Match up disaster.

I am curious what GP you are that you are facing Traya teams but just started farming HAAT?

I didn't say we were just farming haat. I can solo haat. 3.5 mil gp combined with my fleet. We are slowly farming for heroic sith but taking forever we are 23 person guild and have clear disadvantage due to size and team limit size for wars even though when we were 25 people barely getting into wars were winning over 80% due to the top 8 people in guild being deep enough to set good defense and have the offense to back it up as a collective. Grand arena on the other hand gives the distinct advantage to players from larger guilds who have the ability to farm characters must faster.

I have tried setting strong defense, yet keep enough offense to compete offensively, doesn't work when your facing toons that can take out everything you have. I could understand if it was close or came down to a couple of teams, but these are distinct wipeouts on my defense and can't even get through the first set of defense of opponents. Therefore where is the fun in it or the willingness to participate when your last every time. The best I placed was second to last because I was able to beat one team and they never attacked, obviously forgot or were too busy to engage that day. Just saying the matchups suck tremendously. Lower players in my guild are getting better matchups but still say they are getting beat up more than winning.

So you are intentionally staying in a weak guild despite the fact that it makes you less competitive throughout the game, and you are complaining that you are less competitive throughout the game.

Really? I am saying the gp matchup is tweaked to favor players from larger guilds due to the fact they are farming legendary characters and stacking gear twice as fast as small guilds therefore the ability to compete is hindered by gp factor alone. I am not weak by any means if that is what your trying to say sarcastically. I am saying I can't reach legendaries and gear them as fast as players that statistically can be weaker than me in gp algorithm yet be stronger in the three man format of Grand Arena due to fully stacked legendaries that I can almost beat but yet get edged out to last place in arena almost every time.

It's my guild. I am the leader and I am not INTENSIONALLY staying inca weak guild. I'm trying to build a guild. At one time we had 46 members and due to drop outs that lose interest or kick outs due to lack of participation we are now 23 member. You are way off base with your assumptions. Been recruiting for 6 months now and hard to get new members without guaranteeing tw to farm Wampa and HYoda. Match ups are not compatible by any other means other than gp. If you don't understand that then I don't know what to tell you.

Comparable. Auto correct.

There’s a lot of run on sentences here so it’s difficult to understand you but I think you are trying to say that it’s difficult to beat legendaries heroes and raid characters if you don’t have them :)

Joking aside, I agree with the other posters. It’s nothing new that these types of characters are overpowered, so you’re faced with a choice of joining a guild that can do the raids (and getting those guys) or staying where you are. I wouldn’t complain about legendaries being overpowered here because this isn’t something unique to GA.

Personally, I’ve chosen to stay in guilds that aren’t farming HSTR because those guilds usually have less drama. I can’t complain about getting matched up against Traya when my GP is as high as most people in HSTR farming guilds.

I’m only posting here because I think there are genuine matchmaking problems under the current algorithm, but this isn’t one of them.

I’m not making any assumptions, I’m going by what you said. You have the GP to get into a guild that does TW, gets more stars in TB, and probably does heroic sith. You are choosing not to do so because you would rather continue to lead your current guild that does not do those things. This prevents you from getting GET and g12 gear and Traya and, according to you, prevents you from completing legendary events.

Yes, the game favors people who are in full guilds with members whose rosters equal or exceed their own. It has done so since TB came out, and the devs even said back when the tank raid was released that they wanted to incentivize that over people being complacent in weak guilds. If you choose to make less competitive decisions you will be less competitive in PvP game modes. What I can’t understand is why this is so surprising to people.

Might also want to post a swgoh.gg profile so people can offer some advice on your roster.

Usually people that rail against GA and all of the inherent unfairness in GP related match ups have lower arena ranks, which generally (not always) correlates well with inferior mods (team comps being equal, of course).

As you're well aware, being in a guild that is not full means you're not raiding as frequently as your competition, which will limit the rate you can acquire Han and GK, though I'm assuming that you already have those characters unlocked at 3.5M GP.

Have you considered a merger, or does your need to have your own guild supersede your leadership responsibilities to your guild mates to get them to progress as far and as fast as possible?
