Non GL vs GL
I have been playing this game from the beginning. Why. WHY are you pairing non GL rosters with GL rosters in GAC. It is impossible! I'm raging and proud of it because I'm right. Come at me you cowards...

I don't see anyone say "no it's perfect". I just read a lot of posts saying the matchmaking is what it is and you have the control over what chars you want to develop. So if you want to be more successful in GAC start improving your roster accordingly - and that means getting meta chars and GL's and not relic 7 a Stormtrooper Han or zeta a Farmboy Luke.
If nobody is saying "its perfect." Then why the backlash against "it could be better?" Also, don't tell me what to do with my roster. Your opinion is as good as mine.
There’s no backlash against “it could be better”, because what you’re suggesting is worse.
Why is it worse? Since you know.
This has been explained in this thread more than once.
Right now people are matched based on criteria that they are in control of: how they choose to utilise equivalent resources. This is fair - no matter how many times you state the contrary.
What you are proposing would have 2 negative impacts:
- it would, to some extent, incentivise people to not farm for and unlock a GL. If the reward for unlocking a GL is to instantly be plunged into a world where you only ever meet other GL owners, some users might decide not to bother.
- it would increase the chances of lopsided matches. The minute matchmaking focuses on a binary “GL v no GL” check as the primary criteria, the more likely it is that people who have allocated a different amount of resources get matched.
You dismissed this earlier as “ad hominem”, but anyone proposing a change to an existing system really should address hypothetical situations that their adjustment would create. So, have another go...
- imagine someone with your current roster reliced another 40 characters without unlocking a GL. There is no one with an even partially similar roster without a GL. Who do you match them with?
- imagine someone new to the game with laser focus, who defies the odds and unlocks their first GL without any other relic characters other than the requirements. Is it “fair” to match them with other 1 GL owners who have much more rounded rosters?
You’re basing your entire stance on GLs being an insurmountable win condition between the haves and have nots. This is not the reality.
Han: Let him have it. It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir. Nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han: That’s cause a droid don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookiee win.
