How is this fair matchmaking?
I hate the GA with a passion. I am being punished because of a high GP because I have worked on gearing and 7* ing all my toons. I always struggle in the GA, but this 3rd round matchup is completely r...

The problem is the amount of disparity. And this is coming from someone who always takes first or second. I shouldn't be competing against people who don't stand a chance because of how they geared toons. It's like pitting a little league baseball team against a professional team just because the little league has more players total.
Except that’s completely different. They would have had different amounts of time to get better, different brain development, there are many factors there.
What I think would be interesting is if they matched not only by GP but also by starting date. If you’ve had the same amount of time to prepare your toons as your opponent, that would make it more fair.
Okay, then compare minor leagues to major leagues. Major league would be your high gear toons and the minors would be your low gear toons. All the same age, but it is still 5 vs. 5. You completely missed the point he was trying to make. And because I chose to help my guild by spending resources that I had tons of and gear up toons that I didn't need, I'm now suffering for it. You can't tell me that my opponent doesn't have the extra resources to gear up his 20+ G1 toons to at least G5 or G6, gear that he most likely has hundreds or thousands of, and the minimal amount of credits required to craft gear at that level. He is clearly choosing not to because most likely he knows that by doing so will place him in a higher GP bracket that will most likely not give him such easy victories. And I don't think the starting date should be a deciding factor because some people that I know took time off away from this game. I would suggest something like maybe the GP of your top toons depending on how many you need for the GA. Like if you have to set 7 defensive 5 man squads, then your top 70 toons and the same for ships.
But we’re not all major or all minor, are we? We all have varying amounts of both. So how would they assess who is minor and who is major when you all have the same GP? It would be harder to code than you think, unless you’re an expert in game creation...
I think time makes sense; if you took a break, that’s your loss. But that’s not my point. They should combine start date with GP.
And I would like to remind everyone that no matter how well you do, you will still receive rewards.
