I’ve been playing this game for about 3-4 years now. I have 18 characters not 7* minus darth raven, darth traya, darth Malak. All the rest of the characters are 7*.
I have 29 gear 12, 44 gear 11, 19 gear 10, 21 gear 9. 2 character gear 5 (rose tiko and CUP) and the rest are gear 7 and 8.
Every character I have has maxed out ability material MK 3’s, and 51+/- a couple zetas. All characters have mods on them.
My galactic power total is 4,256,574 at the time of writing this.
Here’s the issue. I’ve been placed in grand arena with players that have 66+ gear 12 characters. There is absolutely no way I can win agains those teams. This has been an ongoing issue. I don’t want to stop playing grand arena but it’s no fun when you never win and always get wiped out. It’s like I’ve been punished for playing this game over the long run, I’m almost to the point where I’m going to join grand arena and then wait for the rewards. Playing the grand arena is tilting and ruins the fun factor of this game.
Is there anyway to improve the match making? It’s horrific.

The stronger your roster is (for GA), the better your strategy is and the better you execute your strategy, the higher chance you have of winning in GA.
Roster planning is as much a part of game strategy as anything else.
That said, I agree that the matchmaking often throws up completely unbeatable opponents (usually me, in my case) and that's not fun for anyone.

I don’t think it is fair to just point to bad roster planning. If GA was in the game since beginning than yes. But adding it after three years made it impossible for many players to fix their roasters without massive investments.
There were events and metas that have come and gone before some people playing the game now, even started. Many long-time players have many characters that needed to be geared and leveled for those events age metas. Character's whose kits and abilities are now very outdated wave virtually useless.
It's not about roster management - as there is no way to unlevel, ungear or unzeta those characters. And all of that gear adds zetas is actually dead weight in more ways than one. Would you rather have a 7*, g9, JKR with 1 zeta or a 7* g9 QGJ with 1 zeta? The answer is obvious - but both count the same in GP.

I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help

You have gotten all of the bloat out of the way now! From here on out, every single incremental GP will be from gearing your top PVP squads, so you will very quickly close the gap and the boost will become less and less significance.
