Uneven matckmaking

I will give it a try ! … thanks for a nice chat ! :-) … and a great night / day tomorrow :-)

You too… Blast that music with your squadies, they’ll be keen…

Just be sure to get everyone to match the lowest BR of who has what… Consider them to be the one who needs to enjoy the match.

Squad’s … have a LOOONG waiting time queue and I’m wasting my time in there … Therefor I’m back to my idea about the “Fairness battles” and after some second thoughts, it’s actually up to Gaijin to make this game both fair and interesting. When I started playing WT, I started with a group of friends- who all have left WT and moved to WoT etc. … because of BUGS and mostly because of the Match Making system. Read some postings on the social medias about WT … and you will read 90% complaints about the MM-system. I’m normally a positive person - but I’m not naive. If something is wrong - those things need to replaced with a new solution and as EVERYTHING can be improved - we need to take his MM system up for discussion again. Be pleased with the system as it is … but if players are leaving the game because of the MM system - then Gaijin is scaring players away because of a stubborn policy - instead of being listening to their players. Gaijin once made a survey where they asked the players about their opinion and as I remember, most of the players made complaints about BUGS and especially the MM system and the BR system. In my perspective Gaijin need to be listening to the players (read CUSTOMERS) and to be constructive for finding new solutions for old way of thinking. Some players are complaining and those players actually important. Other players do not make complaints… they just leave in silence … so, the only way forward is to - at least, to take up the discussion and some new and interesting ideas and solutions will show up. I have talked with a lot of WT players, who … just like me, are leaving the unfair (downtired enemies BR +1) battles… and then we are back to the acceptance of the BR spread again… and for the future, I will quit ALL battles with unfair BR ratings (BR+1 enemies). … and frankly speaking, if I’m not pleased with WT … then I just leave for WoT or another game. :-)

You’re too impatient to actually assemble a group and that impacts your ability to assemble a squad.

That’s nothing to do with the game.

It has everything to do with the game. The Squad thing is made by Gaijin game design … and if the users are not interested in this … then there is something wrong with the squad design. This is just like any other game, where the users don’t use it … then we can blame the game designer only. To make the users like a feature / module, you have to make it interesting for the users - which is not the case in WT Squad.This would be equivalent to blaming the customers in an amusement park for not liking a certain amusement, which in turn points back to the owner of the amusement.

If players aren’t willing to use the features available to them to make thier play easier, then that’s not a fault on the game… It’s an active choice to ignore the method.

I think that you are wrong here … Gaijin is the owner of the amusement and the player are the customers. If the customers do not want to spend time and or money on an amusement - then the owner has a job in making it more fun / attractive. In this case, the points etc. could be a part of the squading similar to the AB mode.

But if you have the ability to do something about your failure, and you choose not to do it for whatever reason, then there’s a stage where you have to admit that the problem exists by your choice, and not by the games actual ‘fault’.

could be a part of the squading similar to the AB mode.

And what do you even mean with this, there’s no difference in autosquads, so I don’t actually know what you’re throwing out here…

I simply cannot see how it can be the players FAILURE, that only a few players are squading ? … and I cannot see the difference in making a “Fair” system, where you can subscribe to join different BR levels and using squading … this way, more users will use the function.

Just change the squading function into a BR level subscription for all BR levels… and see if this changes the users approach.

Just gonna say, you didn’t answer what I asked of you prior… What do you mean by the

could be a part of the squading similar to the AB mode.

line?

I literally don’t think you’ve tried ever squading.

If squading is there, and you choose not to use it to make your chances of having a winning team, or a cohesive team, then there is a stage where you will have to admit that that alone, being chosen to not be used, is a failure on your part.

Like a player who refuses to use the repair function, and just js out because they can’t be bothered…
Like a player who fires their guns at a plane, then js out once the plane has passed once, to then leave the match because they don’t want to deal with a plane…

There is a point where the blame really lays squarely at the players feet.

You are mixing the basic and different factors in the game. My focus is first of all to get some FAIR battles within the same BR level. If this is not achieved - then I will drop out of any battles. Some players are being favored getting downtired (BR) for making a lot of easy kills. If you read the battle statistics, you will see - that those downtired players/vehicles in genereal get the highest kill-ratio. Don’t assume what you THINK is the same as what you KNOW. I have been squading for a period of time (years ago) and I remember it as very time-consuming and I’m here for the battles … not for spending my time on waiting. If this game is getting more “wicked” - then I will spend my time on something else … and / or another game. This is the core in making games for 2023 … keep the players happy… and they will stay … alternatively … they just leave without any argues. If squading isen’t fun …and Gaijin are not open for new ideas … then they end up in guessing, that they have the best game in the world… but nobody want’s to play it. In fact - most of the players on WoT are players who previously have been playing WT… think about that.

You’re the one throwing every reason as to why you’re failing and I’m merely saying that you squading can make al lthe difference to get you ‘fairer’ battles…

This is why I avoid engaging with you in the helpdesk channel because you’ll find any reason to continue it aside from doing what’s recommended of you…

There is DEFINITELY a point where you have to admit that you’re non-wanting to even try simple features and methods, is a choice by you to keep failing.

If the recommendations = Me … wasting my time waiting … then I have better things to do :-). I’m in general a positive and easy going person… but If things are getting unfair… I “raise a flag” and are being constructive for finding a solution … and that’s what started this thread.

Your want to not take on board the advice and need changes made to the game, makes it clear that you aren’t actually wanting to try, and you’re only wanting to convey the continuance of the failure…

And your ‘suggestion’, as I mentioned wasn’t thought through, when you were pointed out to the choice to not play and choose matches that only favoured them you then came up with this other ‘thing’ which again was also flawed, and hence why I was saying about the moving of goalposts and not thought through suggestions that were adapted on the fly.

I honestly dont’ think that you understand my points … and/or are not reading my postings … and/or I’m not skilled enough making you understand my opinions/expressions… Sorry ! (English is not my first language).

I’m pretty sure I do understand your points, but you’re ignoring the basic features and functions of the game to make the issue persist…

You can squad, and you having to wait around is a nothing issue… It also doesn’t make the suggestion any less of a suggestion.

Squading actually makes up to a 1/4 of the team, you… and likeminded people to you, who can coordinate, rather than the random team that this thread has…

1/16, compared to 1/4 makes all the more reason to actually call for people to squad.

Call for people in your matches, make a channel in the chat list. Even join a squadron and get a squad running from there…

I meet a lot of people every day and have been doing this for decades … and some are able to catch an idea… and some are not. Ideas are not a final solution… but something to use for … maybe something different. As I dont’ know in details how things are made at Gaijin / WT… then I make suggestions and if you had the skills for catching ideas… then you would know what I’m talking about. Sorry to say … some people have a coloured mindset … and some have a black-white mindset. As I’m working with 90% coloured mindset people - it’s difficult to explain ideas to someone with a black-white mindset.

I’m making suggesting to improve the play … and for more players to EASILY having fun playing FAIR battles and as you do not catch the ideas … then I have to take it elsewhere within WT. I know that you are doing your best and I respect that…and thank you for spending time with me here.

You’re more hijacking a thread than making a suggestion to be real…

I was waiting for you to put a suggestion in regarding what you had mentioned the previous days.

But seriously, push for squading, get more from your matches to join you and be like that Japanese rolling character that absorbs the town… Call for people in your matches to join your crew and go for the long play.
