Poll/Survey question for Mech Players about Match Making

Ok, this is a relatively simple question.  

If Mech Arena could guarentee that they could turn match making into a situation where you would be matched against oppontents (players and/or bots) who a) are within 1000 squad power of your current squad, b) not have mechs or weapons of a higher tier than you have equipped on your current squad, AND ALSO c) fix weapon power levels so players can't manipulate match making by having low starred mechs and pilots but maxed out weapons.

Would you be willing to:

   A) Give up 6 months of new mechs and weapons to get the above done.

   B) Give up only 3 months of new mechs and weapons to get the above done (the thought being that it would actually take 6 months, but you aren't willing to wait the entire time and will live with whatever they can do in 3 months).

   C) None of the above (You need new mechs and weapons!)

   D) None of the above (there isn't a problem)

At the end of the day, this is the big question.  In any software development, you only have 3 levers you can really play with: time to completion, money (including staffing), or requirements.  If you want to get something done you have you have to give up on some existing requirements, increase time to completion and/or increase funding.  The question asks if you would be willing to give up on new stuff if they could actually take staff away and fix the problem.

Thank you for your time!!!!

How do you know who's a bot?

Interesting.  So far... 

   six people willing to - A) Give up 6 months of new mechs and weapons to get the above done. 

   zero for B

   one person for - C) None of the above (You need new mechs and weapons!) 

   and zero for D

I find it incredibly thought provoking that at least some people are willing to give up on new mechs and weapons to get match making fixed and more importantly, that the lone vote for something other than option A was a vote for C instead of D.  I purposfully put both options up there.  A vote for C would indicate that there is a problem with match making, but not one the voter is willing to give up anything to fix.

I'd love to see more people vote for this question (regardless of what the vote is).  

Maybe someone will take note.

Hello guys! Thanks a lot for your comments; we will take them into account.

Note an important point: the development of the new Content and polishing of the Matchmaking system are responsibilities of separate teams. The process doesn't interrupt each other.

I'd kindly ask you to keep a friendly tone of voice here. I understand your emotions, and I'm trying to help as much as I can. However, if you keep commenting aggressively, I will need to mute your account.

That is indeed important information.  

However, the point of this "poll" is to emphasize just how important fixing the problems with matchmaking are to the players.  You know it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT if the players are willing to sacrifice 6 MONTHS of new toys to get it fixed.

Basically we are saying that if there are two separate teams working on these items, pull some staff from the team working on new content and move them over to helping fix some things on the match making end.  

For example: Knowing that the new content team is setting values for weapons, maybe they can work on article C above (fix weapon power levels so players can't manipulate match making by having low starred mechs and pilots but maxed out weapons).

I seriously doubt plarium sees matchmaking as a serious "problem", let alone actually wanting to "fix" it.

This has been an "issue" since game launch...do you seriously think it couldn't have been "fixed" by now?? The last time matchmaking was "fair" was in beta testing!!

From plarium point of view, there's really nothing to fix. Their biggest spenders pay a LOT of money to be able to kill you easily. 

Do you honestly think plarium is going to alienate their biggest customers by solely pitting them against each other???? No. They aren't gonna do that.
