The old events pitted you fairly in both opponents and rivals in my honest opinion. Golden Time, changes in Rival system, changes in Colosseum in general skewed things around.

I had tons of fun battling similar play style players in previous Colosseums and without Golden Time and without people trying to game the system to get advantageous rival rankings, I got matched consistently with people who earned similar points and were ranked similarly.

Nowadays, even as an I and below ranked player, I will get ranked against a D, C, B, even A ranked player even though my point earnings are always mediocre and then invariably I get blown away by a huge point difference.

I'm sorry to say this but that sort of situation is just really unfair; people with similar play styles out to be battling one another and the matching algorithm needs to take overall rank and guild rank back into consideration.

I could game the system the same way by being opportunistic but what's the use if I still get paired up against someone who is ranked much much higher and who will have tons more TP to throw, guaranteed?
