Wasn't Q Synching an exploitation? Or one of their "Unintended Game Designs that players meta'd with and is now part of the game...?" Obviously players can't answer this, only CPM and CCP can...

Reason for my query is that I had heard that Queue Synchronizing was an exploit.

There is a wide gulf of difference between an exploit and buncha forum warriors being pissed off that you can do it.

This is a case of the latter. FW was always stomp central, no getting around it. Now people are absolutely outraged about it precisely because losing in facwar is a thorough waste of booster aurum so they're getting crap payout for massive effort.

The second part is CCP put in something worth going after.

And now they are stuck getting crapped on while the enemy consistently gets easy wins.

So rather than organizing, forming facwar corps squadding up and responding in kind they are screaming that it is unfair that the enemy stack the odds in their favor.

Its basically the mating call of the no-cooperation-ever forum warriors.

^I think the idea of team deployments / patrols has merit True, but I sincerely feel that with the lack of matchmaking that currently exists queue syncing is gaming the system.

Of all the idodic ideas on this forum board I've ever read, this one HAS to take the cake. After reading the OP I can offically say that I'm ashamed and embarrased to be a DUST 514 player

For starters, I have a very hard time believing that Minmatar FW players are complaining about getting stomped considering how (unlike the Caldari) their Militia is actually organized and at the risk of sounding crude, stomping. If you could however, please tell us at least 16 Matari players who were complaigning about FW to the point where Mu matchmaking is needed.

1. The reason why FW isn't as popular as PUBs is simply because most players are already invested into the gear they want, and can fair better off the welfare checks ISK payouts in PUBs.

2. The only "rare" items in the LP store require Operation V, meaning that new players wouldn't be able to access them anyways. Not that a new player should be participating in FW as they won't have the ability to contribute to their team.

3. That could easily be solved with a change to EOM payouts.

4. That behavior is found in all game-modes, however when I'm in MM I haven't seen anyone using the tactics that you described (except EQ spam, which is being addressed atm). Not to mention that it's very counterproductive as it increases the amount of time the match takes.

5. Could easily be solved by implementing "Patrols" and making them the only ones able to send attacks to FW districts.

6. I've seen q-syncs from corps of many different races and ethnicities, be it American, British, Brazilian, Japanese, Latino, French, etc. I'm fairly positive that the language barrier in FW isn't significant enough to be an issue.

FW is supposed to reward an organized team over solo players, as it's main point (only point, really) is to work with your Militia to further the goals and objectives of your Faction. It is not a place for disorganized and terrible players to farm LP with ease. If you want to be rewarded for playing, then you should be "stacking teams" as your opposing Militia is likely to do the same (something you should be familiar with as a dedicated FW player).

You do realize that Mu isn't a matchmaker, but a team-balancer right? Meaning, the first 16 players who que for one faction are still going to be placed in the same match, but simply have their squads in a different order.

That wouldn't do anything to change the current situation.

Isn't this assuming that Mu is working in the first place?

Please implement mu matchmaking in fw
