I have waited for minutes without a match window popping up
This change will change everything
IMO, The original point of this thread was not to complain because everybody wants a participation trophy, but to state that the best mode in the game has been made into a tedious not fun mode. And if that is how it’s going to continue to be going forward, then that just sucks for a lot of the paragon player base.
The only one arguing on and on is you, I ignored you the other day and you came over to another thread just to argue with me again lol.
This has nothing to do with agrees and likes, when I say people agree with me I mean people share the same views as me in the same thread. Go read the whole comment section, then come back yeah?
Yet you were mocking people on that one particular comment so saying you sympathize with people when it comes to issues like this one is just not 100% true.
Again, I was giving back the same energy you gave everyone on that thread, I never imagined you would be this fragile.
I already apologized for hurting your feelings bud, now move on yeah? Lol

The fact that accounts of that size have made it through VT undercuts arguments that it’s all about skill. It isn’t, matchmaking is still very flawed, and the seeding process will only serve to amplify those flaws going forward.

IMO, if people looked at themselves more and others less they'd have much more success.
If progressing players are going to be regularly told to ignore BGs before they get to the highest level, then future Paragons are not going be as involved in the game mode as the current ones are. Even if you are only concerned about the conditions at the top, that can't be your ideal scenario. There is always churn is a game like this (existing players leave the game) and that has to be made up by new players joining and progressing up.
Last season was an anomaly in terms of BG participation. There was no war and little to do, so lot of players spent time in BGs. Moving AW rewards to BG obviously helped. I'm surprised the game team reacted as they did in terms of new tiers and token requirements, just based on one season's data. Maybe seeding will help, but given where majority of the players are, the climb up from Gold or so isn't likely to be any more fun next season.
Even if you fancy yourself as the Tiger Woods of MCOC, you should really want that the game attracts and encourages as many people to participate as it can. You can keep telling people to suck it up, know your place and git gud - but you won't have much of a competition to crow about, if the game mode can't engage the people you claim to never face.
MCOC remains entirely, a game where you can pay real money to get fake digital items. So yes, time and effort in a hobby comes with the expectations that you can enjoy your hobby in the Gladiator Track. My take is that since matches are not preplanned, scheduled matches, Kabam needs a big mass of players in all tiers (VT or GC), to ensure that it takes < 5 minutes on average to find a match.
So yes, elite players who don't face non-elite players, will be affected down the line.
Elite-elite players might mostly only face elite-elite players. But some Elite-elite players might face some elite players, who also face some non-elite players. If non-elite players start dropping out (GC or VT), then potentially some Elite players will stop playing when matchmaking takes longer or they can't advance (due to loss of non-elite matchups), then some elite-elite players might stop playing when matchmaking takes longer or they can't advance (due to loss of elite matchups).
You can bet that if only 4k players were in GC instead of 7k, matchmaking would take a lot longer, and there would slowly be attrition since players don't want to wait or can't progress. That 4k player count might start to drop to 3.9k, then 3.7k, then 3.4k, then 2.5k as it starts taking longer and longer to find matches. At a certain point, it could become a death spiral where there are not enough players in VT, and so on. I am not saying that will be the case, but if the gatekeeping is as harsh as you seem to want it to be, I can certainly see it heading in that direction.
Kabam probably wants more players present in each tier than actually deserve to be in it. This buffer or softness to the "deserve" player cap makes it so that matchmaking does not take too long.
There's a fine line between motivation and exclusivity. That line has passed.
BGs will force players to either get better or quit. IMO, the more players with a loser's mentality to quit the better.
When did you reach GC this season? that experience may have colored your opinion.
Modders ruins all games/modes, not a new discovery.
-going to refrain myself commenting on current VT setup, which is a base for next season's seeding.
I personally went on a ~20 match win streak at the start of week 3 to make it to the GC.
If that’s the case, then it should be appalling to be able to locate so many in such a cursory search (approx. 1/5–although there are also plenty of smallish Cav/TB accounts in GC that I believe would struggle against nearly every player I’ve faced the past few seasons).
While it may not technically impact a player directly, where it does seem to pose a problem is in the way it seems to affect the final rankings. If, as it appears, players are not reranked after any bans that occur, then cheating potentially disadvantages every player below the highest cheater who is caught. The team hasn’t commented specifically on this to my knowledge, but past screenshots of rankings would suggest that cheaters who are caught retain their ranking but lose the prizes.
In my opinion, that should change promptly if that is how it works.

People aren't going to play it if it's an absolute slog for everyone who isn't among those you deem as better.
The effort needs to be worth the stress. You can make digs at me because I said I'm not trying. I really don't care.
I played all Season. I wasn't bashing my head against a wall for 10 Tiers because it's overboard. The expectation for Players to have a perfect streak 10 Tiers in a row is ridiculous. Just to get to where the actual Ranking starts.
You can call them losers all you want, but that attitude will result in a competition no one under the Top Players wants to play, and an absolute miserable experience for the ones who remain to scramble in. Good luck with that.
