I find it less than common that premades make up more than a lance most of the time, plus I don't think there are enough groups to actually keep more than a couple matches going at any one time - Especially during early hours, leading to long wait times.
You also need to factor in how many of these groups are just friends grouping up to mess around, or teach another how to play, I hardly doubt throwing them against serious 4 man groups would exactly do much.
I spend a lot of time in up to 4 man groups, I find it more enjoyable that way, I don't feel the need to bring xxx mech because it has weapon y which currently does really well however if groups of 2,3,4 were also split away and forced to fight other 2,3,4 groups it will just throw away the "play with friends and have a laugh" aspect to "prepare to get rofl stomped if you dare try to play with anybody without a high skill level, voice comms and a drop/lance commander" and I don't want that, sure, there are people who take 4 man's seriously but, from what I have seen, they far from make up the majority of the player base.
Oh, and I don't believe you have the right to say that focusing fire over comms takes no skill when you yourself admitted you do nothing but solo drop. You also need to worry about positioning, lines of fire, flanks whilst also trying to listen to what else is being said over comms, this is very hectic and can be a lot to take in at once, however when you solo drop you have one person to worry about; yourself.
I'm not going to say getting slapped up against 2+ full, serious premades doesn't suck because it does however you also need to think about people who are just playing together, another separate queue would just trim the playerbase further whilst also giving friends a reason to not play together - Hardly an ideal solution.
If they really wanted to limit premades in a drop I'd much rather they do something such as limit it to one four man per side, or ensure that each side has an equal amount of 4 man teams rather than out and out separating them.
There is also this that was posted by Johnny "situation x, just cause someone thinks its a premade based on faction affiliation ". Unfortunately the elo system seems to work on averages, you could have 11 great players and 1 player who's elo is incredibly low, bringing their team down to an "average" elo whilst you have 12 average players, who quickly get stomped.
Finally I'd like to add that I found that even in your title could be considered insulting really, as in anybody who runs in a premade would be useless without the ability to talk, I also sense a lot of anger in your posts, maybe you should consider relaxing a little more? I find even reading through half the forums here actually gets me pretty stressed out, hate is contagious so I like to limit my exposure.
