After researching stats / testing out PVP on a new account, simply turning SBMM off isn't the answer. Far more people will be hurt by the change than we think. I'm not saying every gaming being ultra competitive is right either.... but we need to look a the greater good instead of what is best for the top players.

I don't really care one way or another but the change in skill is evident when you create a new character. I started a hunter after making an account for an ex gf and my god.... Those people that I was playing with were horrible. I almost got my first ran out of medals on her account. While the sentiment that a new guardian shouldn't be thrown in against highly skilled players is a good one, I know for one I don't particularly enjoy almost every game being sweaty. I'm somewhere in the middle range (1.1-1.4 kd depending on playlist) if that matters
