I have a similar problem at 1.6 mil going against 2.2-ish GPs. Why have divisions if they are just going to throw some of us up way past our punching weight?
zetas, g12, mods....especially mods....is a game of strategy
maybe really is an unfair grouping but hardly worth quiting over
Incorrect. I could have been helping my guild getting my clones, troopers, geos, cup, lobot, etc up but instead I chased certain meta stuff to have the edge in the GA. Now it's just a waste. Getting really tired of the "clever" EA folks changing all the rules and mechanics of the game in efforts to "balance" it. This is a communistic idea and it DOES NOT WORK in competitive play.
This must be a sick joke. I'm 2.75m gp and in division 4.
Everyone else in my grouping should be in division 3.
just dont look at the GP look at the actual stats that matter. #of gear 12s, #of gear 11, gear 10 if necessary, #of zetas, #of speed mods, ect. GA was the biggest reason people complained before as it wasnt accurate. now that they changed it people suddenly think GP is the only thing reasonable to know a match up, which is stupid.
look into thier roasters first and then see. sure they might have a traya or revan but if you have more teams then them you can beat them off defense easily, or overpower their defense better
this is the new difference "GRAND ARENA matchmaking is based on the maximum power of the units a player is allowed to use based on the number of squads allowed to be deployed in this event."

then why have divisions? what's the point if i'm mid d4 and nearly battling top d3?

i think divisions are mainly to have more leader board spots but frankly i have no clue why they have it
So we're punished for not wasting gear on UROROROROROEOOEIEEIOEOE and having geared meta squads? Why is it my fault if someone has 4 million GP and their account looks laughable?
I am focused and I should not be punished for that. These guys all have the revans and trayas.
This is a kick to the teeth and if this GAC isn't canceled and fixed, I'm done with this game.
They've decided to have a broader roster and they should be punished for that? Pure GP isn't a great way to tell how strong someone's toon collection is. Should be based on specific toons and teams and what zetas they have to be more balanced. I understand you're probably more used to womping hard on other players because of a better curated collection but just consider it a challenge.
- you have nearly the same amount of zetas
- you have more than 3x the amount of g11 chars
- you have 9 less g12 chars
- you have >50 more 10+ speed mods
- you have more than double the amount of 15+ speed mods
- you have no 20+ speed mods but your opponent also just has 2
From what I can see this looks like a fair matchup, total GP ain't everything.

Exactly. What is happening here is that people are really complaining that they no longer have completely dominate matches because they have a much more focused and modded roster but equal GP.
Mine is massively whacked. I’m division 3. We have two division 2 people and a division 4 person. The difference between the division 4 guy and the division 2 guy is over a million. The division 4 guy doesn’t even have bb8 lol.

Relax. You're not punished in any way (although you may believe that every new content was created to punish you personaly). Your opponent most likely won't be using that URr'Or anyway. He might in a GAC with ships, but this one is without ships.

I played by the rules of the game. It was advantageous to strategically position my toons for gearing/leveling as the events came. But now because I was more strategic than others, I am forced to compete on a higher standard while people with a year ahead of me get to play down? Is it fair that this is all “power” based now and those of you with yoda lead, bastilla lead, vader lead, thrawn, nihilus, etc leads are all screwed because a zeta counts for 2000 power, regardless of whether its good or not or even used anymore? This is simply another CG miss.
The problem with grouping this way is that it gives larger gp groups a distinct advantage vs their lower gp counterparts. No matter how focused, if a larger gp has equal mods, they can field more quality teams and they win

Yay my second favorite typo returns!

Your stats seem better than his. I'd place my bet on you.
