You're right. My guild mate said that. How did you know? I thought I left there user names outta the screenshots.

If we were talking about a mackerel in the ocean, I'd never find it. However, a blue whale..........not so hard.

That's funny. That account is definitely a blue whale. What's the highest GP you've seen?

The largest accounts and there are a few are about 11.4 million now. So 10.8 is right up there.

My range has been A3-K3 and I don't remember the largest I've face, as I don't really look at the GP that much. Maybe high 8s??? Definitely nothing anywhere near as big as 10.8!

I wish they'd change the name to win points or something because skill has nothing at all to do with that number.

You can be outclassed by 3-4M GP, the higher guy can half ass it while the lower guy can bust his butt and show tons of actual ability, lose by 1 pt and the 'skill' points reflect the same as if you lost 1700-10

Why can't the League be determined by GP and Skill Points...

So if your GP is over 6m whether you have 2000 or 4000 you can't drop to a league where players are 2m GP

The opponent full cleared and I will be lucky to get 10 points:

Then lower GP would be blocked from best rewards by accounts who don’t participate. If I could stay kyber and do nothing, I’d do that in a second. But since I’d drop and my daily income would dry up, I put in the effort to fight every battle.

Is this GP difference normal? I just got GAS and he has him at r7 and SEE. So it's safe to say I won't win this GA.

He has more omi than me and I’m 6 mil ?. Haven’t spent any in ages though saving for starkiller

All you need to do is attack once. Succeed or fail, you get 10 points to get the rewards

I haven't been able to actually play GAC for ages. I got into K5 with no GLs based mostly on huge accounts not doing anything. I'll lose 2 out of 3 rounds now but never actually drop because me and my 3.5 million GP account with no GLs is expected to lose against someone with 7 million GP and 4 GLs, so the penalty for losing is not high enough to relegate me to a lower league. Then I get a win against someone who only does one fight and quits so the cycle continues

GAC sucks unless you're in that top 5% of accounts and can't really be overmatched at all, in which case you're pretty much always going to have an "equal" fight

Well this doesn't compute at all.

1. K5s swap with A1s at the end of the season.
2. If you're losing 2/3rds of the time in K5 you'll get squished big time. This happened to me.
3. If this is true, you're winning some (and won a lot in the past) and reaping the daily crystals as a benefit.
4. 4 GL 7 million account in K5 is either not trying (congrats on the win) or part of this riptide K3-A3 group. It's all too easy getting caught in a squish/push scenario, which I think is happening to a lot of players.

Looks like you're 5-4 in your last 9 GAC matches. I'm not a mathematicist, but that doesn't seem like you're losing 2 out of 3 rounds.

I got over promoted, i knew that - and was in K4 and not doing too badly - not great 1/3 usually, missed the final round robin somehow and somehow got squished down to A3...so yeah, i my experience, fail to sign up for one and you'll get dumped down hard.
