No, it just means that you mingle with others and not just with your select few in an echo chamber. Didn't you learn that in school? You get to make more friends.
BTW, if you'd be so kind as to stop putting words in my mouth, I'd be grateful. I never mentioned anything about making the game unbalanced.
you did though. you said if I play with my 1 friend, instead of playing with a larger group, I shouldnt expect to win.
that implies the teams arnt balanced.
if the teams were properly balanced by a working matchmaking id have close to a 50/50 chance of winning irregardless of how many friends I played with.
I wasnt putting words into your mouth. its literally what your mouth said.

I'm surprised you haven't drowned in your own tears you shed here on the forum for 7 years while not even playing the actual game. This game is team-based. If you aren't willing to join a team either get rekt and deal with it or go play a singleplayer title. Nuff said.
Where does MWO say you have to join a group/unit to play? It sounds like those are your own biased, misconstrued assumptions and not based on any facts whatsoever. Furthermore youre trying to impress others to play the game your way which is not only presumptuous but also offensive.
If the game is team-based why are 90% of the players solo players? Why are the vast majority of groups small groups of 2-3? Why are large groups the minority?
All of the statistics support the exact opposite of what you said: MWO is primarily a solo game/small group game and large groups/units actually introduce an unbalanced element to the game.
Allowing stacked teams in group queue and faction play is one of the main reasons (but far from the only reason) the game has lost so many solo/small group players in the last few years. And PGI has posted statistics that show those players make up over 90% of the playerbase. Keeping that ratio the same, it stands to reason that 90% of the players that quit were solo players.
And "play the game my way or quit" is a very toxic attitude. Toxic players like you actually chase other players away by constantly trying to tell them how they should play the game. The worst part is players like you dont even assume responsibility for your share of the blame for why MWO died because you dont think theres anything wrong with being oppressively toxic.
