Non GL vs GL

The point here is you have all those extra characters while I do not. That's why you are able to win, sometimes. Am I not a player just like you? Do I not deserve an even match up like everyone else. Please tell me how I am wrong.

I can't win. That's not fair.

Gac is a mode where strategy plays an important part. The point of strategy is getting you in a position to fight an unfair battle. So players who used about the same amount of resources to build their top 80 are matched against each other. The ones who made the ‘best’ use of their resources have the best army and start the battle with an advantage, sometimes a huge one if the opponent made questionable choices (regarding building a gac army, there are no bad choices per se imo). However, there is a point to make in the fact that those choices are definite as you can’t devolve a character. But matchmaking does it job as it allows strategy to play a central mode in the game mode imo.

That would be fine if I could win. 3 GLs vs no GLs. I can't win. That's not fair.

Yes, I agree with this. I'm just saying altering the affect on GP for certain characters wouldn't be a bad thing. I would still be going for GLs just like everyone else. I just think that I should be matched with an opponent who is truly at the same level. I can't win. That's not fair.

I don't understand why you keep saying you can't win and blame it on the fact that you do not have a GL. I have on many occasions been matched against opponents with a GL far before I had mine and I've managed to find a way to win in most of them. There are counters that work in almost every case (Rey 3v3 kinda sucks), you just have to do a little research and perhaps some mod work before signing up for GAC.

Sure, it can happen, on occasion, though highly unlikely, but why is it fair to give me such and overpowered opponent in the first place?

You're confused as to why I can't win without a GL? Really?

I went back through my GAC history to before I had a GL to find a few rounds from one season where I was matched up against GL's. One required 2 battles, but I still won the round so yes, I'm confused. Do I win every time I'm matched against a GL? No, but I definitely win more than I lose.

A few rounds from one season? You cherry picked. You also have GAS and DR/BSF/Malak. I do not.

3 GLs vs no GLs. I can't win. That is not fair. Anyone got anything better than that to throw at me? I'm not wrong!

It’s beyond obvious that there’s no point carrying this on anymore.

You’ve made up your mind and won’t be convinced otherwise. But you’re doing nothing to convince those who disagree with you that you’re right, either.

You few people have made up your minds. All I am doing is asking a question that none of you seem to be able to answer.

3 GLs against none. I can't win. What part of that reasoning do you not understand? If you can't think of any reason to tell me I'm wrong, and nobody has as of yet, then just let it be.

They proved you wrong. In case you forgot what you claimed here's your OP:

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! WHY?!

No, you're not right. You're wrong. You're also wrong when you claim that you can't catch up. You can always stop making choices that hurt your match-up and slowly improve your roster and your performance in GAC. It will take time. The deeper you dug your hole the longer time it will take to climb back up. However, it's doable. Keep digging or start climbing back up - it's your choice.

Incorrect. Nobody proved me wrong, and just saying I'm wrong with nothing to back it up does nothing. I can't win. That is not fair.

I have altered my decisionmaking to get GLs and the situation gets steadily more difficult. There is no obvious way out of this.

It's ok if you wanna develop fun (but inferior in pvp) chars and don't wanna chase the meta teams. Just stop whining about being smashed in a competetive pvp mode then. I don't buy myself an off-road car and take it to the race track expecting to get a top lap time competing with race cars.

So you should compete with other off-road cars then? As in fair competition? Thanks for supporting me.

You made your choices. We all were. Now you complain why because of your decisions, you don't win as much.
Furthermore- you refuse to listen to the ways correcting your decisions.

Guess what? people don't relic Rose Tico, RP, Phasma, C3PO & Darth Sidious because the like it- they do it, they invest over 400k gp in order to get an advantage in Arena/GAC/Assaults and now Conquest too.

No matter how you decide to invest your resources, it come with a price. And you can pretend you don't know the price because the mechanics of GAC matchmaking was well known for over a year. You demand everyting will bend to you will and called it fair, but no, fair is letting people know how GAC matchmaking work, how the game works, and then give everyone the option to choose their own path. Everyone started from the very same point, and each one develop his rosters & ship by gis own free will. That's fair

That is a terrible analogy. How does eating candy and getting sick have anything to do with fair competition?

I can just as easily say you demand everything to bend to your will. I'm just saying I have a point. When people try to tell me I'm wrong, we then have a problem.

You can dig yourself out of the hole you’ve dug, it’s not too late. As @TVF said, get your own GL(s). When i started gac I hated it bc I always lost, then I got better about adjusting my roster choices to make gac easier for me, which made matchups easier overall and winning much easier.

Recently I took a bunch of chars to r5 for crancor, and now I’m getting “bad” (aka bad for me due to the decisions I made) matchups and not winning as much.

Now that I have plenty of crancor toons I can go back to being more selective on my choices, which will make gac easier again.

We can complain about gac mm rules, but they are what they are. We can either adjust our behavior or not, just don’t be surprised or upset at the very predictable outcome.

I am getting my own GL, but my opponents keep getting more difficult. I can't catch up.

What you are missing is that you won’t be fighting the same opponents. It’s not like you have 0 GL’s they have 1 then you have 1 they have 2 so you can’t catch up. Once you start focusing your roster you will start becoming more on par with the enemies you fase.

Now, if someone took Ewoks Phoenix and empire to r7, with no gl, it’s going to take much longer to right the ship.

Also, when you go for a gl, horde the gear and do things all at once. Taking kru and Hux to relic while your redboi is 5* (and same goes for relic’ing some while others aren’t ready to relic, like g11) will make gac even harder.

It does not seem that way. I have only seen evidence to the contrary.

But my bigger issue is why we can't have an even playing field regardless of where we are in progression. Fairness is the ideal after all.

Because you made your choices. We all did. Get a GL.

I made choices. You made choices. We all made choices. The game does not warn of the implications of such.

Yes it does

Where.

Info screen.

This. And discussed ad nauseum here and in most guild chats, Youtubers, etc.

Not finding it. Something like that should be intuitively obvious in game, and I shouldn't have to consult the opinions of people like you. You do not get to decide.

3 GLs against none. I can't win. How is that fair?

If you are in div 1 with almost 6mil GP and don’t have the characters you listed, that’s on you. I took a quick look at your GAC history and there seem to be a fair number of teams you have trouble with so I’m pretty sure having a couple GL’s will change little. You have rounds where the score is tied simply because neither of you even bothered to attack. You lost that one because they had too many GL’s?

The system is designed around a progression of metas that have a singular purpose of making CG money. I’m pretty sure they are not going to change the matchmaking to specifically group players who choose to ignore the key characters in those metas simply because it would remove one of the key incentives to get those characters.

But as has been stated already, we are unlikely to change your mind so I’ll bow out at this point.

Most because of the time I don't participate, or hardly participate because why would I? The matchmaking is terrible. I'll trade you one straw man for another, though.

You say this game is geared toward making money? So you're saying it's a scam?

I'll have to agree with you there because fair competition was never the point. I don't expect it to change. That's why I've had enough of this game. It's a scam. I'm done.

You have not told me I'm wrong, nor do you have such authority.

True competition is dependent of fairness. Otherwise, what's the point of engaging? How is 3 GLs against none fair? Surely, you can do better than just saying "nope." Do you really think that is going to convince me? Your arguments are baseless and weak. You amuse me.
