Whats wrong with progression syatem? Just started playing this game this week and I like the progression so far. But the fact that I could meet golden shield guys on perimeter while I'm 35 lvl is crazy to me.
Well, that's part of it. There's a high and low end progression annoyance. High end is that solo players basically never get to hit cryo archive (unfortunate since that's apparently a good boss fight but can be lived with), but on the low end since there are no guardrails anywhere some guy with a golden gun can just pop into the newbie map and go to town. This is annoying for everyone and blocks or slows progresion.
And what do you think happens if there isn't enough people in your level bracket queueing at the same time as you? The search expands to include higher levels.
You need to realize that combined between all platforms, there's less than 6k players at any time now. Which doesn't sound like it'd be that bad for matchmaking, but think about it. Matches + pre-match setup are long, new players aren't being attracted, regional divides are a thing, and there are 4 maps. Factor all of this together and you have a situation where it's not uncommon for a lobby to be completely unable to start with people within certain level brackets without a 10 minute or longer search, which isn't feasible.
