A fair grand arena match...?

some good has come out of this. I’m casual. I totally suck, (I win roughly every other match in regular arena - usually place around 140, and always top 200) there I can choose teams where I have a shot at winning. What I was running into in GA is match after match after match with opponents who have superior toons to me.

I am outclassed, and outplayed constantly. Yet I have seen some NEWER PLAYERS in my guild with much SLIMMER rosters- ones that aren’t bloated with old, useless toons that I had maxxed out from four years ago, which nobody would bother with today. Yet these same players still have rosters that include top teams like DR/DM - and these guys are in div 6, with a lower GP, (because most of their roster is minimized) and they are murdering every matchup .. getting first place in every GA. To me, you can’t just say: “that’s your fault that you didn’t manage your resources properly dude” .. How was I supposed to know four years ago that making Biggs, wedge, and Princess Leia g12 was a mistake? At one point wiggs was very useful and deadly.

This is what leads me to saying: “can I dump my Phoenix squad “ because I find them fairly useless. I maxxed them out for ship combat, which was fine for a while.. (I used to regularly finish in the top ten) , I end up playing catch-up for months .. and when HMF was released.. I was instantly, and immediately out of the running for competitive ship combat.. put out of business by that one single ship.

“Well, farm it” you say

Im farming 15 annoying toons, and their gear just to get the ones that I actually want. it sucks, and it heavily favours those who lay down a wad of dough for this game every month. Obviously they pay for their advantage.. if I feel like coming here to complain or rant about it, too bad for you. I have a life outside of this gam

So, to those of you who made smug, arrogant replies, maybe you might feel differently if your experience in GA was similar to mine.. where you feel like every match is hopeless.. where your g12 toons > your opponent’s g12 toons.. and every opponent seems to already have the toons you are so desperately trying to get..

I KNOW I can watch videos.. and read a ton of stuff, and theory craft etc etc etc. but I don’t have that kind of time to spare most days. If you guys can do that - great! So why can’t I ever seem to get matched with another amateur, casual player like me? It feels like my opponents are always much more hardcore than me..

I SAID I ALWAYS LOSE BECAUSE MY OPPONENTS ATE ALL P2W. I said quite clearly that I WAS OUTPLAYED. Also, SAID I THINK I AM ENTITLED TO WIN EVERY MATCH..

since I’m WELL ESTABLISHED it might be nice to OCCASIONALLY be matched up with someone

And thanks to Waqui - he was the one who helped. :)

And to the arrogant players who just talk down, well - you know where to go.
