Add a 20% C-Bill and XP bonus for any solo or group of 4 or less. Discus.

There was never anything wrong with group q. These larger groups were only few percent of the games but somehow cause all the problems? I think not.

I like it. I would love to have the option to play in the group queue as a solo with added rewards.

Several pages of discussion on it, the abysmal level of group participation and most important of all Russ and his attempts to effect it with balance changes, would point towards there being something wrong.

Lots of people crying about something doesn't point to being something wrong.

Your 20% bonus would never work but large groups are such a tiny percentage of player it wouldn't matter. Almost all group q games are made with small groups. Only few percent are the larger groups and out of these the 12;man comp groups are almost zero when you count even if they play they will fight 12 man mixed groups first.

Like I sad there was never a real issue. This all started because they wanted faster mm times.

I'm going to be bribed into joining a queue I've been asking access to as a solo player for a long time now?

Hmm! I think people are desperate.





Here is my counter-offer. Why not give me a 200% c-bill, XP, and GXP bonus?

Sorry I don't haggle with PUG's.

Would increase the amount of players, ergo allowing better matchmaking, I can't see any reason why I wouldn't work.

It might pull few teams away from cw but not like anyone is playing it for cbills anyway haha. Everyone I know playing cw is after mechbays.

Pugs are not going to use lfc for 20%. Cbills.

I would check the box to play in solo and group queue if it existed without incentives. I play in the morning mostly, though, and the group queue seems to be pretty dead then.

[Boris The Spider]

They used LFG in spades during the lance challenge, the public TS, Comstar and NGNG were running at max capacity, which implies that if the rewards are right, people will use it. What harm could it do?

[Lazor Sharp]

Why don't we give all the solo's / puggies a 20% c bill boost to join a larger unit and play as 8-12 mans, as a team in a team based game, vs encourage the solo / puglandia players, to be non team players in a team based game......

Why not a cbill boost all around, and buff premium too?

Solos/smalls/PUG's would have to work with the team to make the most of their 20% anyway. If you made it for players just joining an existing group, large groups would use it to pad their alts and wouldn’t have the effect of increasing the amount of players in the queue anywhere near as much... which is the primary goal.
