When I left, I was a hair into tier 2. When I got back, I found that I was in the middle of tier 3. I expected to be rusty and lose some bad played games. First, I'll admit that my W/L percentage has been 20-25% which has always seemed to play a role in your final piloting score (playing an average game but on the losing team would drop your pilot score). But what shocked me was that I had a decent game, was alive at the end of the match, had about 320 damage and my piloting score went DOWN. I had another game where I did 350 dmg and died on the winning team and my score was neutral. In the past, those 2 matches would have increased my pilot score. With a huge slide down, now I find myself about 75% into tier 4.
I'm curious to know where I am finding myself amount other players now? Tier 4 to me in the past was good new players on the way up or poor, not team playing people that usually died in the first 3 minutes of a match. I'm not really angry at being in tier 4, just annoyed at the amount of time it seems to get into a match now. If MWO had 10,000 active players, maybe I wouldn't feel so bad that I'm a returning player needing to polish his piloting skills again. But when last I knew, we had less than 4,000 active players and the numbers kept dropping. I don't know if anyone has the raw data, but I would be curious to know the amount of active players in tier 5 through 1.
Thank you for any information on the topic and any hand holding telling me that I'm not a bad team player... just that your piloting sucks right now...
