And all the while the devs are watching cross-eyed and with an expression of utter confusement while drooling a bit. 'But hey, it's the playerbase' Oh well, it's hard to find competent staff these day, WG has to work with the ones that can't find other employ.

Yet, they gave the final word and all will be as it is. Nothing will change about subs for the coming patches. They gave their best twists to see if anyone would fall for it and they won't mention them again. WG, diversity in ways to try to fool you. In the meantime the gameplay will become even more passive, so the opposite effect is achieved. Well done WG, time to find a new ways to make money out of the remaining players. In the new year we shall see what the playernumbers do since the 'testing' of bottomcrawlers commenced.

Well, they talk about adding 'diversity' to the gameplay. Problem is, they are taking the little diversity there was away by adding these *things*. The little action there was is now gone if there is a sub. Congratz WG, your thickheaded arrogance had the opposite effect. Stagnation. Now, try to think again when looking at the stats and give a thought to why players played less then 5 battles in the type and hated it, instead of claiming that people who played more, liked them more. If you can't figure it out, hire new staff to interpret the data, because the people you have now are not the most competent. But well, if you can't make it work and have been at it for 3 years, just adding it and crossing your fingers must the best solution... For now, the only good thing you did by hammering them into the game, is that they are not wide-spread. Gotta celebrate the small things in life.

And again WG is catered. "It's the playerbase" They can dodge responsibility, shift blame and carry on. MM sucks, all except WG knows that. But the core lays in the inability of WG to make players do their best. Even the stream dudes just say: "Ah, who cares, just have some fun" Missions are all grinding based, just play enough games and you make it. No where are you punished for bad gameplay, since WR is meaningless. 44%'er? Just let them stumble through. Just played your first few battles and as soon as you can find W and the left mouse button you can take a T10 and go. Who cares you make life hard for your teammates. Complain about it? "We can't help players are not up to standard" WG made a mess they can't clean up and killed off a great game by short-sighted bull. They lack the competence to fix the core issues, so just let it spiral out of control. Blurring the line between classes, adding classes without a clear role and focussing on "run fast, spam fast, die fast" gameplay. Quantity over quality. Either run with it or leave. Should they be ashamed? I think they should, but their condesending attitude, sheer arrogance and lust for a quick buck make them sell out faster then a Minotaur can shoot. Long term vision? Nah, just launch a new class, say you are 'life testing" it and fiddle around with it until your deadline arives and let it go life. Conjure up some secret stats and ignore the rest. See, they are a great succes and many players love them. No specifics, just vague terms without a definition. The vaguer the better, so people can endlessly discuss about it and not a WG employee has to read it because somewhere the discussing will derail and can be ignored. Send out a vaguely worded survey WG can interpid to suit their needs. Never publish results, no-one can make a point. Yeah, "we care about your opinion" marketing bull.

And that's one of the policies they employ that shows their complete lack of sense about good gameplay. And since they are so arrogant as to believe their own fantasy, they do not listen to player feedback about those, let's put it mildly to avoid any a shut-down of this threat, less thought through actions. So just accept the incompetance displayed by WG and either leave like so many or stop caring about good gameplay like the rest. They dug their own grave and are not stopping until the inner circles of hell are reached.

Well, it's a positive attitude that you think highly of the mental capabilities of WG, but I have found that it must be more then not caring. Could be that it started out that way and they simply lost their competent staff along the way, but when your game is dying and you feel the need to merge servers to keep player numbers up, it can't be just 'not caring' anymore, it became a deeprunning problem of not having competent staff. But that's just my take on it, you are free to thing different. *edit a P.S. If you wanna enjoy the game, do not play for a win, just farm some stuff and try to live untill the end. It seems that's what WG has in mind.

Correct. But WG can't encourage players to play better, because they are clueless about what that would be and how to fit all their newest stuff in. Besides, why would they even bother? They just push players to higher tiers asap and cash a bit on them, no need for good play there. Add their wonky algorithms to that and you have a steamroll every other game. But 'it just happens, what can they do about it?'

Bold of him to assume WG has even the slightest intention of promoting communication and teamplay in this game :-)

It must have really hurt you, that wasn't the intention. Shame that the subtle parts do not reach you, you might have had a much better evening, maybe even a slight smile.

And there I was, thinking of Canadians as polite and modest ;-)

I don't expect anybody to do. Nope, MM is a piece of garbage -period- Oh well, can't expect a clueless bunch of wannabees to build a solid piece of programming. Besides, MM is the least of the fails WG has produced lately, it's just the most obvious.

The Americans like to feel superior to anyone else in the world even though they have no reason to do so... At least give the Brits their last moments on the world stage, they are fading away rather quickly :-P

Never mind, can't expect you to follow my way of thinking. I was referring to the comment about sarcasm.

The irony...

Sealclubber alert :-P Have day that I easy win all games, doesn't mean I have a good day. Running after a doomed enemy is, in my opinion, not what makes a game playable or not... But have it your way.

Well, someone has to be right one day. We will see.

I highly doubt they will last very much longer, so it's pretty safe.

Well, someone has to be to mouth of the silent minority ;-)

English isn't my first language, but I'm pretty sure "is never going to" is not the same as "has not ever done so". And if you could quote me on the part were I claim to be an expert, it would be very helpful. Now, thank you for your valuable insights. I will certainly take it under advicement.

Cleveland a Tier VI? Essex T9 CV? Must be rather old and the dear old colonel is trying to make a point about WG improving the MM sometime in a distant past. Because "if B comes after A, B must be the direct result of A" kind of reasoning.

"We are very sorry you do not agree with the vision we have for this game, but the majority of players thinks this is just awesome'' Here, saves you a pointless ticket at what WG calls "playersupport"

And then twitter comes with this beauty, what a timing...

So they changed out a few numbers, I bed it took a highly skilled programmer the better part of his working week to get that done. But ok, Ishould have made it a bit more clear, I should have taken the readers understanding into account and said 'not gonna adjust the MM beyond a small number change to add or subtract a certain class.' My bad, I overestimated the readers, I should have known better.

This entire topic is a waste of time. WG is never gonna adjust the MM. They don't care anymore and all they are gonna say is that it works as intended, it's all fair and balanced and 'sometimes thinks happen'. All these answers are complete and utter bull, but they keep handing them out anyway. Never have they given a serious, well argumented answer. Their entire model is based on the fact that MM is a RNG machine and with all the added fails of the last year the archaic piece of poo has lost any and all meaning. Look at the fail in the brawls, look at what that thing conjures in a random battle. They stopped caring like a middle-schooler stops caring about math because they can't make heads or tails from it. And now that the winter of this game is on the way, they surely aren't going to adjust any of it, they need all their attention on the last drops of money they can squeeze.

You know they aim for quantity over quality? This is WG's wet dream. Well, that is your opinion. For WG this is what they think off as good It was fun for the other side, so WG has it's goal achieved.
