So I decidd to see what people meant by matchmaking being bad.. Lmfao no wonder new players don't stay, it'd be one thing if they were solo but a squad seriously? Is this what you consider balanced? I understand why we don't keep new players and I don't blame them for leaving. Here this should help a squad can only join battles when another squad is on the other side.
OP you highlight a real issue but your example is nowhere near as bad as it gets some nights.
I was in an ambush last week where our team scored a total of 400 wp. I had 350 of it and second place had 50. Most of my points were the result of running for the hills and dropping uplinks in the hope our team could regroup on higher ground. It didn't work. The other team bunny hopped and strafed their way up the hill and ate our collective lunches loosing 3 clones in the process.
There was a substantial quantity of standard and frontline suits when I panned around and judging from they way they acted most were noobs. (Granted some of those might have been vets who just didn't see the point of losing any more isk.)
Is this the game working as it is designed. Absolutely.
Is this game designed to maintain a steady number of players evolving like those of us from the Betas? No F@$king way!
There will always be those that, if they can, will try every night to kick the dicks off of the other team because they can.
There will always be those who take advantage of small or even large glitch like advantages.
There will always be those with 5X, 10X more SP and the advantages that come with it.
But to all those with 40M+ SP I point out that we never had to experience the disparity between noob and vet in the Betas that exist for new players today.
Some would point out that things are the way the way they because it emulates the harsh reality of the EVE universe. Okay. I'll grant you that but point out that Dust is only connected to the EVE universe via lore and environment. We don't actually have any effect on what happens in that universe. It is all made up and the points don't matter.
So why not make the necessary changes to maintain and build a sustainable player base?

Some of us learned from being here a long time and others came naturally cuz this is our forte.. I do not think she is bad but just didn't understand anything. Something I have been doing lately is making solo squads and allowing blues in it so I can help I know it's too late now and won't help much but I still do it.
Much respect for still trying to help.
Something none of the habitual stompers even give thought to....

Don't grant them anything. Even EVE has a relatively safe zone for new players; hell, I spent my entire extended free trail (almost a month) without running into a single hostile player.
But is a month enough time in this game....If you don't score wp you don't get sp. We have the advantages of time, failure and SP to keep our losses in check.
