If pubstompers and stat padders don't complain for it to be rescinded, it'll be a failure. |

ie, you stat pad, then get stuck in game wayyy above your skill level... get stomped and then your score falls within 1-3 games until you are somewhere you belong.
There are people out there so obsessed with their KDR that they'll run and hide after getting X amount of kills.
Also, I saw the same thing happen in DCUO when matchmaking was finally implemented. Villains were so butthurt because they couldn't stomp out heroes anymore that they cried on the forums until it was taken away. |

Abron Garr wrote:I believe Gear-only matchmaking would be sufficient. These latest iterations of Dust are heavily skewed in favor of gear making the difference over RL and IG skills. The skill bonuses we get from spending SP are simply not enough of an advantage to warrant matchmaking based solely off SP or WP.
Here are my thoughts: If we do manage to actually get a working economy in Dust, I would like to see a market for mid tier equipment. Right now they're simply stepping stones to protogear. If there was a matchmaking system based off gear, veteran players could still participate in matches, provided they "downgrade" their gear to an appropriate level.
This solves the problem of having too low of a high-sp population as well as encouraging players to "max out" fitting and support skills instead of rushing straight into prototype gear. As an added benefit, testing and balancing will actually be possible because there will be, hopefully, fewer variables that complicate the discussion.
Needless to say -- Corp, PC and FW matches should remain "anything goes" with zero matchmaking IMO.
Why not just a combination of all the above? Lifetime WP, lifetime SP, and (not sure how to track this) but average fitting meta level. I would say KDR, but since things are so exploitable, how many times you die vs how many times you killed someone is near meaningless. |

Yeah, I agree we need more available stats. It would make matchmaking much easier. Time played just by itself would make a very good factor. |

Doesn't that pretty much screw Amarr assaults? |
