See this is the thing. Guys like him run the duma routers and they know damn well where they are being hosted from and where they are being matched with. Don't think it is just the great players either. All of us. I have looked also. If you open the router up and let Bungie do work they will gather in players from all over the globe for NO REASON at all at least it must be for no reason since skill is not at all a priority LOL. Amazingly though if you give yourself a tighter circle to work in. Even just take it down to The States. Now there are still as many or more players and such pooled. I am just floored that they even put out that paper thin lie for the weekly. It is like they don't know that anyone can see what is going on. Bottom line though the real answer is simple. They don't care. I posted my reply before I even listed to it all. He is so dead on. He is like most of us Bungie. You know what he is MOST upset with. That we are in year 3 and you still feel it is perfectly fine to LIE to us just as casually as breathing air. To tell us in no uncertain terms we are wrong and you are right while doing so without a single thread of truth in anything you are saying. Do not I repeat do not tell us connection is the first thing considered in matchmaking. In doing so you are saying we are too dumb to figure out that is not at all the case and guess what? We are not.
