    Hello Devs and fellow Bayers,

    The last couple of weeks I come across a new phenomenon with the matchmaking, players with more than a 1000 Infamy less than the rest of the players.

    This can happen with fleeting, which can mess up the matchmaking big time. But this happens also without any fleeters present.

    You are not able to fleet with someone with more than 800 Infamy differences between the players. And for good reason. So, how come if that is not allowed, how then do we get people with even a bigger difference than the other players in the battles?

    Look at the screenshots below the text. And btw it has not happened once, but several times.

    Regards,
    Flint

    The mk6 in the bottom battle has a low Infamy for a reason, he/she had the biggest ship, strongest weapons, but did the least amount of damage.

    As they are in a MK6 ship they get pushed up the curve a bit to make it more even.
    There is no hope for the tiny MK1 ships with common / uncommon gear to take one of these down so they get pushed ahead to make the match more fair.

    So would you prefer to see these guys playing other players with less than 100 infamy with tiny ships?
    Would this be "more fair" to you?

    Thanks for reminding me. My apologies, I changed it right away. It was not my intention to name and shame.

    No, it does not. I am just pointing out there is a too big of a gap.

    Yes and I explained why said gap was there :)
    Putting them in matches with you is much more fair than letting them club the seals just starting out.

    Does it really matter?
    we can still find them because we can see guild names:p
    but now seriously:
    it's fair to push them higher so they don't get matched with tiny boats but there is one problem team which contains more of these players usually loose because they are too bad to help their teammates and they die too quickly so they can't get skills so they are going to stay at this low infamy

    You would hope by playing regularly, their skill would improve and therefore they will progress.
    Human nature is the more you practice, the better you will become. If there are players who are playing a lot but not learning anything then there is no hope for them.

    Thanks for the reporting and we will take of them and take appropriate action! :)

    FYI: it is enough to PM here or in game - with Player #ID and name ( not pictures needed) and a short description of the offense! and always use the report in game function as it is important for us to track.

    3 battles in a row with 4x mk6s with way to low Infamy:

    Seal clubbers or just bad players? One of those mk6 even floated, so mostly a cheater. And most mk6s have the strongest weapons, but still most do the least amount of damage, especially in regards to their weapons.

    As we look, into the depths, of the balanced matchmaking.
