this is completly unfair, i absolutly refuse to join full squads and use comms and every single time a squad of 6 with mics is on the other team i get completly stomped because nobody on my team is talking to each other!!!!


they wreck me with militia gear just because they talk to each other and i demand CCP does something about this.

the matchmaking is horrible CCP it should only alow people to play solo so that i may wreck everyone with my 10mil SP and noobs shouldnt be able to co-ordinate in order to challenge my SP supremacy.

you really need to prevent people from being able to squad up because i keep getting stomped by organised squads even though i refuse to actually use teamwork against them

matchmaking is broken CCP everything should be gear and SP based so that i dont have to talk to anyone and anyone new joining the game will be seriously gimped against me.

(sarcasim, seriously folks matchmaking actually works, its just that you have to be in a squad actually using teamwork to see it)

Uh, matchmaking works?
My full squad was on the same team as another full squad today. We were both running proto gear.
On the other team were militia newberries.

Sadly, this is at the heart of 95% of the QQ on these forums.

In my opinion, as obviously sarcastic as that was, I think there was a point made there. You know, I feel bad when I'm fully squad-ed up (which is rare) and we stomp the enemy, especially since it seems whenever that happens, there is another full squad on our team. On the enemy team? Zip. And I've also been on the other end of that scenario. That's just obnoxious.

You say it's as easy as "squad up," and "use teamwork." What about the people with no mics? Also, as I'm sure you've figured out, there are a great many people out there who either seem to refuse to team up with others, (There are some people who lock their squads, with only them in it,) or just seem to not understand the concept. What of the people left in the dust, (pun intended), who aren't a part of a corp? What of the people who don't know anyone, who try to make a squad, and ultimately can't bother anyone on their team to join?

All I'm saying is, would it really be that hard to balance teams based on squad size? So the "teamwork," can be even on both sides? Or should we continue to let the first timers get utterly stomped by organized proto-squads?

This is a really hard issue to fix because not everyone wants to squad up, nor should everyone be required to squad up just to win. There are some nights where I just want to get a couple of quick matches in before sleeping and the last thing I want to hear is somebody swearing into my ear.

If the new matchmaking system works as intended, it'll effectively nerf teamwork by putting protosquads in with protosquads.

Aw man, my friend literally said he was going to make a thread like this yesterday :/
