SE Please Remove Rank Matching Delay in Wolves Den

[ExKage]

I'm not even a high level and my queue times for Wolves' Den is horrendous. The matches are short most of the time especially if I'm going to get curbstomped at r24 but compared to FL where I don't need to worry about a withdrawal, I don't queue for Wolves' Den. Sure matches will take 20min or so but I've spent over 1hr in queue in Wolves' Den.

And I still get curbstomped even if the rank matching is supposed to help against that.

I'd rather have 50 curbstomps with 5 min queues over 10 wins that took me 1hr queue each :c

We are asking Se to remove this restriction since they add it... We lost almost every real pvp player because there is no way to pvp when you are high rank actually.. and Here we are after almost 6 months, this restriction is still here... EVEN WITH i80 SYNCH AVAILABLE.

SE is only listening to japoanese servers anyway

+1 for the fun, maybe one day SE will just listen to us...

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Ilvl 80 sync is only for frontline.
I disagree with this request. I am not (yet ?) a good PVP player. I am still learning, but if I get stomped every time by guys in Ilvl 100 stuff, I will give up way before being rank 30

The Wolves Den has a ilvl 80 mode as well now.
To unlock it, you need to talk to the NPC near the merchants (the one who unlocked the 3 other modes).

The thing is that while there's a chance that you can face i100 rank 40's, you have an equal chance of them being on your team so you won't always be stomped by them. Additionally, you have the option to queue in the i80 sync'ed version of Wolves' Den. With that in place the matchmaking is essentially useless and just becomes a cumbersome obstacle because the only advantage r40's have is more PvP skill points.

Ranking up is incredibly easy these days and the gap between 40's and beginners is closing fast. I really hope they get rid of the matchmaking system so that people can actually queue up with reasonable wait times.

I think that this really needs a lot more attention than it's getting.

While i realize that frontlines is popular, there is still enough of a player base that does WD. The way matchmaking works now is debilitating, and as such any interest in it has to be dwindling to sparse amounts.

I have been waiting in queue as as r40 for 78 mins now. It has been four times i've accepted queue, gotten to 7/8, had the last person not accept, and been placed right back to the start. So, not only is matching up against anyone already difficult, the system kicks me all the way back and makes me start over again.

It's just not right. Players want to play this game but it is like the system is going out of its way to screw us, a common description of the game in 1.0. These queues completely disrupt an important facet of the game. It is too hard to attract new players when they can't actually play, and if experienced players like myself can't do this either, then what is the point of logging in?
