As I, and no doubt countless other people mentioned weeks ago, basing matches on GP is a set-up for failure.
I have an opponent now, I have the same teams, but one 'small' problem: all his/her teams are completely superior. Minimum 10k GP higher, clearly higher gear etc. I used up four teams alone attacking one, the lowest powered, and still can't beat that team, and there are 4 others to beat higher/much higher GP.
Best solution: quit. There's no point stressing myself further.
Hop next time the tables are turned and my opponent is clearly weaker.

Grand arena NO ! !!!!!!
Us fluff guys can have fun in TB clicking deploy best .000000001 second of enjoyment EVER that the team offers us “flufferz”
I don't understand the point of this game mode. It's not fun, it doesn't give good rewards, and it further burdens us with even more time consumption.
Its horible worst thing in game but time consumption is 10000000% not one of the bad things about it.....
There is literally no time consumption over72 hrs
I wouldnt have a poblem with the rewards except them giving the winner the modulators geting more of the other 3 items is enough....
In my case, and similar for others, i have been playing since launch day 3 years ago, and have about 4.4 million GP. I've spent a lot of time and effort (not to mention money) building up all my characters. not only because i like collecting, but as a guild we'd made a conscious effort to max for TBs... as a guild we're in the 190+ million GP range. i have lots of teams, and several viable teams. What do i get matched with? some person who hasn't bothered to level up/gear up his bottom 1/4-1/3 of his roster- and the literal remainder are all G12, basically maxed. we have nearly the exact the same GP, but his active viable GP is as if they were probably 400k higher if they'd filled out their bottom roster like i and others have. the exact same thing happened on the first day when it was crashing.
i realize you need some method of match making, and i'm not sure what a better solution might be, but within the bounds of what we have, can you set it up to exclude from the calculation the bottom, say, 30% of our rosters, so it actually pairs equally??? maybe do a 1st calculation based on actual, so we're not paired with a 5MM uber whale, but run a 2nd calculation based on viable teams?
thanks
Have you seen the rewards from the prestigious quests? 5 zeta’s & 10 omega’s from ONE quest is good imo..
I realise that you'll have a long complex answer as to why you think you've not said that, but that's how your complaint reads.
His JTR Team got 3-manned by my CLS/Han/Chewie etc.
You DID get matched equally. You opponent just developed his roster better for TW/GA than you did.
I even managed to keep my traya team for offense, planning, that’s all..
I’m at 3.4 mil and in a 190 mil guild as well..
It almost sounds op that you fluffed your gp to make yourself look bigger And badder than your roster really is..
I'm probably closer to the OP in terms of more roster width than depth, but I also looked at what my opponent had and what teams he could conceivably use and chose accordingly. The top 10 or so of his roster were probably all higher than my highest, but my synergy teams carried the day. Course, he chose ZVader over ZPalpatine to lead his Empire/Sith defense so that helped.
If like me, you focus pretty much on arena, then you're set. If you focused on TB/Raids then probably not so much. GP is GP - how you built teams is your problem, not the Devs
I really don't think you understand what a flufferz is. Either that or you're providing too much information about yourself that I really didn't need to know!
With autodeploy, only need to set up defense once.
That said, total GP is very bad indicator for GA - I suspect a lot of the time this will produce rather onesided matchups. Of course, if the algorithms start matching winners with winners and losers with losers, things may get a bit more balanced eventually (not sure if that was the case, maybe its just my wishful thinking).
Yup. Literally two weeks before GA was announced, my guild asked everyone who could to fluff as much as possible so we could get the last star in LS TB, and we did! I ended up with just over 4M GP, to set me up for failure in GA and have to set an additional defensive squad. (wahhh wahhhhhhh)
To further reinforce 2smooth's point, I've been playing for just under a year (started just before last Christmas) and am at less than 2mil GP. My revan is 303 speed, with two others on my arena team 270+. At 3.4mil you should have the mod roster to deal with that.
That's not an issue of whale vs not.
