I posted this on another thread. But it seems appropriate here as well.


I don't like separating players based on age of the character, war points or SP.

However, for FW, an interesting idea that will probably never happen would be to arrange matches based on players Standings.

For instance all Caldari players at LVL 3 standing would go against Gal Players at LVL 3. Maybe even allow one level up and down to increase match frequency. So level 2,3,4 would be in the same matches. But a LVL 10 player should never play a LVL 3 player.

This would solve some of the problems in FW. Mainly the fact that soooo many players play for Gallente. There are probably tons of them with high level standings since they almost always win, meanwhile most Caldari players have much lower standings, generally speaking, since it is so much harder to win for Caldari.

So the tons of players that spammed Gal FW and have high standing will have to wait even longer for a match. finding 16 players on the caldari side at level 8,9,10 will be much harder than on the Gallente side.

Or maybe just have 3 tiers. Lvl 1-3 fight together, Lvl 4-6 fight together, and 7-10 fight together. That would probably be the simplest way to prevent newberries getting mixed in with better players every single game.

This means the masses playing for the same 2 sides all the time will have to wait even longer to get a match, or they will have to suck it up and fight for the underdog side.

That could maybe help balance out the very lopsided state FW is currently in.
