GW Re-Jumble!

I'm surprised that I haven't seen more about this, but it really does need to be said.
Both me and a few of my guild-mates have had some major issues with GW recently. We're all decent-ish players (a few of us hover around 100~ in Arena), but the difficulty of our GW runs have gotten extreme.
I personally have about 4 G11 toons, 6-ish G10s and a bunch of everything below. Not a single G12. Not even a single bit of G12 gear.
However, I have come up against teams with multiple G12 characters every single day since its release. Pretty much all of them have also had multiple Zetas, and they were all super-teams (CLS and GK have been in pretty much every one).
Now, I may have about 5 Zetas, which obviously doesn't help with my GW runs, but it still doesn't exactly feel fair.
Before recently it wasn't irregular for me to go up against silly-weak teams like Chewie leads, but now it's gone so far to the other side of the spectrum that I can't even see those old teams with the Hubble Telescope!
Please, GW is meant to be very difficult to finish, not utterly impossible.

Forget not looking very hard, you haven't looked at all. There's multiple threads made about this every day.
It's based on your highest 5. Not sure why you're struggling so much. I have 3 G12 and it hasn't been too terrible. Difficult, but not bad.
Recruiting solid 3mil+ GP players, pm for info
I guess they must be shoved to some other area of the forums before I see them.
OP, check the other threads, there are many advices up down here.
That they do. The correct location.
The forum is more then the first page in general my friend look around, lots to see and learn.
Check out the sub forums or even use the search function.
GW is based on your power and is a % higher or lower depending on the node. Any of the player made teams that matches that % are chosen as the team for that node. Zetas, gear lvl, and other factors play into your power but not the decision of who you are matched against.
Not everyone will complete all nodes all the time, the devs have stated as much. I have looked at my total number of completions it's pretty bad.
You have hit the hump, we all hit it and you can get threw it, look around and ask for help there are many strategies out there to help you.
First off, I get that there's a lot of pages on the forum. Far too many. If the forum was used correctly and you wanted to stay up to date with everything you would have to look through a few dozen separate pages, yet there would only be a few new posts every day. If the entire forum was just the 'General' section, it would not be at all difficult to keep up with it, even if you only checked for 10 minutes each day.
Secondly, I get that it scales based on your power, my point is that it's scaling far too high. There is no possible way that I could beat these teams. Even if I played perfectly and used every single character I have, I could not beat any of these teams.
Thirdly, it's not so much that I'm only very occasionally beating it. I have not had a single Node 12 that I could possibly beat since a few days after CLS came out.
Finally, I realise that there are ways to get through this insane difficulty spike, but wouldn't it be better for everyone if the devs just smoothed out the spike so that it's more of a diagonal line instead of a diagonal line with a vertical cliff in the middle with the words 'Build zFinn Team' written on it?
This is all you need.

Every post made in the forums, in order.
I wish that were so, but trust me there are more then just "a few" new posts. When the forum was being misused and everything just got dumped into General, you couldn't keep up so many posts in one place nothing trends, it is just forgotten and someone would repeat the same post a little later. The goal (this is a new trend) is to keep things in the proper location and allow them to have a little more life. Keeping general open for new trending topics.
The scaling is the same as it has always been. GW is meant to test your whole roster. Everyone hits the hump, you can make it through.
Yes as metas change the GW challenge evolves. you used to be able to crush it with Ewoks. Daka was queen. and Dooku was the evilness that would wipe out your team.
It evolves because they are player made teams. The devs have said they dont expect everyone to beat it all the time and they are happy with the completion %.
The Devs dont make the spike, its just the nature of the mechanics. The mechanics of GW are great, its a self evolving, self scaling player built location. just an FYI zFinn isn't so great against the CLS teams due to his gaining/granting TM when rebels are hit. its still doable but a little harder now.
it can't always be easy, its nice to have a challenge in the game IMO.
I had the same issues that you have had. I was told by EA in dealing with another issue. That gw takes other users arena teams and has you face off against them. Likewise they face off against your arena team in gw. However ea reserves the right to "randomly change the level and power of the arena teams in GW. Further they stated even if you put a week team into arena it won't matter because EA i setting the levels of your opponents.
This probably explains how we were facing level 12 teams before we could get to level 12. How some team members had instant characters 7 stars that no one else could get to 7 stars. Facing teams that never even let you take a shot.
It's basically like going to a casino.
