Would skill based match making be good for FFXIV?

[SturmChurro]

Maybe if we had a legit pvp mode this would be something to consider, but for df content this really isn't necessary. A waste of time actually. Why would I need to be matched with equally skilled players to clear content that can be face rolled? I wouldn't, the content is easy enough to be cleared with varying skill levels. Why would I want to wait an extra 10-15 minutes to clear something at best 5 minutes sooner?

And what would skill be based on? Dps done? Deaths? What about healers; will healing done factor in? If so how would it, and would it be accurate? What if I mess up a mechanic and it kills others, does that lower their skill or mine?

Nope!

Yeah, this part I should have mentioned for actually being bad for the game. Queue times would increase, especially during content lulls. In a perfect world players at the lower end would be encouraged to play at a higher level, and higher level players would get swift queues, and clears. Unfortunately, neither would happen - at least not consistently on a mass level. Yeah, what would it be based on in the first place? This is a pretty lofty system, and I doubt it would (or could) even be implemented well.
