I know others have mentioned this before but unless we fuzzy bunny about it loudly, Adhesive isn't going to get it.  I am a 1900 player and since the patch, there is on average only ONE TDM server at my level.  I am tired of waiting and waiting hoping someone would drop out of that server.  This is really ridiculous penalizing good players this way.  I used to get in, play a bunch of games, no wait.  Now I sit idle in frustration.

Whatever its worth, I am NOT buying any more Meteor credits until you guys relax the rules or think of a better system.  Finally, noobs aren't going to get any better playing with other noobs.  I only got good playing better players.

Seconded; i had €31 reserved for more MC, but since i can barely get in any games, i might spend this money on a few cases of Mtn Dew instead.
Either relax the MMR again or get more servers online (IN ALL REGIONS!), because this isn't even remotely acceptable.

I know exactly how you feel, I have a rating of 1920, and I can't join many matches without using my friends list, which seems to have disappeared now :(

I guess I could just play badly, but that isn't in the spirit of the game, and I've been messing around with a Raider anyway.

My problem with the system is having still badly uneven teams in public games, because even if you play on high rating server there is no guarantee the teams will be even at all. Active teambalancer during games would be brilliant.

Then you couldn't play with your friends though.  Without a party system it's already hard enough.

I agree it is very very annoying and needs to be changed. It is also very unfair for higher tier players. I do agree that n00bz need to be in a less difficult environment and players like myself shouldn't be playing with 1550 and below people. But it's not quite as bad if you use quick match.

Apparently it's unfair to super-low people too.
There's a 1300 guy on the forums complaining about how he can't get matches.

Lol there's a lot of rooms around 1400~1500 in the browser and even without those, all he has to do is join a test server to get it up. How hard could it be to get it up to something like 1450?

Use the game browser, it gives you a plus / minus 200 range.

Alternatively, play less hardcore and let your score drop, or stop gaming the rating system and forcing your scores up.

   I agree when you say the rating system needs to be relaxed, and the forums need to be more accurate. I will not claim the title of newbie, I am a 1650 player and I get newbie? Though I *may* be over reacting I believe meteor needs to fix this- I mean seriously fix.

By dieing- a lot especially in matches below your rating. Play matches way above your rating and you loose rank slower and gain faster.

Use the Quick Match option.  It sometimes takes a minute, but it'll find you a game (and ignore rating if need be).  And if it takes longer than a minute or two, change the search region.

Is this still a real thing? I never have problems getting into matches anymore. I actually thought ADH fixed that problem. One remedy I found to this problem when I was having it before was to make friends. Seems sometimes they are in games with openings that wont show up in the browser.

I suppose it's due to quitting matches, 'poor' performance...

Pilot rank - 2121 I have not had too difficult of a time finding open games. It could be possible that ranking level has a deadzone in it. I know sometimes the rooms are very full, but most the time I can find a game in 2-3 refreshes.

probably we shouldn't have ranking, it kinda sounds like segregation to me........
