Well here it is. ELO and an official **** off any type of play except tournaments we run and CW when ever we get around to it.

About Elo and Competitive Play

As you know, Elo is now a functioning part of Match Making. We are aware that this is going to cause problems with tournament/community organizers who rely on sync-drops to play against specific teams. While not officially sanctioned by PGI, we do appreciate the effort these organizers are putting in to run these events.

That being said, we are not intentionally trying to disrupt your ability to do so but at the same time, this side effect of Elo helps curb the problems associated with sync dropping. Elo is meant to balance the Match Making mechanic for the entire community.

As mentioned before in other avenues, there are numerous competitive players here at PGI, in all types of game genres, and we fully understand the need for features and tools that support this style of gameplay. We DO plan on bringing in the functionality to run PGI controlled tournaments/special events, and Community Warfare will fill in the rest of player's needs.

So prepare to be pug farmed to death now.

Competitive play is coming as a component of the CW system. No need for the Chicken Little rant when Paul has already stated that they know this is important and it will be in game.

Because there are already so many pugs running 8 mans?

Edit: Derp, this is seriously buggered.

Oh boo hoo, grow up. Elo is needed because of people who abused the system. Sync drop is exploiting, I do not care what PGI or anyone else has to say about it. Its bad enough that we got our groups sized busted down to either a maximum of four or an eight man group.

Once private matches become available the community will have what it needs to do third party leagues such as NBT.

Break out the smurf accounts. Nothing better to do. Basically took away the reason I play this game and made queue time take 2-3 minutes (probably longer cause of my K/D). Community warfare is half a year away at best.

This is twice they have removed the ability for us to drop against specific teams.

Seems to be a bit at odds with their (love u guys) attitude.

Your precious K/D isn't in Elo. It's based off Win/Loss.

i was worried about this and i hope we'll still be able to sync drop for tournies.

Didn't realize pubs and 4 mans could join against 8, that's ********.

Your Elo has nothing to do with your K/D. It's purely a function of W/L.

So... you still want to ride the "drop as a group against solo players" gravy train?

Sorry - zero sympathy.

[PurpleNinja]

When people talks about leagues and tournaments, are they serious?
Like, video games were some sort of sports?
