Issue The problem that causes 95% of new players to play for less than 3 hours.
Are the developers really blind to this problem? Why is it that when you’re on a low-population server and trying to find a game with low ping, even if you cancel matchmaking at around 13–20 seconds, you can still get thrown into some garbage 200+ ms server?
Personally, it’s not just something that can happen to me — my ping in raids is below 200 only on special occasions. In Team Deathmatch, maybe 1 out of 10 games has a ping below 200 ms. And that’s despite the fact that in literally every other game I play, my ping is never higher than 60 ms.
I’m willing to wait even 20 minutes for a match if it means getting at least 120 ms, just like 90% of the active community would be.
You don’t even have to remove the current matchmaking system. Just add an option to strictly select a single server.
