EA Wants to RUIN Matchmaking?

Takes off glasses and pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration at the lack of any form of ethics from EA.

Sounds similarly to what was talked about last year about Activision.  Filling a patent for manipulate matchmaking in games to encourage gamers to spend more money and estimating fair play. 

If publishers were more open about these things then a lot of people might be happy with the situation rather than bringing hurt on their asses...

Here's an idea, completely free for us (i.e. in the public domain); Have different servers for your game where you can pick what type of matchmaking you want... there are already different servers for different areas of the world and different servers (in some games) for ranked and unranked matches, why not different servers based on matchmaking? Ones where you are matched against people the same level as you, others where getting streaks is hard because if you get a losing streak or winning streak you get put with worse or better players and servers where you are matched against players with the same recent results you get in the other servers... i.e. some games will be almost the same as eSport servers and others will be all the five year olds playing Star Wars on their dad's account.

I know that big business HATES transparency but you're much less likely to piss people off doing things behind their backs when your and their expectations and desires don't match (also this way gamers are more likely to continue playing as they can decide for themselves what they enjoy - being beaten down and finally learning the skills to beat other, better players or playing matches they see as fair and more a test of skill rather than knowing the map inside out or paying to get gud or being guided through an entertaining (if not too challenging) set of matches where players are paired with people who they will either win or lose to.

EA is the devil...

See the only thing is and I could be completely wrong and feel free to correct me if I am but hasn't wargaming the company behind the "free" to play world of tanks been doing the EOMM for a while
