Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

Gladiator Circuit Should Matcmake according To Prestige or Total Hero Rating

As the VT matchmaking happens according to prestige, GC should use the same principles. Total Hero Rating could also be the criteria.
There are so many stacked rosters. It's not fair matching against them with smaller rosters. They should be in their own weight classes.

I love how people factor Rating as such an important stat.. 🤣

VT should use the same principles as GC, and have matchmaking based only on your tier, as any serious game does for competitive modes.
Instead of asking for more, you should thank Kabam for still ignoring all this, allowing small accounts to easy reach GC, in disadvantage of many bigger accounts, that get stuck at VT.
Asking Prestige matchmaking to extend to GC is absurd and greedy.
This is literally asking UC accounts to be able to reach Celestial 1, by only fighting each other 😂
As for the suggestions of separating Players based on class and having a separate competition, the Titanic was separated by classes. 2500 people died as a result of it, and it's currently eroding at the bottom of the Atlantic.
It's not a far reach to give people a fair start to the competition and still have everyone in the same system. We don't need an entirely separate game created just because people have achieved a certain point of growth.
To start, ~1500 people died on the titanic, not 2500. Primarily because there weren't enough lifeboats by the way, not that tosh about classes.
They didn't have enough lifeboats because they thought that it made the decks too cluttered for one specific class, and that class wouldn't enjoy themselves as much if the regulations were met.
Prioritising one classes' enjoyment over every other reasonable metric is why 1500 people died and the titanic is rusting at the bottom of the Atlantic, so maybe we should stop doing that?
What you're off on is prioritizing one class's enjoyment is exactly what a lack of a starting point does. You're also correct we should stop doing that. For example, allowing the top to have easy prey at the beginning for their own propulsion, thereby ruining the reasonable metrics of people earlier on.
Perhaps if MCoC were BGs only, there might be a stronger argument to use equity as a guiding principle so players kept playing the game. But it isn’t—in fact, there are so many modes it is nearly impossible to play all of them without devoting significant time each day to them all. And they all have their separate valuable currencies and prizes.
Admittedly, BGs give out really good prizes. But droves of players made it through all of Story Quest, each Back Issue, SoP, Abyss, Labyrinth and other content as well as to every title in game without any BG loot at all. You don’t need BGs to complete available content.
However…if handicapping BGs is the direction the team wants to go, don’t just stop at small accounts. Make a Seniors League for all of us semi-retired geezers who no longer play at the loftiest levels any more—replete, of course, with the same lofty prizes that Lagacy and Beroman get. After all, it’s only fair.

You legitimately make me wonder if you were camped out in a tent on wall street during the 99% movement holding a Bernie Sanders sign.
In any system, where everyone is competing for the same pool of rewards, everyone should be subject to competing against everyone else. That is the fundamental definition of fairness.
I think everyone would give a great deal more credibility to your posts if you started a new thread asking Kabam to create separate progression based brackets in BG, rather than continuing to simply claim you don't want to fight stronger people.
And for crying out loud, the system would level itself out anyway. If the matches were random, those stronger accounts would advance to GC faster leaving the weaker accounts remaining in VT for you to fight against. Bottom line, you'd still get to GC, you just wouldn't have a 1-2 week head start on accounts you never had to face that are significantly stronger than yours.
Advocating for anything else is a veiled request for a free ride to rewards you couldn't get in a "fair" system.
