Europeans suck at MWO!

It's starting to dawn for me that most of my bad games happen earlier in the day, when the Americans are sleeping and there's almost only Europeans (based on ping) that are in my team.
Later in the day, evening/night, my games pick up considerably and I'm grouped with competent people that play as a team and communicate.

Again, not trying to be mean or anything, besides, I'm European myself.

Anybody else that have this experience?

I'm from Europe as well, and have noticed similar things. A friend of mine is of the opinion it's because Counter-Strike was/is pretty influential in Europe, and lots of Europeans try to play MWO like CS (camping, sniping). I certainly see a lot less flanking and pushing and more hanging back and sniping in EU games compared to NA.

This is going to be good.....

During the oceanic event I was doing my rounds on all the servers, I did notice my matches in Europe were a bit more... stale. Oceanic area was pretty fun though and NA is my home server.

lol, this is a prime example of why not to publicly display tiers.

Its definitely the majority of the Nascar drivers that come out at that moment of the day.
And yes, lots of suck.

I usually find the best or at least the most fun matches between 10pm Central to 6am ish.

Possible explanations:

• It's easier for the matchmaker to make balanced matches with players from the same tier during peak American hours.
  
• In the group queue, you'll find more organized groups playing in America. N. America has more players, bigger units, everybody speaks the same language, etc.
  
• High tier players will gravitate towards the N. American servers if those have a larger population, because there's a higher chance of getting in a match with other high tier players.
  
• Big pharma is using chemtrails over Europe to make us bad at Mechwarrior Online and spend more money buying Premium Time using American Dollars, which boosts the American economy.

Yeah, so what you're saying is that Americans are good and the Euros suck?

To be fair, us 'Merican's are getting blasted out of our minds 24/7 by High Fructose Corn Syrup and Monsanto's round up in everything. It is no wonder we have nascar as bad as it is. These kids CAN'T STOP going round and round.

Now I regret choosing a Norway flag in the last event....

[Mister Blastman]

Heh. There's a reason I only have North American servers selected.
