Actually I'd say that it's not for bad groups. A 12 man can easily get wrecked by a much better 4 man so small groups are viable.
You didn't read the post did you? Of the matches my group is 1 for 1, I just finally got one match, 2 matches in 5 hours. The win was against a 12 man and the loss was a 12 man. My point was that I can't even get into a game and I think it has to do with the sheer number of 12 man groups in the hopper so there aren't many slots open for lances to drop in. I don't play hardcore 24/7 live breath MWO and I'd rather not be forced to play with these large groups in order to even play CW. Seeing as CW is a big reason I am interested in MWO it makes me less likely to play in the future if I can't play that game mode with out waiting 30+ minutes for a single game.
Though with the invasion maps if you have a 12 man you have an advantage unless you drop with competent groups. A lance of competent players with vs a competent 12 man the 12 man will win every time. I have heard your argument before but that assumes you have a competent team of randoms vs a horrible 12 man which generally is rare. Most likely you have a bunch of horrible randoms, maybe one competent to good lance and a decent 12 man. With that 12 man drops have a huge advantage because of communication and cooperation.
Its like pitting an amateur football team against a random gaggle of people, Sure the randoms might win, but they don't have the practice or cohesiveness that the amateur team does. It is generally unfair and I would hope change in the future to make things more even with these battles. However with the numbers the game has I know they want to decrease wait times and the best way to do that is to drop any barriers that might be separating players from matching up.
