@nabokovfan87 Hey, thanks for the report!

Your division is locked in based on your Gp at the moment the season launched, which was about 3pm Pacific time yesterday.

You can’t make changes to your gp and click join and switch divisions - at that point you are locked in already. You need to have your GP below the threshold before the season launches.

For GA, the reward brackets are identical across divisions. .
The rewards are not identical across divisions. I am actually losing rewards by not being in a higher division.
Can you expound further? The end of season rewards are identical for every league on every division.
The league promotion rewards are also the same per division, and I believe the round rewards are identical too.
The only difference of which I'm aware is that divisions below div2 have fewer squads to defeat, so those divisions earn fewer credits. The rewards between div2-1 should be exactly the same.

From the same post you linked to previously:

Players will get a set of rewards that are a better fit for their lifecycle needs. A long-term goal of ours to get players more relevant rewards based on how far along they are in the game and what specific grinds they are facing. We are starting to pursue this conservatively at first in our Promotion Feat Rewards (consisting of crystals and a set amount of gear), but over time the Division system allows us to begin executing against this long-term goal to create a better sense of progression through various resource management challenges. (E.G. those of you who are over the Holoprojector hump get less bogged down in rewards you can’t use.) Again, we are only just beginning to execute on this goal, and we’ll be able to share more in the future after this update is in players’ hands.
Players should never feel incentivized to tank their GP before or during a Championship, since a higher GP division means better rewards. This, combined with the move away from raw GP in matchmaking, should result in less last-minute weirdness and closer, fairer matches.

@nabokovfan87 Yes, they said that, but it wasn’t accurate. The rewards are the same across all divisions.

Their statement is very accurate. "Rewards" is not as simple as saying the payout when the season ends. The way GAC works is that you have tiered rewards for league progression which are scaled to your GP. In terms of programming it is much cleaner to do so this way and that is why you have several reward mechanisms for GAC. The payoff at the end of the season is one box of rewards, the vast majority of rewards, zetas, omegas, etc. all happen through the rounds and by either individual GA rewards for placement or league progression. The main difference between divisions is those specific gear rewards (type and qty) which you receive when promoting in each league via the feats tab. This entire mechanism is there to encourage activity and pay better rewards for players who can compete efficiently.
