Yes it's matchmaker related but it deserves its own thread.

Waiting 2 minutes consistently for a match for a game that lasts 3 minutes is unacceptable. Fix it, NOW. Ridiculous

BTW all those changes haven't amounted to crap, matches are still one sided, 4 man + 4 sync drops are still prevelant.

The less people that play means the matchmaker has to wait longer to make the match.

If they would have fixed this way back in the beginning of open beta when they still had a decent playerbase then maybe this game wouldn't be so dead now.

go to your room, NOW!

I would rather wait 2 minutes for a good game than join a bad game immediately.

[Syllogy]

The wait would be much worse if they put the Weight Restrictions back in.

Just sayin'.

Please tell me how many unique players play MWO in a given month.

That's just it, the games are NO BETTER than before, I just get to wait for 2 minutes now every ****** match....

Matchmaking is instant for me at peak time (21:00-23:00 GMT) Quite bit slower every other time.

Just maybe, but it might have to do with the Timezone you're in, less people are on everyday with the way the game is going, let alone the #'s at 2am.

Matches take a bit longer to find at off-peak times but I always run in a group of 2, 3 or 4 which probably takes longer than dropping solo. I would rather wait a bit since the matches where the weight classes aren't even close tend to be a fast win or fast loss depending on which team got more Gauss/PPC/ERPPC boats on Assault.

I do agree with the sync-drop problem needing to be fixed which is why I generally don't play during peak hours. I've caught a number of 4+4 sync drops, at least 1 sync-drop group running Marik tags admitted it was intentional and claimed they were all drunk. Others are known to belong to the same merc corps or make comments in chat that leave no doubt all 8 are part of the same merc corp.
