearest players to you on Skill Points. GP and GLs are not taken into consideration.

- GP has limited relevance to what is a fair match up.
- If you matched by GP, it would affect how we played every aspect of the game. Would you farm a new character that the guild needed or for conquest, or just not get them at all?
- It would be unfair on the players that have been making their rosters bigger in the knowledge there are no GP constraints outside of TW (which doesn't really matter) compared to those that come along afterwards.
- If I have a sub 2 million GP roster, and GP match-making came into effect, why continue? I really should start again and become efficient.
- You would get players 'min-maxing'. I could make a 4 team 1 ship roster and just stop there. Deliberately sifting through all the noobs that come along, winning 9-0 every season.
- Yes, there are some issues with GAC, mostly accounts that rarely play. However, we all win/lose roughly an even amount of games per year. If you're active you'll win more than you'll lose.
- We used to match by GP, this was before rewards in GAC were so good. It wasn't better. Some players used to go 12-0 (we had 4 weeks, not 3 back then) month after month after month. At least with the ladder win percentages are fair.
I don't want to watch my GP because of GP match making. I don't really feel the need to win more matches than I do (and I would under GP, for a while anyway). I don't want to see predators deliberately targeting new players with min-maxed rosters. At least now, you can't deliberately tank the system and be rewarded for it.
