Yeah no kidding there’s no matchmaking. That was the point I was making. I was trying to say that they need to try and do something about that. You should try reading that more thoroughly next time.

So "they" should do something to make sure you have a better chance of winning? Why don't YOU do something to make sure you have a better chance of winning?

You quotet directly and yet nowhere in that quote or the original post does op say anything about a better chance of winning, so where do you get that?

Now I don't know about OP, but the forums are full of people explaining why they wish for a better matchmaking, and it has nothing to do with wanting to win more. I understand if someone is ok with the matchmaking or disagrees with a point someone makes but to interpret something into a post/comment, that was not said and to base the whole argument on that is not a good basis for a discussion.

I quoted the Op.... Not everything in a discussion requires having to only stick to the latest comment... maybe you should look at his many times the Op mentions "wins"....

Quite frankly, there is nothing more fair than the current system of wins versus losses determining how far up the ladder you go but I have yet to see someone post a complaint about "matchmaking" while acknowledging that or even showing the most basic understanding of how the system works.. If someone wants to make a thread asking for "better matchmaking" then I would submit that the onus is on them to understand the current system...

If we would like to have a discussion about how to penalize inactive high GP heavy roster players that allow themselves to fall down the ranks and how it diminishes game experience for lower players, I am all ears.... This thread isn't it.. .

Eta: There are enough people bringing up very valid points about what could be better for matchmaking and why... also why they dislike how it is at the moment. If you do not share their view that's your right, but they gave lots of good explanations one can easily understand and to say that they don't understand the system is also not right. There are many whom understand it perfectly. That does not mean they have to think it's good and that they can not point out the flaws they see.

Except there is no "matchmaking", how hard is that to understand? This thread and almost all of the others like it starts with the fallacy that CG is like the wizard of Oz behind the curtains pulling handles and pushing buttons to match one player against a specific set of other players based on some unknown mysterious criteria... That just isn't the way it works.. It is literally just your skill rating which YOU determine by winning or losing that determines where you sit on the ladder and who esle is around you on the same rung... Even OP started off with "In the last round I was placed against someone"....Nobody is placing anyone... CG has literally told us exactly how it works...

Now, if people would take a moment to do even the tiniest bit of research to learn the above, then maybe they could come forward with a potential solution instead of just complaining about a "problem" That being said, we all know that solution isn't GP based matchmaking...

Seriously we know there is no "matchmaking" so just to make you happy and so you can not go on and on about splitting hairs I will from now on put the word in ".... it really doesn't matter how you would call it, we all know what is meant. We get matched with others ny the system, call it what you will it is what it is and this is not the topic! We get matched with others, no matter the name, we know how it works so stop pretending noone knows what people are talking about. Again we know.

This doesn't change the fact that you interpreted something into op's comment that was not said and then based your argument on that.

It's exactly things like these that drown out a legitimate concern of players, just because some people decide to make a wordplay out of it. If you are fine with the "matchmaking", more power to you but please let others voice their opinion and stop drowning their voices with word semantics.

Whoever made a comment about what I said, my comment wasn’t about me winning more arena games, it was about making it more even for everyone in the game. I’m not a selfish individual like most people in this game.

Well that's an odd generalization to make.

"You guys put a package out with shards to help out in getting Jedi Master Kenobi but don’t include Wat. He’s the hardest one to get shards for. I have completed everything else for him except Wat 2 months ago and still have about 6 months of farming Wat shards to go before I can even try to go for Kenobi. Could you guys please do something for Wat like you did in the past?"

"You guys make that event way too hard. I can’t even beat it with relic 7 and 8 characters with high speed and turn meter. A couple of people in my guild can barely beat them with their GLs which is crazy. How can people get shards if they can’t beat the event?"

"How come you guys won’t put the Negotiator in the weekly shipments? You have put every other capital ship in there except that one."

"I am really tired of the rating system. I have a GP under 4 mil but I have been constantly placed against others with GPs over 4.5 with a crap ton of relics when I don’t. I have won maybe 2 out of my last 20 matches because I haven’t been matched fairly. Now this new matchup, I was demoted from Chromium 4 to 5 and was placed against everyone with GPs over 5mil. I haven’t been able to get good rewards in forever and it isn’t fair."

'My GP was good enough to go to the middle level but I accidentally hit the easy level but when beat the easy level the game won’t let me advance to the next level. Is it suppose to just keep me on easy?"

"I’m sorry, but it is ridiculous how hard the conquest is. I can never make it past the first easy section and I have some pretty good players/squads. I always get stuck on the second easy section. The way it is set up, only payers with relic 5 and above players will have the chance to get far and get the special shards for Ashoka and the ship."

"I only have two players with relics. Vader and Yoda. But I have a team full of Jedi with zetas and working on their relics. I don’t play in hard conquest, I’m in easy. It’s ridiculously hard for people who don’t have powerful squads and can’t get any good rewards."

"I’m sorry, but ami the only one who thinks that the Conquest should be a little more easier in the beginning? I can only make it through the first level of the easy one before I can’t go any further. It should t be that hard. Not everyone had highly powerful characters that can dominate and the power ups barely work, especially against Darth Malak."

So you feel sorry to player(s) that has 2m+ gp less than you, too?
