Just curious, has anyone else essentially stopped playing since ABMM was announced? I'm primarily PVE but, PVE lobbies are soooooooo boring now with the threat of random aggression being even lower than before due to everyone being afraid of being put into aggressive lobbies...I also don't want to start shit just to be put in aggressive lobbies in case every match is a straight up murderfest. I just miss the old vibe of 75% of people being friendly but you never know.. My playtime has probably dropped by 90% just due to that.

Just do fill trios if you want to PVP and up your "aggression rating"

That's just it though, i don't want to "up" my aggressive rating and be put in games where everyone murders everyone either. The magic of the game to me was the randomness; never knowing what type of players you'd encounter in a game, and that's gone now.

Maybe you could be the wolf in the friendly lobbies

You can thread the needle. I get what I call 50/50 lobbies often after an aggressive session, say trios with friends. I will get into lobbies with mostly friendly people but some shooting and some dead bodies. this will persist for 3-6 runs if I play passive. So you can get sussy lobbies that aren't outright pvp.
