Can you hire someone that knows math???

It seems like no one on the team understands math at all. I know a few players do not understand math, but the Developers should have a basic understand at the very "least".

Internal talk in Plarium.

Dev 1. Ok, we need to set up matchmaking.

Dev 2. Yes, we need it to be balanced.

Dev 1. Make it fair for everyone.

Dev 2. So lets make an example. If someone has a 5400 squad, what numbers are equal and close to it?

Dev 1. Oh, Oh, Oh. I know this answer. 12000 = 5400.

Dev 2. WOW, nice. You are so smart. Those numbers look exactly the same. Lets let those 2 get matched up.

Dev 1. Ok, we finished that, time to put the crayons away.

I mean, this was complained about since before I started playing. We keep hearing that it is being worked on, but it is 100% the same as when I started "ONE YEAR AGO!!!". If the developers just don't know how to balance the game, just tell us already.

Apparently they're adding some sort of guard rails finally or IDK. I don't know what they're doing because the devs aren't being super transparent with this but I explained we can't have people matching up against those with double their hangar power or builds that are more than twice as strong as their best. I asked if they were implementing guard rails to prevent such a thing and Drew said something like that.

Assume Plarium is not stupid and they wanna make money. Then see the result of this strategy. Either people invest money to get better, play more or quit. In all cases, it is good for Plarium. Fewer players that do not pay, more active players and more money :)

Same with other games. I mean, making some money is fine, but it goes overboard.

They introduce weapons completely out of balance. Players buy them for cash or earn them by playing a lot. Then they get nerfed, and a new weapon comes into the game. It is not always like this, but some weapons or bots were so strong that many players saved up a lot to get them, only for them to be nerfed after. 

Similar to fixing the Deathwalker problem. Instead of nerfing it a bit, they completely destroy the meta with overpowered Outlaw. People will save up for it because a team without it will be weak. In a few weeks, it will get nerfed because it will transform the game into a camp fest.
