I hate aggression based matchmaking
Near extract I walked in behind another raider dropping fuel in front the opposite door. He saw me, immediately started yelling friendly, friendly, friendly. He's obviously up to no good. I have two choices, kill him because he's a legit threat and be banished to PvP lobbies or try to manage him and the arc threat, wait for him to shoot first then kill him. I choose 2. This motherfucker waits til i get overwhelmed by arc and stabs me in the back. This game is lose lose for friendly/trusting players.
I don't want dedicated care bear lobbies, I want modes that reward each play style. I want to be able to go into a matriarch event and level every player with a free kit who's pretending to help. I want to be able to go into Stella and PvP like crazy without wondering how it will effect my ability to complete the week's trials.
Embark, create modes that entice each type of player. Create ways of getting vengeance for those who play outside the lines of common courtesy. Aggression based matchmaking sucks.
