Just wanted to verify before I email off a screenshot of a certain group ([Redacted]) dropping 7 on one team and short straw 8th man on my team in Solo.

Yes. Sync dropping is a Class 3 felony.

[roboPrancer]

I heard even talking about it could get you a lifetime ban

[Tranderas]

Sync dropping is punishable by luls in the court of memes.

[Composite Armour]

I knew a guy who syncdropped once.

7 days later, he woke up dead.

PGI cant tell me how to play their game or use content that i have purchased.

PGI could code it to exclude the members of a unit from being put together on the same side, even delaying game matchups for multiple players, though it would not do anything for people who are not in the same unit.... but that also then also says a lot about Group queue, not just the match ups but the ability to get a match in a timely manner.

But it would also mean those players are in the same tier also.

"illegal" or no. Its a scumbag move and I have blocked each and everyone of that unit. Also their buddies [Redacted].
If it were vs vs their own guys fine. Some of my most fun matches are vs my unit mates.
This it blatant pug/pub stomping.

unconstructive, name & shame reference

[Bud Crue]

According to the great and mighty mods of this forum (at least since may of last year), sync dropping is an attempt to exploit the match making system and as such is a violation of the COC.

Best I could come up with via 10 seconds of googling.

exploit / griefing reference

[roboPrancer]

If you could choose what side you end up on in a sync drop, as to stack one side then it might be a problem.

As it is there is just a bubble of certain, more experienced players that like to drop in the same match as their favourite streamers. Mix in a few average pugs and their heads will be spinning in no time. This is more so because the difference in skill in T1 players than anything. But population size restricts the abilities to have a solid matchmaker.

[Bodack Horseman]

Sync dropping is clearly a horrible exploitation of all things that multiplayer gaming stands for.

Attempting to enter a match with and against one's friends must be punished harshly, as this clearly provides an atmosphere where the syncing players get to have fun, and everyone else in the match has the disadvantage of..... absolutely nothing.

[Redacted] was a mistake, and they're clearly all degenerates, not just people trying to enjoy each others' company.

Also haHAA
