Looking through my old videos, remembering back when we could actually drop 8 mans against each other easier....

you mean the good ole days, when we had far more lag, broken dragon collisions, insane heat for LL, ERLL, LPL, PPC ERPPC, UACs that never jammed, less maps, less mechs, less equipment, bad economy et al?

the game is FAR better now than it ever was then (collisions, or lack therof, excepted)

Well, looks like this will soon be a thing of the past with their new elo rating in place now. Good bye 8 man sync drops, it was nice knowing you.

Break out the smurf accounts. See how many farmed accounts I can make before Community warfare gives me something to do again....

Why would you make farm accounts instead of trying to drop against people at your skill level?

well if normal 8-mans continue to avoid Conquest like the plague, then you can still sync drop there.... just may take more time to get matched up

I still dont get this - and I said it in the other thread too - when where you EVER able to choose whom you drop against? When was this feature implemented? When was it removed? Did I miss something?

8 man groups could drop against each other pretty easily- mostly because there are so few 8 man drops going on. Now unless the 2 teams have similar Elo it will be much harder to drop against a specific opponent- which is required if you want to do the player run campaigns and tournaments.
