The new matchmaking sucks. Revert to old. There just aren't enough players to have a "new matchmaking" system in effect. |

I was added into the same battle multiple times after leaving it multiple times this morning.
I think we are down to running one battle in each mode on regular cycles.
This game is hurting bad. |

Newsflash: Old matchmaking system is the very reason there aren't enough players right now for the new one to work.

Yes I bitched about being thrown into a losing battle. You know what though. That battle was almost over. Now I am getting thrown into a losing battle from the start. I see the warbarge and then 10-14 3 players leave. 7-14... another player leaves. and another player leaves.... 5-14. . . Blah has joined the battle, oh he's red...........5-15..... It's dumb. Just get rid of it and let us stomp noobs again and let the noobs skill up and then stomp other noobs. That is what the EVE universe is. |

Yeah, a meta based matchmaking. We don't have that. What we have now is a bastardization of matchmaking that pits, well I don't know how it works because I have never seen it actually work. It works by just not filling games up. That is how it works. |

According to the infinite number of complaints I heard from players quitting Dust, the old matchmaking system was the biggest turn off for them.

Why should I be forced to fight a battle I don't want to fight? If you want to go all risk v reward isn't the ability to leave battle and not be placed in it again the pinnacle of choosing your fight? |

Many players are leaving battle cause reasons, before you were put into that battle a little later or before you noticed them leave.
Rattati is probably trying to find a way to fix or bandage fix the problem. |

In a game that gear matters? That faucet has been turned off. But now we have more BPOs than ever. See the thing I said a year ago is now happening. I am happy because it gives both ends recourse. Granted I only have 45 mil SP but. I think it should be everyone vs everyone. Those matches were way better than what we have now. Unless you play on a sunday. Sunday fills up all brackets. |

I don't know about you and how your experience was in the past, but I had an extremely bad experience with the old matchmaking system compared to now. And I mean really bad. Just constantly being ground the dust or fed through a meat grinder or being the nail to the hammer because Scotty didn't know how to match me up properly back then. I'm actually experiencing better matches with the new system, though the team composition does tend to lean on the lopside from time to time because of quitters.

That doesn't matter anymore. They left already.
What matters now is that PC Districts are no longer ATM machines for corps to milk from like a cash cow and I'm starting to see a little more in regards to ISK sinks especially with Faction Warfare, trade fees, etc. Though I think there needs to be more sinks to make sure that the ISK flow is kept under control. I don't know how much ISK from the old District ATM days is still floating around today. I just hope it's in decline at this point.

Searched almost an full hour total today without any deployment. Dust isnt my favourite game atm so i just wanna login and grind for a key or two, but no. All I get is endless searches for battle.
I have hope though, two days ago I actually were in an ambush.

I just finished a game that started as a 10 vs 15. Another game I played prior to it was 8 vs 13. I never seem to have a 'good' match, only games that quickly become lopsided because of uneven teams.
Players leaving battle is a problem itself, but from what I've faced, teams are usually uneven to begin with.

LOL Why would I stay in a losing already over match? If I get put in more than half through,,I am gone. There is no isk to be made and no sp to be earned in that short of a time period. Use your brain.

I think today was kind of anomalies due to the recently deployed fixes.

I have yet to see a difference. Is it because I am on Automatic server selection?
CCP needs to just do auto select for everyone and further matchmake based on ping and whether your corp name is spanish or asian vs english. That'd pretty much take care of the problem right there.

You have been in DUST UNI since I was and I know back then we were loading up matches. Don't tell me that your old MM experience was all bad because I know that is a lie.
You would see that whenever we get into a squad if you were with me back then. However, remember that before MM was adjusted, I was mostly a solo player and very often I would find myself in many bad matches when I was solo. It seems to me that the only time I would have a good match is when I was with a squad.
But after MM was adjusted, faction warfare saw a huge improvement in matches. Almost no one was leaving a match and everyone was doing their best even if they were losing. The funny thing about this is that FW doesn't even have matchmaking. It doesn't even have a teambuilder logic considering you can choose a side in FW. So this kind of cause me to scratch my head recently on why people were giving it their all in FW but not in Pubs even though FW doesn't even pay ISK.
It turned out it has something to do with other incentives. Despite having no ISK payout, you can get far more salvage including any officer gear that your opponent wore when you killed them (if you're that lucky), you get more LP when winning, you have Eve-side OB support, and there is always someone to squad up with in key faction channels. There is also teamkilling which enables you to get rid of players who try to AFK in FW. You can also choose a side and a faction and always get put at the start of the match rather than halfway through it.
Pubs don't give you much incentive to continue. Salvage is low, pay doesn't seem to be consistent, you sometimes get thrown into matches that have already started or almost about to finish, and there is nothing you can do about AFKers who put a rubber band on their controllers. This seems like something that no amount of matchmaking is ever going to address if the incentive to continue is not there.
