The Feast

[Kaiyoko]

This could also have a lot to do with the fact that there are currently no diamond ranked players, a couple platinum players per data centre, and a mere handful of golds, at the moment.

That still doesn't change the fact that high ranking players are being matched with bronze and unranked. I would rather wait 30min+ or not queue at all for a competitive match w/ silvers, golds, or plats. Before I stopped queuing I would get matches w/ 3 unranked, bronze, or players there for lore/eso most of the time that make the team lose in less then 2mins because they don't understand what's going on resulting in a ranking loss for players that are treating this competitively.

It's extremely frustrating to be high ranked being matched with players who don't even try or don't really care about PvP. I've received plenty of comments from players similar to "xD why do you care, it's just PvP". I understand other players would like to do it casually, but this is a ranked mode with competitive achievements and rewards on the line. Like I said above, I'd rather it just not match me at all then get players in unranked / bronze because of that attitude. Others have stated this but there really needs to be an unranked PvP 4v4 queue for the Feast as well to hopefully filter out some players.

Edit: In relation to the unranked / bronze not understanding what's going on. I feel like SE wants high ranking players to the inexperienced how to PvP with how it's currently set up. Problem is you're given 1 min before the gates open to explain the plan to everyone. Most of the time w/ more experience players much doesn't need to be said. Inexperienced players need more coaching and guidance which is complicated to fit into that 1min. 1/2 the time players aren't even loading until 20~30 seconds. You also can't teach someone their class and it's extremely obvious when a healer isn't up to par.
