Matchmaking? Nope, not really.

Is this really matchmaking? Getting put against 2-5 Premades with 4k+ item level. I know im gonna get alot of hate for this but I mean enough is enough. How can one strive to compete in this 'matchmaking' when you cant even do 10% HP damage to BIS geared players. I understand the concept of making money to keep the servers up but forcing people to play against others who have MUCH higher stats is lame. I've been playing for about two months and I know alot of the people who play MMOs really enjoy the pvp aspect, some play just for the pvp, shouldn't cryptic atleast try to address this problem? I can see alot of players being driven off the game due to being completely destroyed every game, there is just no midway, its either you're destroying them or you're being completely destroyed, and then people complain about the AFKs at camp. Not hating on the game itself here, just the mechanics of pvp. I've been told to do PvE for months on end just to afford BIS gear for PvP, which is bad enough. Please don't go hating in the replies, its just my opinion and this rant wouldn't be complete without a solution: Why not have skill groups allotted according to the number of wins/ilvl? Say a level 70 would be put against other level 70s with the same, +-500 ilevel. Or someone new to PvP would be given the lowest of skill ranks, and as you attain more wins and increase k/d you'll be alotted to the next rank. This would completely fix the current end-game pvp situation, which is just horrible in its current state.

What are your thoughts about PvP?

    Exactly. And crpytic won't address the problem since they know that people who want to PvP have to pay alot just to compete properly, if they somehow manage to fix the situation it would just mean less profit for them right? No wonder this game has lost so many players, they dont care about the current situation all they care about is $$$.

    quit pvp, i quitted days ago. many exploiters, not balanced classes, broken mechanics and powers. Pvp is only flooded by top pvp guilds and few are those newbies who get there for the AD and end up being stomped.

    i still remember ppl using AP drain overload against me on the week 2 of mod7 in GG pvp..

    i still remember the thread here on the forum..

    i am still looking for the actions devs have done against those ppl..

    since than i have literally stopped to play..i am disgusted!

    i am praying and doing profession, collecting free VIP keys and loggin off, neither chatting with my old friends on, 'cose i am unable to explain them why i am not playing any more..

    the test server is my florida retirment for now on; the only place cheaters free in game.

    Ugh, what the hell do you expect devs to do against people who use legit items the developers MADE?

    How many people do you think still play this game? Now how many of those do you think are 4k+ BiS? If you limit the people they can play with, their queue times are going to skyrocket, YOUR queue times are going to skyrocket too.

    Its the same problem with the lack of dungeons in this game, if they suddenly brought all the old dungeons back, the finite amount of tanks and healers in this game are going to be spread thin very quickly, and queue times - you guessed it, will go to the moon.

    It's a fine balance and there is no easy solution.

    I don't touch PvP, it is broken, there are unnecessary barriers for new people going into it (Tenacity), there isn't enough variety in the maps so it gets boring very quickly, but most importantly it is filled with very rude and angry children who take dying in a video game far too personally. I wouldn't miss PvP if it was removed completely, at least then my classes would stop getting nerfed in PvE because they are abused by the exploiters in PvP.

    You'd be suprised to see the amount of 4k+ BIS geared players that get put against/on my team in domination. There will be one every match, that one player, whichever team he is in willr help them win 1000-100 and theres nothing you can do about it. Hence my point of PvP being completely RNG based and not skill based, if you somehow get that 4k+ BIS player on your team and the opposition are 2.0-2.5k ilvl players, we all know whats gonna happen. Nothing competitive should be luck based, all im tryin to say.
