https://www.dexerto.com/amp/destiny/destiny-2-hits-crucible-player-record-after-bungie-disables-sbmm-1387826 This seems to argue otherwise Also I'll have you remember warmind brought back a ton of players as well - and it's no coincidence sbmm was disabled un quickplay for that as well Seems like disabling sbmm always leads to player gains... And finally you're comparing a game in its fresh first year to halfway through its 3rd and we have similar numbers? Hows that a bad thing?

+1 PVP has actually bypassed the player count of PVE , best guess CBMM for Iron Banner. I know for a fact the top tier players did not like to play IB in prior seasons due to SBMM.

[quote]Nope, its popular because sunsetting.[/quote] What utter delusion, yeah sunsetting - the number 1 unpopular issue is why people are grinding for loot before a major expansion....totally.

Edited by MADG33k: 7/7/2020 2:08:30 AMThey were not really grinding for loot but rather for tokens to be spent on gear in the future. This is not uncommon. With CBMM though when running a six stack it is easy to get a game mercied in half the time of a normal game, more than doubling the amount of tokens one could get as when SBMM was present, which often created more competitive games as well as longer matchmaking times. In fact in a couple of games when it became obvious we were going to stomp a team of six randoms (at 20 to 2) we had opponents to come running at us without shooting, apparently wanting us to kill them and get the game over with. They quickly got the losing tokens and everyone moved on. This obviously did not make for a fun game but everyone got the tokens, gear and valor quickly. Of course without those items for the losing team I suspect those players would have stopped playing IB completely which would have eventually lead to more team matching, but for now it is a quick way to get IB tokens, even if you are losing constantly.
