Issues with Matchmaking?

Dakiras: So there's a large amount of misunderstanding and anger coming from this post. Fair enough.   Here's the thing, MM affects everyone in the same way and it is something that everyone either accepts or they don't. We don't get special MM because we're staff, you don't get worse MM because we're picking on you. These are all the works of paranoia, and thrown around the forums from time to time.   As for the MM being unbalanced...   Confrontation, I won't debate that. There are some imbalances in my opinion, but these are inherent with the tanks and types of tanks that people favour. That's something that may yet undergo changes but at this time I don't know for sure.   Random Battles, this is something that has been said many, many times by a lot of the people on the forums. The validity of these comments is a different matter. The point is there are many threads that come up about it and we see it daily. The previous thread, while had a lot of good discussion, was largely not engaged by the community team for a very, very long time and that's a flaw we're trying to fix if we can.   I'm sure everyone has had times when they've been annoyed with where the matchmaking has placed them. I know I have. This is something that we're reading day after day across multiple threads and we're passing on the feedback where there is something new to share, or a suggestion as to specifically HOW the matchmaking could be improved in the eyes of the community. We don't always say "we've forwarded this on" for a couple of reasons:   You would get sick of hearing it, as with other times we've said similar things on other topics It would create an expectation that something will come of it, when in reality there is no guarantee. Changes to the game mechanic is at the discretion of the development teams We can't always guarantee feedback from the development team (that we can share) on whether or not they will run with a proposed idea, whether they will take parts of it, and so on   Finally... The purpose of this thread   The last thread saw very little interaction from us. Yes, that's a flaw in the system and something we're trying to change. This thread is, firstly, to give people who do not yet understand the matchmaking system (there are people out there that don't) a collection of the information about how the system functions currently. The second reason is for it to serve as a fresh start for the thread.   We'll be trying to post as much as possible, but please understand that we're not going to just cop out and say the same thing every time just for the sake of posting something because that doesn't really achieve what we want to achieve with the thread. If there are no posts for a few days, it doesn't mean we're not reading it.   Apologies for the MM = good comment. That was my bad. :P However, from overall development perspective, the MM system is working as it was intended to work. Tweaks may occur, but I personally don't believe there will be a mass overhaul any time soon. I could be wrong.   Anyway, just wanted to clear that up.   Thanks!
