First off. Thank you for an actual response!!!!! I'm a little disappointed it took 4 threads and about 170ish upvotes in 3 days to do that, but better late than never. I'm not going to lie here, I'm having a really hard time believing that not one, not two, or 3, but 4 times this algorithm problem (that was unheard of 2 weeks ago) popped my MM thread. And all in that same 3 days. Among dozens of others. If that's truly the case, I'd say it's well past time to review the use of that algorithm. " I'm not here to invalidate anyone's opinion, but I do have my own experiences with with building teams to play games together." We all have our own experiences with that. And more now, on this game. And it's led to 1 in 5 having completed a raid(ONE IN FIVE). It's led to an all but torches and pitchforks scene with regards to the public outcry for matchmaking. Forbes has written not one, but two articles about it! The author seems like a decent guy btw, bit of light correspondence there, on a semi-related note. "If I could move one of you closer to taking matchmaking into your own hands, it would be worth the scorn." I'd like for you to clarify what you mean here before I respond. It took 3 insomnia riddled days of effort to get this close to a conversation, I'd like to avoid a misunderstanding of terms. It would be really nice if that could happen at some point soon, because I ----WANT--- to engage here, to have some level of a meeting of minds. In the interim however, let me again and with no sarcasm at all, thank you for taking 5 minutes out of your day to give an actual response. I wish you'd done so a week ago, the very very likely scenario then wouldn't have involved nearly so much vitriolic anger. That's all we, at the heart of the matter, needed. Even if it'd been "piss off we like LFG" anything would have been better than nothing nothing nothing, a question about a statue joke, nothing etc. I'm wait on that clarification before talking on that other bit I asked about. THANK YOU. Side note: Thank you also to everybody that helped keep this up till we were answered!!!
