Start date should be definitely be taken into account. The current algorithm actually penalizes whales a little bit, since many of them buy gear and haven't had the time to build the mod depth required to compete.
I disagree a little bit with the bloated GP argument - there are only so many viable teams and only so much GP that's required. We need between 60 and 72 toons depending on GP in this GA. Even at the latter, assuming 20k per quality toon, you're looking at 1.54M of lean GP, which leaves a lot of wiggle room for bloat.
Matchmaking at lower GP levels is especially fraught, since there's much more variability in roster composition.
Fair doesn't mean competitive. I would love it if they gave you an option to be matched on GP or on a "roster quality". If it's the latter, then you're prizes are based on the quality of your roster. After all, why should a "low quality" 2.8M GP roster get the same prizes for winning against a lower level of competition probably at a lower GP than a "high quality" 2.8M GP lean roster should get?
