THE LITTLE APPLESAUCES OMG <| sep |> I ' ve made more posts about the matchmaking and connections than that oneI don ' t doubt it , I just don ' t have the timedesire to creep your profile that hard . I ' m not downvoting you . I value strong opinions and a good discussion . I ' m subscribed to your yt channel because I like to hear your opinions . Take that as a compliment if you will . I figured it probably wasn ' t you , but I also figured if someone was following me and down voting my stuff because they were butthurt , they ' d probably read the message before they did so . I ' m indifferent if this post get ' s downvoted as no one besides you or people creeping my profile to mass downvote me will see it . I just wanted whoever was doing it to understand that they shouldn ' t use it as a petty weapon , because that will ruin a lot of discord on this sub . The reason why I keep coming back to the game , albeit less and less , is the fact that it ' s amazing . Nothing else like it exists . But then at times it feels kinda pathetic because I seem to hit the same frustration over and over again . But hey , that ' s my choice . I understand . You have something that ' s really great and you think of all the stuff that could be and then you get excited at the prospect , and then disappointed at the reality . But yeah , I ' m kinda tired of the points that I get from a lot of people on these posts . Usually there are great comments both for and against but a bunch of them , and I ' m sorry but I consider some of your points as part of them , just dont add anything to the conversation . Disregarding my anecdotal experience on a technicality is frustrating . So I ' ma do this . I ' ll talk to the network experts at work and get some professional help for logging my matches , both geo location and pings . I ' ll log 50 matches and bring back the data . I see this every single F $% ng match via my Netduma router but I just cant get a data dump from it since there is no console nor API . I ' ll ping you personally when I make a new post with the data and then you really cant dismiss my points . i ' m tired of the discussion as it is now . Peace out . I ' m not really dismissing your anecdotal data . I ' m sure you have had laggy matches and bad connections . I know it can be frustrating when people ask for proof when you know what you saw , as if they don ' t believe you , but it ' s not that simple . My wife will come home and complain how her day at work went . She ' s not complaining about her problems so I can try and help her fix them . She wants to vent her frustrations . So I listen and commiserate . If someone comes here and complains , it ' s impossible for me to know if they have a legitimate gripe and want to resolve the issue , or if they just want some catharsis . If they want catharsis , I have no real problem with that outside of fact it can make the sub a little unfun to read . And if the sub remeains unfun to read for extended periods of time , people are just gonna not come back . But if people are going to tweet at Bungie and demand it to be fixed , then we should be going at them with the big guns , not the finger guns . Finger guns rarely solve any problems . There are a lot of intolerable shitheads on the internet that just spew toxic horseshit , and they ' re all around intolerable people . Bungie has no reason to listen to their complaints about SBMM because the way they are presenting their complaint is by writing their note in their own feces , tying it to a brick , and throwing it through Bungie HQ ' s window . If you rationally show that your experience is severly hampered and do so like a rational adult , people will take your side even if they don ' t have the same problem . Nobody wants to side with the toxic shithead . People who want SBMM to keep from getting stomped will side with you if you show you ' re not having a fun time . Otherwise , they may assume you are exaggerating , or even imply you are disingenuous in your desire for CBMM because you want to dumpster noobs . Everyone likes the humble , magnanimous guy who earnestly presents his viewpoint and backs up what he says to the best of his ability . No one likes the loudmouth that is steadfast and unbending in his viewpoint and dismisses alternative viewpoints . That was really my only point . It ' s super easy to get people on your side if that is what you want . You just have to be the mystical internet paragon i . e . the reasonable guy that proves his point .
