To get ZOS to get ZOS to fix their broken, *** matchmaking system. A game of 2v3v4 or 3v3v4 shouldn't happen unless people drop out of the fight mid game. If you cannot guarantee a full match at the very beginning, at least, then you should allow players to leave without a penalty. Now please, since you made this a base game feature, treat it like a base game feature. Wait, no, I take that back. It's clearly already receiving that treatment. Treat it better than a base game feature and actually do something about it.

    I feel your pain. It's an issue with the vast majority of games. Which is very frustrating when it takes 20-30 mins to queue with my main and then have a game where it's 3v3v4

    Did Summerset break the queues again? 20-30 min to get into a match? That's how it was at launch, but I started playing heavily again last month and solo queuing I didn't wait more than 2 min to get into a game, ever (Xbox.)

    Not for everyone. They implemented a more rigorous MMR system and it means players with high MMR can't get games. 20-30 mins is very normal for high MMR chars. I've seen queues longer than an hour. And then you get in and it's a 2v3v4. RIP

    What I’m hearing is that if you want the old queue times, you need to create a new character since MMRs are character-based :(

    That's correct. And it's also totally bonkers. Like if their target is to create more meaningful matches and prevent people from pug stomping newbies, how does char based MMR work? I see people rolling new chars that are identical to their main that they've been playing for 4 years and they go and destroy new players. GG

    If they want it to work the it should be account based. Or at least, class based (since there's no strict separator between mag/stam/hybrid).

    I'm not complaining though. The only way to get games quick enough is on my alts.
