FW is always about Farmville. Farm or be farmed, that is the purpose of FW.

Nothing has been done to remedy stomps. That being said in pug vs pug I'm getting excellent matches. As in both sides are equally clueless and fearful of contact. A little direction goes a long way ( VoIP, uav ,tag Target calling). I think the magic number for a group totally wiping you is 5.

got stomped pretty good a few times today
lucky pgi managed to figure out how to make the stomps less pain full lol (the power of PGI's super computers lol)

nothing can top the brutal beatings we took in phase 1 and 2

By queue changes, do you mean buckits?

The buckits changed nothing.

Just like phase 3 where all the mercs piled into Jade Falcon and the cried when the ran out of potatoes to pug stomp, Phase 4 magnified the situation. Within 2 weeks of buckits clans were getting ghost drops.

The skill tree did nothing to make things better.
The new I.S. tech was a 2 week speedbump where the mercs jumped on the I.S. side for the new shiny tech. Most have moved back to the clans.

Now we're right back where we started.

Still pugstomping. Any attempts to change that are met with a disproportionate amount of trolling and qq'ing

FW is QP with reaspawns and mixed pug/premade.

It's never been about farming pugs - it's just that the mode rewards teamwork and as such pugs who don't bring good decks and do teamwork don't win much.

There's a number of pugs in FW who do well.

FW is Vanilla WoW Naxxrama's raiders . be the 1% of the player base with the time dedication and theorycrafting or dont bother and Wait till the game dies or they upgrade faction play to a more casual friendly system in "wrath of the lich king". I've explained before how.

If PGI wakes up, their profite and both casuals and "end game raiders" would benefit.

I don't know if things changed, but my intense but brief excursion during the last big Tukyaid event suggests to me that it's still that. It's probably one of the least fun ways to play MW:O.

If you don't play as a seal you will not be treated as a seal.

Still that simple.

And that’s what you call an excellent match?

You should try QuickPlay in SoloQueue it’s full of clueless and fearful players.

I completely disagree with everyone on this thread. It's not a stomp, its a spectating game.
