I know others have already ninja'd me but since I created one of the more popular rage threads (it was moderated ) I wanted to take this opportunity to answer.

In my rage thread, I suggested PGI own up and give everyone the Public Queue Tier 1 rewards. They met us halfway. Instead of 300/400, it now appears to be 200/300 point requirement.

Thank you PGI!

Having said that, this experience has further exposed the greater problem within the game and community. Many like myself say there's a problem and have offered up our ideas and solutions. Many counter that there is no problem and we should just go with the flow. Obviously both sides are holding their ground on this (I know I am).

I plead to PGI, continue to investigate and evaluate and give the community an answer. If you (PGI) comes back and says "YES! We expect and encourage our players to bring the biggest meta they can and reduce TTK to mere microseconds!" then I will acquiesce. Obviously I am biased . God help us all if this is their answer.

this doesnt help my modest goal of t1 cw. all because i cant simultaneously get forge and not get farmed.

It is a nice move and I don't want to look ungrateful BUT...

not the score was the problem. Actually I think it was spot on. Challenging but not impossible. The two biggest problems were 1. the RNG of the maps 2. the egoistic ****** who mass AFK/DCed. I just had again 4 AFKers

But it doesn't really address the problem. The problem is not getting a 300 match score - that's a challenge, which is exactly what it is supposed to be. The problem is requiring everyone to do that on 9 different random maps.

I have no trouble getting a 300 match score in a win. (I find it pretty challenging in a loss, but that's neither here nor there.) The problem is that I haven't seen Mining Colony since last Thursday.

I can't get a 200 match score, either, if I never see the map!

RNG.
And I thought only Wargaming knew what that was.

No doubt, there are problems not even touched by this move by PGI. As I stated in my OP, this further highlights a greater problem. The point is though, PGI reacted. They saw our plights and did something. Might not have been the best thing or the only thing, but it's something. In the end, it's their game and their call. I just want them to make that call.
