Grand Arena Zeta Differential
Thanks, CG, for another Grand Arena matchup with an opponent with many more zetas than me. An 18 zeta deficit would have been fine, but 19 is ridiculous. Either let people decommission or de-gear ol...

Zetas are not directly comparable. A double zeta Farmboy Luke is not worth as much as a double zeta Traya.
In addition, zetas already add a lot of GP to a toon - a zeta adds 2,406 GP to a 7-star toon, which is more than a full 6-dot modset and is more than the GP difference between a G11+0 toon and a G12+5 toon.
I think any matchmaking based on a fixed power calculation is going to throw up dodgy pairings, because the true power of a toon depends on what squad it's used in and metas shift over time. There's no way the devs can go around readjusting things every time there's a meta shift. That's why I think incorporating some fluid, self-correcting element to matchmaking (like the elo system that's already been proposed by a few players) would be better.
Agreed, the value of individual zetas are not comparable, but I would bet that the total number of comparative zetas would prove to be highly predictive in determining outcome probability of any given GA matchup. I'd be interested in an elo system as an alternative to the current pairing process.
