Poe Idlers... forget the matchmaking system

I don't usually run poe 28 unless I am waiting for my fireteam members to log, because we like to do the activities together. Anyways, while I was waiting, I figured I would do some poe lv28 til my fire team logged. I played 3 runs with 2 randoms in each run. The first run was nice and smooth. So I did the next one. I got matched with two other random players. Once we reached round 3, one of the players went idle. I figured something went wrong and just continued the run. I revived him a few times just in case, but apparently, he was long gone. On round 4, the other guy on the fireteam went afk/afc as well. Leaving me to do it solo while they get thrown around by warps. Then I noticed the first one to go idle moved a bit then just went afk/afc again. We reached the final round. They respawned in the lobby and both of them were active as we waited for the final round to begin. So I waited for them to enter first. We pointed at eachother, danced and then they started to do the show me urs and I will show u mine (tbagging) I noticed that they were both active so I moved ahead with the final round. Once the match began. (Varkis is summoning all players) soon guardian downx2... they both just went afk lol wtf... I could have easily soloed it, but I preferred to make them active and decided to just leave em both there. I reported them both as inactivity. Then I enter once again to be thrown into a match at round 3. One guardian stood there alone in the waiting room dancing. So I stand by the gate and the guy starts to melee attack. So I start the match. It was the cabal. I started at it and soon enough... xxx dance. In a bit. Guardian down. 30 seconds passed and no respawn. I revived him and no movement. I figured that he was probably alone cuz he was inactive with the other dudes and they just left him out of frustration. So I figured I'd just do the same. Reported then left. To conclude my experience. There are alot of awesome players out there and at the same time. .. there are ppl who just like the free rides. Poe 28 is no biggy, but imagine having an idler on skolas. I think we are better off without matchmaking systems on the runs that require solid activity and cooperation.

  • Or they could add a fairly quick idle timer and boot the player and allow someone else to take their place? As a player that squeezes in an hour here or there, I would prefer optional matchmaking on all raids, etc. If you have a fire team, or want to go solo, you can, otherwise it will match you. Why is that so difficult for them to turn on. I didn't say implement, because it's already there, they just need an choice screen (like the level choice in certain story missions) that allows you to run a fire team or matchmaking.
