No, it's not a good thing. On my alt I am 2.2 mil gp, no GL yet. Last round there was a guy with 4.5 mil gp and GL Rey, this round I am facing right now another 4.5 mil gp, which seems to be deliberately inactive. He lost the first round, as I did too. His teams are auto-deployed. The same thing with that one with GL Rey. They were inactive, so no, it doesnt mean I have a good roster for my gp. No no no...
Well... it could also mean your opponent is bad at the game or doesn't care.
I think the big issue is that some folks don't want to accept a long-run 50% win rate. And they don't like that doing so will require some unfair matches along the way. - ccmooseNew Novice

No, they can't be bad. Looking at their roster, I simply can't win, period.

What? Seriously, what is fishy about it? Call me crazy, but I think matching us up against opponents who have won and lost to similar caliber opponents as I have is pretty darn fair.
It does sound pretty volatile in the lower leagues; I'll concede that. But at least in my SR range of K1, it's already leading to very competitive and engaging matchups. In the old system, I won 90% of my fights without any effort or scouting just because of how lean my roster was and how arbitrary the MM wwas. "Ragnarok_COTF;c-2330625" wrote:

I think that is the issue for some folks who are unhappy about the new system. I would offer that any matchmaking system which tends to let someone dominate their bracket every time by definition means that someone else is often getting crushed. If everyone ends up in divisions where they tend to finish around .500, it’s way better to be in a higher division where you get a lot better rewards for that .500 finish. I will also concede that the first few months will have some volatility and sometimes funky matchups. But the devs specifically said this would be the case and properly set expectations, IMO.- All you people complaining about unfair matchups will eventually get a free win against @SnakesOnAPlane so don't sweat it.

Its a game, and especially a bad one which I use to play for passing the time and meanwhile reflecting about human nature. This company is the perfect example of "how to NOT create a game" :D So no, not seriously...
Dont like it, the rewards are better now but everybody gets them so no big accomplishment. If you are k1 and probably 7-8 mil gp, would you be kind enough to give advice to players like yourself with the same gp ? And if you already know that a 4.5 mil gp cant win against my 2.2 because he sucks and Im a genius, not because he deliberately doesnt fight, well...you must be a prophet reading the stars. :wink:- ccmooseNew Novice

I think a lot of people don't want to wait a few months while their skill rating matches them against the appropriate opponents. A few month of not having fun would make a lot of people consider a different pastime.
Fair. CG could have put more effort than they did into initial seeding. - perfidius44Rising Newcomer

Don’t worry about that, a lot of people complained for months about the old matchmaking system and still play the game. "Starslayer;c-2330735" wrote:

That was before the GAC rewards mattered- ScreeriderNew ScoutNot sure why some people are hung up on the word “skill”. MM uses “Skill Rating” values to match people up. That’s it.
The previous system based on “Galactic Power” had little to do with a player’s power in some galaxy far far away.
And let’s not get into “Championship Points”.
Maybe it should just have been called “Win/Loss Maclunkey” so folks would understand it’s just an artificial video game value. - OongahNew SpectatorThe sooner people accept the fact that we're being pushed into a 50% win/loss record the better. I know it's hard for folks who are used to going 10-2 to 12-0 every season to accept that fact but it's going to happen. Yes there will be exceptions at the very tip of the spear where the 9.5m gp+ krakens that are also good at the game happen to reside but for the rest just accept this fact. The reward for being good for your GP is to promote to a higher division than others at your GP. You'll earn a higher daily income and there are more crystals for both wins and losses and the end of week/season rewards.
But to the OPs point that he had a big discrepancy in GP vs his opponent and those that keep saying give it time it will balance out, some of the 'on paper' matchups are going to get worse. At least and the mid and lower divisions. Sure there will be some matches that are competitive, but there are a lot of people out there that hate GAC and still sign up every week and don't even attack ( not even taking the effort to send in 1 team on auto to ensure 2nd place rewards ). These guys are going to keep dropping down the ranks and instead of the OP at 1.4m facing a 4m account he's going to be facing a 6m account then a 7m. Maybe these guys will eventually wake up and see how easy the win will be but who knows :)
These guys would be better off not signing up for Gac at all since they're not actually getting any crystals for 0 effort. At least they would stay in their original division and collect a higher daily income. Yes, I know the Q/A said that you were supposed to take a 1-2 record for not signing up but that isn't happening. No change in SR whatsoever for not signing up.
