Worked for me. Thanks OP. +1

Kinda surprised this hasn't gotten locked yet since they said straight up that this won't happen. If you want to opt out just do what lots of others are doing and take a break once 8.0 hits.

So now i'm not part of the same forum going majority that is wrong in your words? The goal posts keep moving with you. We aren't however talking majority of game, we were talking the forums here and reddit: If you want to drag the majority of the game players into this all you need to do is watch what happens in random chat of late to get an idea of how people feel. Spoiler alert: It's generally pretty salty when it comes to MM. So you blame the players getting input into WG's mess the GZ became? Instead of WG? It's funny because somehow WG isn't culpable even though they made the game i guess. GZ has to be bad because average player input was taken into consideration is hilarious. That's your shining example of why the majority should be ignored? That's it?

Just WOW. The arrogance here is astounding. You were the person who tried to tell me how i felt about the game in a huge assumption and now you are speaking for whom? Are all your posts strawman and baseless? And now the masses are wrong and they don't know what they want. Did you take business school from Blizzard entertainment? There HAS been MANY reasoned arguments. Yours however is not one of them. Even Zim admitted it was the majority. His words not mine.

What does such a simulator look like?

I have a very dim view of anything when the opinion of the masses is dismissed so readily. That somehow the voices of a few should mean more than the many. It just doesn't jive with me. It's also been tried in countless games to cater to the more hardcore group and its always met with disaster. You assume i didn't read them based on? Conjecture or the fact that i didn't pull your arguments apart sentence by sentence? If you want to be dismissive, by all means its your choice. But it's not making for a strong argument against why the few should be catered to over the many. If anything you didn't even answer the question of who should the company cater to because it won't help your narrative.

I'm reading what you wrote and nothing else. You said the majority of forums are basically out to get the above average player. I mean just typing that alone made me want to run for the tin foil. Also no where did i say unicums players opinions do not matter. The problem is there's only a small amount of unicums VS a large amount of average to below average players. Who should the company cater to? The few or the many?

Wow so two whole forums are in the wrong? The majority of forum people are wrong? Seriously? And i'm the one that ignores everything eh? You just admitted to being in the minority on this issue by dismissing two chat platforms as wrong to your view. Yeah. Right.

I feel fine about where i am in the game thanks. You don't need to speculate. No one asked for your opinion on what you think they felt.

I do when its a waste of flags and camo. The best matches (even the lost ones) are the ones that come down to a couple ships. Those ones everyone goes GG on for a good fight. Those are the good games. Granted those can't be all the time either but they are so few that they make an impression. Some middle ground would be nice.

I play solo all the time due to time constrictions. It can be a mixed bag. If i lose a few in a row i take a break and come back later. Makes it easier to not go on tilt.

Random isn't nor should it ever be about prestige. That's CB and ranked stuff. Randoms is where the majority of players go to play. There's plenty of ways to make yourselves distinct in this game as it is with colors in tags and badges. Randoms should be about fun for everyone. Not just a few. There's enough for those types of players already. Catering to the hardcore crowd for any game has never worked. It's not here or this thread would be dead already. And when this one is there will be another. And another. Because the majority of people just aren't happy with it.

I don't care about stats. What i care about is the ending of game after game loss when it could be balanced out. One or two wins and a loss or two here or there is far better for randoms than loss after loss that does nothing but deplete the will of the player to continue playing. Where the true stats should matter is Clan Battles. Where there's 100% control of the teams to make the decisions to win. To make it fair for players in random is where SBMM would make life more enjoyable. No one team should get bogged down "because RNG deerrrrr" when its completely in the control of the company making this game to offer a more fair and balanced alternative.

I don't use XVM or whatever either. I look at clan tags. The other night the other team had a division with a highly recognizable unicum clan tag complete with unicum CV. To top it off there was a second division of unicums in that same team. VS a division of nobodies on ours. Who do you think won? You don't need XVM to see you are gonna get screwed by MM in a match.
