Bungie,
I know you probably won't read this and even if you do then you probably don't care, but I still feel like this needs to be said. First there was the mistake on the posting of incorrect weapon patch values. This in itself could be a common mistake and be forgiven because you owned up to it. However, now we have this. We complain about matchmaking, you say it is due to the lower number of people in matchmaking due to the presence of SRL. SRL ends, matchmaking is just as bad if not worse. You say that you didn't change anything. Now you come out and say that you changed matchmaking to be more skill dependent than connection based to create a more competitive crucible environment. More competitive crucible? Yes please. I love that idea, but there is one glaring error. When you make it so that you match against guardians that are at similar skill levels with seemingly no preference to connection you introduce latency. Latency that literally makes it nearly impossible to play at the level that the stats say you are. I'm not a top tier PVP player, but I would at least like the chance to compete against people of my own caliber with out randomly dying or without running up against an immortal opponent. An idea is to maybe make the classic playlists purely skill based matchmaking and leave the current crucible connection based. That gives the option for the people that want to be sweaty to go be sweaty and still provide a fun environment with less latency in other aspects.
Even with that rant, I want to say that I enjoy this game. Heck, I just restarted a character in order to help me keep content fresh. What I ask and what I believe the community asks is for you to not only say you will include us in the talks about changing the game, but to also issue an apology for having mislead us. Not just say whoops you caught us we have been tinkering. You need to say that you are sorry for tinkering and not informing us. We are a pretty understanding community. Give us a chance already.

That is exactly the stuff that I'm talking about. I can understand if one person is lagging in a fireteam, but when you have matches in 6v6 and there are at least 3 red bars on each team...Come on...

Check the latest news update. They are fixing

They are dropping a patch with Iron Banner. It goes active the day after Iron Banner activates. This is good, however they are only doing this with Iron Banner and no other game modes so that they can gather more data. IF it goes well, they want to change the other matchmaking in the future. I hope this is the answer. I hope it works. Something needs to be done. I think thats something everyone can agree on.
