Pairing remains unfair

My MK level is 2 on enforcer, I am using gear with a total score of only 3100-3400 depending on items, my infamy is around 800 and I am getting paired against MK5's with 4-5K HP while I have 1500. I just don't see how this pairing is fair. Even when I kick butt, its hard to consistently remain near the top of the group even if I dodge and weave really well since one shot usually kills me. If there was some kind of normalization when a person who is paired with a much lower gear score gets grossed up tickets because of the disadvantage they face, which does not happen. In fact, I have seen the opposite. I have seen several instances where I did more dmg than my team and got more kills yet received less tickets (by 1). This really doesn't make sense.

 

Hello All,
I have been playing battle bay for a while and I don't understand why they cannot come up with fair event pairing. I am a MK6, captain level 41. I am constantly getting paired with people who are 1500-3000 gear score higher than me and they are level 50. I fight my best and get creamed by these much stronger ships and when it comes to pay out, I get 6 coins with a win or 3-4 coins with a loss. Where is the upside or fairness. I could see fair being one of two possibilities:

1). pair me with people very close to my gear score so we have the same opportunities in battle to do damage / kill opponents since our equipment is of similar strength
2). if you pair people with those of significantly higher gear score and captain level, you need to inflate the coins for any level of damage

It is increasingly frustrating to fight battle after battle with a Hugh disadvantage and to have no possibility of reward at the end. If battle bay would publish information detailing how they pair, at least we would all have the same opportunity to manipulate our gear to get into a fair fight, but this is about the 10th event in a row where I keep getting paired with such a disadvantage and I am quite tired of it and know a lot of other people who are too. If you know anything about the secret pairing logic, please share. I would really like to know what it is because it is not gear score, captain level, HP or infamy so I am at a loss for how I am getting paired like this.

Thank you,

Frustrated and Annoyed

 

It works ONLY on gear score, which is why you are paired this way. While I do not consider the so called seal clubbers cheaters as they are working within the system rules, gear score can be manipulated. A ship with lv50 weapons but level 10 shields will destroy a ship with level 30 everything. Rovio needs to refine their gear score with # of battles, captain level, etc to avoid this unbalance.

Inflation of number of coins could serve a purpose by rewarding players MORE if they have a higher gear score. Logic now is that lower gear score gives easier coins for high players. We need a multiplier so that players are pushed to use more of their best stuff.

You have two options at this point. Join them and equip some lower level weapons to lower your gear score, or you push on and eventually you will swap places and win all the matches.
