I agree with the cloaks

As far as getting stomped....get a squad and get better. Saying that you are always stacked against 2 squads is an exaggeration. Well, that's if you're playing skirmish. Because a lot of corps farm in ambush constantly.

I have a problem with comparison to BF maps. I mean, BF maps are definitely sick and after the rush passes, that's it. Who logs in an fps game just for the maps? Well, maybe I could be wrong about affection for maps. I know (and not just me) there was an entire community played the same 3 dull maps for 2 years because the gameplay was that good.

Definitely need a market....but is that why you would leave?

You just supported my statement. Without a corp squad who plays active, you are fuck3d. And that is one reason we are leaving this game for the events. I swear we where having two organized squads a lot of time against us. I hope that the matchmaking system is not putting a squad full of randoms equal to a squad full of the same corp/alliance.

I don't know how it would be possible to match casual players vs casual players...unless there were modes governed by skill points. There are 12month vets that would get crushed by casuals.

Not skill points, never skillpoints. Not warpoints, never warpoints. Not meta level, never meta level. Primary variable is final position on the match leadedboard for every match played, weighted by who you had with you and who you had against you, weighted by win or loss. After that come lag. Personally i'd stop right there and see how that worked. That's how we all assess a match. Imagine our population didn't grow and we eventually recognized every merc. Could you recognize an incoming redline by looking at the names on the board at match start? Of course you could, many of us can do it even now. If we can do it now with only a sliver of the information availiable to CCP, it means our matchmaker is either making crap assumptions or excluding important information. Remember at this desperate stage we're not trying to predict good matches, we're just trying to avoid redline stomps most of the time. I support SP rollover.
