Just get rid of ranked

[CNitsah]

Personally I think they should just merge ranked with casual and implement a better matchmaking/rank system. All the highest ranked elitists would be stuck playing with each other, and the rest of us will be having fun in the lower ranks, without the privelege of playing with people who are clearly just the pillars of our community.

I stopped playing ranked because the matchmaking was better in non ranked. I don't want them to merge them to get the shitty matchmaking back. I'm all for the better matchmaking, but please, leave us one mode that we can enjoy.

Casual doesn't have matchmaking whatsoever. It's either stomp, or get stomped. I find those types of games neither fun, or competitive personally. Obviously I want changes to be made to the existing ranked matchmaker as well, assuming they don't throw 2 player premade parties into the game mode to destabilize it even more.

I'm sorry it absolutely does. It tries to balance games out by separating certain players.

I have played countless games at times when there are mostly inexperienced players in queue and one other player that is experienced. The game will never match you together unless some other experienced player joins the queue. I have seen that happen over and over again after more than 2000 casual wins.

And no, it's not because we are playing the same job, I switch jobs every win lol. There is no bias, it happened tens of times in a row, several times. If it was a 50% chance to be matched with someone every game, it would basically be statically impossible.

There is genuinely zero matchmaking in casual aside from ensuring that melee/ranged/healer/tank balances are equal... It's called casual for a reason, it's more likely a run of bad luck if anything. If it were different then I'd expect to have differing experiences, on different characters which I personally do not notice, and I am a person with 15+ alts high enough to run PvP, with varying ranked Crystal conflict ranks, and overall matches between them.
