This is a real matchmaker, so with that, we will have veterans fighting veterans, and we kept the Teambuilder logic as it was already working admirably.
I don't deny it, this is "the thing" I wanted to get fixed the most since Open Beta. Squad queue syncing. Fixed also? No premades vs. Independents? Please do this too.
I like to know as well.

Matchmaking and Latency are two different things. I don't think a matchmaking fix will address the latency unless it includes region locking.

Even though Fanfest 2014 really did a number on the player count, matchmaking is still regarded by a lot of players here as the principle reason. Even after all the fixes that CCP Rattati and his team have made, almost everyone seems to agree that matchmaking is the biggest turn off for them and are still quiting Dust after all the improvements because of constant protostomping in pub matches where you are either the meat or the grinder. The nail or the hammer. No in between.
I feel that the player base will build itself back up if matchmaking is finally fixed and functional for once because then pub stomping will be kept to a minimum and will likely feel far less one-sided.

I've read previous posts regarding matchmaking and there had been, until this thread, a denial of the obvious. I don't know if to applaud you or to not ever trust what you write on the forums. In any case, I shall applaud your efforts into deploying the new code for matchmaking. Let's hope it works out. I have been very clear in all my explanation, that up until now, there was not a working Matchmaker. Since that logic is more difficult to fix, I pushed for the Teambuilder logic. I state facts and my opinions, and have never hidden either when I have discussed the Matchmaking logic.
And I applaud you and the rest of the Dev team for the effort in trying.
