    Are you really bragging about pubstomping? That's sad.

    Unfortunately, a premade group will always have some advantage over a pickup group.

    Not only is the premade group more likely to be in voice comms with each other, but if they're a regular group that plays together often, they likely work together better as a team. They know their teammates' capabilities and habits. They know exactly what is meant by particular phrases called out in voice. And most important of all, they know who on their team they can trust to get an essential task done right, and they can assign them to get it done.

    A regular group that games together often will always have a massive advantage over any randomly-formed group. Every team PvP game in existence has been able to prove that time and time again.

    However, you can't force teams to break up and all solo queue and hope to get into the same game by chance. People like playing with their friends, they like playing with people they know they can rely on.

    So you have to solve it another way. You have to find some way to get the premade groups to face other premade groups, and get PUGs to face other PUGs. Depending on the game's reward system, simply offering superior rewards for a game mode that requires a fully pre-formed group may not be enough, as it can often turn out that rapidly stomping PUGs results in more rewards being earned per hour than long, slow, hard-fought fights against equally skilled and communicative teammates, and if you make the rewards for the pre-made stuff too good, you risk alienating solo players who feel they're being punished for not playing with a regular group.

    So really the only solution is to program the matchmaker to try to pit similar premade groups against each other. With so few active users this may be difficult for Eternal Crusade to pull off and still have reasonable queue times for premade groups.

  5. Vocal shit posters, yes a very logical argument including fallacious slang. You think its condescending to ask you to consider you're options? You don't like an environment that doesn't cater to your whim? Hey you can always quit that's a logical thing for you to do. Quit until the fix society, people or even the game from including other players. Clans are not a problem, they are the nature of every game and facet of the real world. Also that whole first part, about watching me construct a response, is impossible unless you have some third party applications.

    Didn't say there was, just don't go bragging about it on the forums. It's not something to brag about :rolleyes:
  7. spoken like a real piece of shit. Go ahead, drive the playerbase away. Its not like your group dosent get rolled by myst every day, or any other actual guild anyway.

    I'm not sure you're particularly clear on what a fallacy is in regard to logic, but I'll move past that. What matters is that you're doing exactly what I mentioned previously in this thread: Acting as if slotting pre-mades against other pre-mades is somehow victimizing those pre-mades. That in itself is laughable and indicative of the fact you're not interested in anything other than easy wins at other players' expense.

    They could limit the size of the warparty to 5 until gvg or a proper MM algorithm is implemented. however, to be honest i havent had issues with clans yet. I rarely face them and when i do.. Well, space marines always get stomped by the green tide! WHAAAAAGH!!!
