OMG the match making in GAC is the worst!
I do not have a GL, but all my opponents have them. Out of the last 3 rounds in GAC all my opponents have a GL. And yes they all set them on defence knowing there is nothing I can do. I do not have...

GAC matches on top {x} toon GP, not full roster GP. Been that way since GA first evolved into GAC.

You know what else he has been this way since the GAC evolution? The people warning that GP isn't a fair or balanced gauge to use for a matchmaking system. In theory it would work fine but in reality.... Nope. Everyone who defends this system goes on acting like GAC is the ONLY game mode this game offers.
Actually people have been complaining about GP matchmaking since GA began. The problem is that there really isn't a viable alternative.
You cannot calculate a meaningful expression of combat power for individual toons / ships because you cannot quantify complex abilities, nor can you account for the synergy of multiple different character combinations.
Attempting to match based on the presence / absence of certain toons / ships gets crazy very quickly once you consider the number of characters / ships which could be considered problematic by players at difference GP levels.
And ignoring GP in matchmaking would invariably lead to the higher GP rosters in each division dominating its top ranks, leaving good players who happen to be at the low end of the GP range with little hope and encouraging GP sandbagging st the top of each division's GP range.
GP is a measure of resource investment so it matches players with rosters of similar investment level. How those players invested their resources was up to them. If they invested well they will have an advantage, if they invested poorly they will be at a disadvantage.
