Stat reset was a big mistake IMO. With no levels to do proper matching you are frustrating many players by matching them against much better players. From what I understand the stat reset was mainly due to those who cheated to bump their levels. Since the cheats were fixed, the cheaters would have either a) quit winning so their level dropped to their real skill level or b) quit the game. Either way it balanced out. By wiping the matchmaking levels you made all your legit players pay the price instead of just the cheaters. [Edited on 5/5/2005]
