Hello, I come here to post this incredibly stupid image to show how BAD this new system of GA is.So, as shown in the image above I was matched with a guy with 5.1M GP, while my account was around 1.8M (At that time). It was a predicted loss nonetheless.Today, as I was waiting to recieve my rewards for losing, battle I did not waste any time due to it being a Full Clear on my side at 30m of the attack phase and incredibly strong defenses that he put; when I recieve this message: "You did not recieve any rewards due to not participation in the battle."So, your system matches me with a guy 3.3M GP more than me and when I don't even attack him because there's no point I recieve NO REWARDS AT ALL? WHY? I finally got 2nd spot on the tournament but this costed me crystals that I needed. This is unfair to say the least considering the horrendous system you've created, in which you are matched with people way more advanced than you, making you lose deliberately.I want my cristals.

You wanted your crystals? You should've done an attackEven if you just go in and out, you get 10 points for at least, tryingYou didn't tried, you don't get rewards, just that simpleAlso, Matchmaking works, 5.1M GP and he still does not own a GL? You know he's doing something wrong lol

Not gonna get much traction here with that. the requirement to participate has been a known quantity in this game mode since the overhaul. sorry you missed rewards...lesson learned for the future.

Maybe?You literally just needed to enter a battle, even with a G1 character, lose or quit, and there you go, 10 pointsYou do the White flag thing and get your rewardsIn the part of not participation, it mean that round, not the entre tournament

CG made it abundantly clear that you must score at least 10 points to be eligible for rewards. Which can be received regardless of you defeating a team.The only person to blame for you not receiving rewards is yourself.

You didn't tried, you don't get rewards, just that simple

Also, Matchmaking works, 5.1M GP and he still does not own a GL? You know he's doing something wrong lol

The idea, apparently, is to sink those who don’t participate in GAC to the very bottom division. Yet, it takes effort to hit “Sign Up” in the first place. So it’s to stop people from just hitting the old “Join” button, I guess. Yet, if you don’t join, do you still sink?

I forgot to join once and my skill rating didn't change. Thankfully that week just happened to be the week that was cancelled and then rescheduled so I didn't really miss out on any rewards lol

That's probably why it didn't change. In the early announcements, I believe they said your SR would decrease as if you had gone 0-2.

Be prepared, it's only going to get worse in the lower ranks with people falling through the tiers from above.
