Yet, you still worry about it?

Tell me there are so few Division 3 players that this is necessary...

The question is not how many players are in the division but how many players meet the matching criteria. If you have a particularly high or low “top X” GP for your division then there will be correspondingly fewer options to match you against and you will be more likely to see the same people more than once. Once you move up to d2 the issue will probably go away.

They actually match you with just random people in your division. It doesn’t matter we’re you stand in the division. I’m at 1.7 M GP and am playing players exceeding 2M GP

Nope. For each GA within a GAC you are matched within your division+league based on your top {x} character/ship GP.

Total roster GP is only used at the start of the GAC to determine your division.

I can second that. It does matter how your roster looks like. The other thing I noticed is that I'm always matched with opponents, who have similar arena and ship arena ranking like me. Might be related to roster as well.

Btw. I also met the same guy twice in a GAC. First time I lost due to a misplay. Second time I won (I was also much more motivated to take revenge :smiley: )

Matches are not based on arena ranks. Matching rank is a coincidence.

If I recall correctly, that‘s not what I said. I just said I’m top10 in arena and ship arena everyday. And I’m always getting matched with opponents who are top10 as well. Guess what, might be related to the roster we have.

Yes High arena rank generally means a highly relic'd arena squad which would inflate your GAC matchmaking GP and get you matched with similar opponents.

I didn't say it was.

Might be. Or might not. I've been matched with players with all sorts of ranks (within the range of active players on 4 year old shards).
