<p>Just a thought. Why not create a sort of ladder system that gives you a fairly generous number of points (say 10,000 to start) and you gain or loose points dependent on match results. For each death, the killer gains 1/1000th of the looser's score and the dead looses 1/1000th of their score. The winners of a match gain the point difference between the two teams, and the loosers subtract an equal amount.</p><p>The score system is used to match teams for events trying to even the overall score as much as possible. So if a pre-made group enters the queue it might have a combined score of 120,000 (about 20,000 per member). The system will look for either another team close to their score, or try to make a group to match out of high scoring individuals. It won't select a group of 6-10,000 point noobs to throw against them.</p><p>Likewise, if your on a loosing streak your going to be thrown against people that have been doing poorly as well, or match up with some real winners to even the scores.</p><p>This shouldn't affect gameplay except for making the matching system more difficult on the BG server. It should result in more exciting matches.</p>

<p>I think that wanting this holy grail of balanced groups to give evenly matched games would backfire pretty badly. Have you ever been in an evenly matched game? They last 20 minutes and you win or lose based on the last few points in the last minute! Now imagine every game lasted it's full duration and was won or lost on a few points...</p><p>Personally I much prefer games that are over fast, wham, bam, win or lose, get out, get your tokens, go back in. The fast and furious games are the best, not the long boring ones.</p>

<p>Just because 2 groups have similar scores doesn't mean that the 2 groups would be equal. It just means that teams wouldn't be totally stacked and give a pre-made group of experienced BG players an instant win card all night.</p><p>Maybe your just here for tokens. I'm actually looking for a good fight.</p>
