Alright, I wasn't going to do this and I'm not fishing for likes, but a buddy of mine just called and more or less demanded that I make a new thread with this for everyone to enjoy.

is the matchmaking going to divide teams in clan and is anytime soon?
it just does not feel like an invasion when the invaded and the invaders team up on themselves.

This is not the african plains.
There are no lions.
There are no hyenas.

There are simply larger groups of players stomping on smaller groups of players.Same as it's always been.

It's more akin to an elementary school yard than an african plain.

If the game is not fun for people,they will simply leave.
MWO can scarcely afford to lose many players.

So get in a bigger group or drop solo. Don't complain that you can't just fight pugs.

SSo you only want to play in a group vs solo players or 1 smallgroup, also breaking group queue completely?

Prolly not.

all this has been asked for since the introduction of premades
people have been raving for single and group queues
now they're here

well u could all hop on the same hub, or make some friends and group up a little more

or ask PGI for ingame comms, then every drop would be a 12 mans, though it doesn't mean an organized or skilled one

however, some players are actually better than others, if such players actually form up, then u do have lions going after sheep, or hyenas I guess
I mean we all know this is not Africa, its just a metaphor
but using a metaphor for such things does kinda work, doesn't it?

people wanted queues because it wasn't fun otherwise, now we don't want them because it isn't fun?

edit:
also
it does seem that the group queues is filled with better players (on average), making for better games and less PUG like facepalms

I just want to be able to play the game with my wife and not get thrown in with a 10-12 man group of meta humping tryhards.Why is that so difficult to understand?


The simple fact of the matter here is,You guys just want people to either play your way,be target practice for you....or gtfo.That pretty much cover it?
