Cleaning up the pubs in New Eden
Have them unlocked by SP level, inspire some progression into the poor souls downloading Dust, beginning with Academy, unlocking Acquisition at 1mil, Ambush at 2.5, Skirmish at 5 .. bumping FW battles up to 10? this locks lower SP players out of certain gamemodes increasing the fight quality for those playing them, and saving a few mercs from getting stomped 
Dom.. can be a good mode, but matchmaking too often screws you and one team has more bodies willing to hold the point, while your team shoots at each other in the redline, considering Acq is similar and imo more fun, I'd live with removing it.. But make an 8v8 search queue, maybe allow 8-man squads also, of either Dom, or mixed modes Amb/Dom/Acq
unlocked at 7.5 mil SP and potentially a competetive pub match (the tryhards will go wild) 
The lobbies would work smoother with some SP restriction, and I would not be against a meta lockout on beginner modes.
Academy should remain open until 5mil SP, and Academy should be a mixed queue Acq/Amb/Skir, make battles for new mercs more interesting (have caps on kills/WP/SP or something in place to lockout the farmers) + so they have something to play while unlocking these gamemodes..
This way a Dust merc at 10mil SP has, pubs Acq/Amb/Skir + 8v8 + FW, overall it may populate battles faster, and by an early SP lockout, pretty likely to increase the battle quality
If pigs could fly, we could also smash the whole thing to pieces and rebuild with a system similar to what we have seen used in Other Contracts, where you selct Pub matches based on NPC Corp Battles, also each Corp would hold a certain map rotation so by acting like we care which one we fight for, we get to select a map \o/, Progression in Pubs, Lobbies displayed in Contracts, add DK so more scrubs take part in PC, Varied CHOICES in battle finder, Low MU - Low Reward, High MU - less Low Reward, along with map selection, maybe even allow vets to deploy low MU/Academy.. with no SP/ISK/Stat earning so they can train (troll) new players (as they are now anyway) but they won't be able to profit in that server... BAM!!
So far we have pick, click, search and stomp/stomped, repeat, biomass .. So.. add something?? anything!? SOONtm
I'm playing on a 1.6 mil SP alt recently and... I feel guilty encouraging a new player to bother trying, this needs to be addressed before any other changes or battle quality will be the same either way at the end of it 
Looking to fuel blood, sweat and precious tear production ??
Apply to Corp "anything that moves"
