it's not, but obviously, bungie felt or has data showing that by removing SBMM it would appease the majority and help with issues SBMM introduced. Or else theyi would never have done it. Its really that simple. They had SBMM in place, if it was working and the majority of people wanted/needed it this would not have happened. They are not trying to appease the 1% like you all want to believe. Outside of a few .8 - .3ers for the most part everyone seems happy with it. I get their frustrations, but there is nothign to indicate those people the under .8 kd folks put the time in, or are even close to the majority. Who knows I don't care enough to look it up, but it doesn't add up to me. Crucible numbers are up, not just IB. So... who knows.

[quote]They are not trying to appease the 1% like you all want to believe.[/quote] Check my posts.... As to data. I have 0% faith in Bungie reacting to data. After all, they are listening. . They are yanking the rudder back in forth in the hopes they can keep people playing while they anger one group at a time. In a couple months after all of the low end leave crucible they will make some sort of a change using SBMM and leave it in place for 6-12 months. During this time it will bring lower end players back while slow boiling the upper end who will vent their frustrations on Youtube and Twitch.

I guess we'll see. I get your frustration, but I dealt with the BS of SBMM for a long time. I'm just gonna enjoy it while its not here, for however long that is and no its not bc I want to stomp lesser skilled players, I'm just your average pvp player who has for the most part seen optimization in the playlist since the chagne. Occasionally there are laggy lobbies still, and beavers not near as much.. But that's P2P for ya.
