It does make sense. Never thought about that before. But it's impossible for CCP to make the difference between an organized squad and a blueberry squad. Many players play together and are not in the same corp/alliance. I think tiered gamemode will solve that.. well, we'll see ^^

That actually makes sense, but we should probably come up with a solution better than "don't use squad finder." I shall ponder this one for awhile, got nothing now.

Matchmaking is difficult because the number of Dust gamers is pretty small. The top players would never find a game if they were always matched up against each other. If they did it would be (more or less) against the same people over and over again.

So, on the one side, we are shouted at because we go solo.
But now we are also hated because we use the squadfinder to not go solo?

Decide, for ****'s sake.

Or, better yet, nerf squads in pubs by making them smaller/removing them. Keep them for FW. That's how it's supposed to be, anyway.

people use squad finder?

So here's the thing: The Squad Finder is messing up the matchmaking. So please for the love of god stop using it to make sure the matches are more balanced.

The matchmaking matches squads against other squads. It doesn't care about the corp or anything. It takes the squad rating which is somehow calculated by the players who are in that squad and uses that to make the matches. Here's what happens when you use the squad finder:

You will play with blueberries who also use the squad finder. But it will be in no way different than playing with normal blueberries except that you may get one additional orbital out of it due to squad points. Won't help you though, because the matchmaking will match your blueberry squad against corp squads with a similar rating. But these corp squads talk with each other. They are organized, contrary to your squad consisting of 6 blueberries. That's why you will get stomped and that's the reason why people always say the matchmaking isn't working. The matchmaking is working as intended as CCP has said very often. But the matchmaking doesn't care if your squad consists of 6 people using the squad finder or of 6 people knowing and talking with each other who are in the same corp.

So for the love of god: If you don't want to play with people you know then just go in solo. It's less frustrating for everyone this way.

Tl;Dr: Squad finder sucks. Don't use it.
