How anyone can prioritize skill over connection in this game...
And it's a vicious cycle. People leave due to the terrible matchmaking and lag and the players that they are targeting via this matchmaking don't play enough to make up the numbers of those who left. Less players then translates into more lag and poorer matchmaking. Bungie than pulls a genius move and doubles down on sbmm by consolidating the playlists 🤦♂️

I’d rather encounter lag/connection every once in a while than unfair, unbalanced matchmaking any day of any week of any month of any year.

Lag was always a problem even when player counts were much much higher and there was no skbmm. Peer to peer is an antique and in a competitive game it is laughable these days.
-
If lag was a problem when connection was prioritized, you think the next step would be to not make it a priority? Logically, do you think connections would be better if we were to match by skill in a 6vs6 p2p playlist?

Na I'll take the lag and good fair games over the lag and bullshit one-sided games.

I think skbmm is perfectly fine and absolutely needed, I don’t think it works or that it will ever work for destiny’s peer to peer and super low player counts. As it is now players should not be able to match with people around the world, where lag is far more noticeable. Of course wait times would go through the roof if they did that. The bottom line; bungie does not want to spend money on destiny, either to make it better or draw more players. They are quite happy taking the money we keep giving them regardless of whether we are happy or not. In summary we are the problem

[quote]In summary we are the problem[/quote] Finally! Someone finally summed it up properly! Kudos to you! I've always wondered why ppl dump $ into an ever increasing black hole for issues and problems. I understand the Vet's dedication to a long loved game, but where and when do you draw the line and say no more? (Unrelated but similar mindset in nature) Like those that run NF, raid, etc on a Tuesday. You know, maintenance that crashes something somewhere day? why? WHY? We know there's issues, we know things will get lost/reset. Why go thru all that? Personally, I don't pour money into this game (never have for any game really). And I especially don't play on Tuesday(s) until I've looked here (in forums) and Twitter to see what crashed, what has problems, if game is down, etc. 10 minutes of investigating can save many hours of frustration. But I've digressed. Anyway, I agree with you. WE are the problem (as far as funding Bungie's monkey circus)
