    PvP Feast solo queue 4s Needs ALOT of improvements! [Suggestion]

    I've been stuck on bronze since the start of season 1. I just cannot get out of bronze because every time I'm so close I start to get ESO/LORE farmers who have no clue how to play PvP and does not care about other player's ratings. I've lost a lot of silver promos because of these useless players, all they care is getting their eso/lore tomes. I have reported the same eso farmer players countless of times, but he is still out there queuing solo 4s to screw things up for the rest of the players who actually wants to advance ranks. I'm getting so sick of this... Everytime I deal with them they have an excuse "It's my first time, be nice... instead of bitching, how about you teach me?" It's ranked mode for a reason, its not my responsibility to teach anyone who queue ranked mode, they should know better.
    And most of these players wear i120s-157s gear or are fresh 60s, treat the opponents like PvE trash mobs instead of focusing healing the player almost dying the healer will spam AoE heals and get mad when he gets called out for not healing properly.

    I understand that most of the newbies wants to get a feel of PvP Feast but cannot get a queue for 8s, I have a suggestion that could fix this and I hope SE take this suggestion into consideration.

    1) REMOVE LORE/ESO tomes from Feast 4s solo queues, since its "Ranked" it should only be for serious players interested in advancing their ranks. People farming tomes should have NO business queuing this mode.
    2) Increase the amount of Eso/Lore tomes for Feast 8s, this way the queue for 8s will not be so dead and all the eso/lore farmers will be here instead of on ranked mode screwing the match for players who actually wants to advance ranks.

    I'm very upset right now, I've just lost another silver promotion. I have more than 200+ matches, I already lost counts on how many silver promos I've lost due to trolls/lore farmers. Reports doesn't work, I see the same lore/eso farmers on matches almost everyday!

    The matchmaking in Feast I as well as many others would agree is pretty suspect and irritating but given the low population of PVP'ers I'm not sure what SE could do to remedy this aside from merging the NA data center regions.

    Their algorithm already supposedly favors matching like ranked players and teams up but the problem is there's vast differences and discrepancies in player skill in unranked/bronze/silver (it at least does work somewhat as intended when matchmaking makes all gold+ teams). Someone mentioned before it would be more favorable if the ranks had different tiers within themselves (such as bronze I/bronze II/bronze III etc) and lobbies were created within these tiers and while it sounds like a marvelous idea on paper in practice its gonna likely make queue times intolerable (again because of the low pvp population). I honestly cannot think of any way for them to fix this as solo queue was pretty much broken from the start.

    So many ppl now are just sitting on points and even more are claiming that this season is it for them, they will not take part in subsequent seasons (I'm in this group as well). I cant even climb the ranks anymore cause the queues are so horrifyingly bad save for the weekend and I am not about to start scheduling my rl weekend around getting matches in. Thus I'm stuck at the early 1k points until things pick up.

    I will say though it is very easy to get out of bronze and get to silver so your issue may not be entirely on your teammate's incompetence. You do not lose anywhere near as many points in bronze as you start to in the higher tiers so losses are much more forgiving.

    I guess esoteric/lore could be on 8x8 unranked....
    Ranked matches 4 x 4 could have a much better reward based on pvp coins alone... Same as pvp set 205 nowadays, wich is difficult to get... you need lots and lots of matches... This way the pve players would get their esoteric;lore and the pvp players could get exclusive pvp sets...
