OK, I know the matchmaking in GAC is a little wack, has weird and unknown ruled. But it's really going out of bounds. I am a F2P 2.69M player in Division 4 (1.49M characters, 1.2M ships), and got to play as the very first match (easiest right, as I haven't promoted to next league) against a player of 3.02M power (1.71M characters, 1.3M ships).
Maybe he is really spread out right? Not really. At the top I have 1 relic7 and 7 relic4 guys. He has 6 reclic7, 1 relic4, 1 relic3, 1 relic2.
Meta characters? He has both Revans, Malak, Grievous G11, Padme G11, Geos G12 all, sith trio, no GAS, and a not so high Negotiator fleet. I don't have any Revan unlocked, no GAS, Grievous R7 (main team), Padme G12, no geos, no sith trio, good rebels (Han + Chewy R4) and a good rebel fleet.
Could he be a spender so the game gives him good matches to keep him happy. Or to punish me for not spending? Is this the direction of the game? Matches predetermined?

As a spender, my matches are ridiculous too. My meta-ish teams with 3 or more relic characters are Padme, JKR, GG and CLS. My current opponent has all of those plus DRM, as well as vastly more g12 characters and more zetas.
If anything, you only shoot yourself in the foot by spending larger amounts of money on this game because your zetas and your mod collection don't keep up with your rapidly growing GP. At this point, my F2P opponents have 2 years of experience on me. 2 more years of mod and zeta farming make one hell of a difference.
Thats true! They should change the matchmaking and make it based upon GAC points in general.
Why matching people twice around GP? You do the GP seperation for the divisions. Now do the matchmaking based upon points.
So in the first round it's a free for all?
I have thought about that to be appropriate. It would make sense for the higher ranks to fight each other, not those 400k below.
I am a spender, although I get the matchup with many opponents 400k+ but their rosters and placements are not very good. The harder opponents for me have usually been closer to my gp
Makes no difference with them separating divisions, I'm in division 11 an I'm against a division 10.
Is there a screenshot?
Could have changed mid-GAC,
Then they won't have moved.
You should show us then. Cross division matchups are not possible.
Could you... show us it?
It's third round of GAC,
First round of GA.
They weren't in kyber at the beginning of the week. That's when you got matched.
*Despite it working within the league, I agree that leagues are way too broad.
You are matched by your top {x} character / ship GP. How you allocated that GP is completely under your control. None of this is new.
Those stats are worthless.
