Match quality is a joke

[Anhra]

Are you okay? We're literally talking about matchmaking here, where did this rant even come from? I swear, every time I read one of your posts I always think "okay, this guy can't possibly make any less sense", yet you keep surprising me.

Why else would anyone ever bother on the Forums and blame it on Matchmaking, if not for this? There is bad People in every Ranking Ladder, even in Crystal. It was no different in Feast, when we push the matter of wintrades and so on aside.


Oh and on a sidenote, just because something doesn't make sense to you, doesnt mean it overall makes no sense, maybe thats why People like you complain in the first place, hm?

Tl;dr: Matchmaking is fine, People are not.

You clearly never played Feast during the early seasons. There wasn't a single player in the top 100, let alone in Diamond or Platinum, with a <50% win rate. That coupled with you only being matched with people of your own tier, as well as 1+- respectively, guaranteed a mostly very good and balanced experience in higher rated games; with the flipside being that you barely got to play as a DPS or even a Tank because of the smaller playerbase and fixed roles. Still, I'd argue that quality over quantity is a good thing, we just need a middle ground now.

Your post is objectively pointless given the context. Literally no one was talking about the Meta, nor does it have anything to do with the vast difference in skill between players who are literally playing in the same bracket/tier.

How is the matchmaking fine when you have players who brute-forced their way into specific tiers by just playing nonstop and waiting for a few win streaks? Even in Crystal you regularly face and play with players who would have peaked in Gold or Platinum with a proper ranking system and matchmaking.

It's a complete disaster right now and definitely needs some significant changes if they ever want FFXIVs PvP to be taken even remotely seriously. That and the cheating issues, I still think that most of the wintrading will resolve itself if they fix the rest.

Man the toxic trolls have taken a serious hit in quality.
