PGI had to allow the MM to widen its Elo matching criteria until it had 24 players as high Elo players couldn't get games (from Russ Bullock on NGNG podcast). If it has to go so far down that it is pulling in sub median level players (trial mechs), what does that say about the size of the present player base?

This is the problem in the end. It doesn't seem like the player base is large enough. This goes back to 3rd Person View.

Do you really think the reason they didn't split the queue's was because they though 3PV wouldn't effect gameplay?

It's because the player base is tiny.

The weight balance seems to get worse every day now, it's getting to the point of being two games out of every five are full of highlanders or victors totting the meta dual PPC and dual AC5, maybe it's my elo being on the cusp of the "leet" players maybe people are lazy I don't know, All i know is it's getting tiring and it's certainly not fun.
PGI I'm begging prioritize weight balance because the absolute lack of it is killing the game, I won't lie i think many players will quit when it arrives, I've already starting losing players from my group becuase as good light and medium pilots their own success is forcing them to fight forces that massively out ton their own, over and over again. If anyone didn't know the top elo bracket is mainly populated by heavy and assault pilots (I don't need a source on this one to know I'm right).

P.S. The MM can only work with what it gas at any given point in time. If this happens to the OP 4 out of every 5 drops, then there may be something.

What if it's relatively new to me, and we've been getting rolled for 4 of 5 drops, out of 15 to 20 drops per night, for the past three nights?

I realize the MM can only deal with the number of people available in the queue, but what's been going on the past few nights is ridiculously stupid. I don't know how in the hell... now, I'm not a great pilot, and I'll be the first to admit it, but this has become stupid to even me.
