it really does make you wonder about the matchmaking and the number of people playing this game. At level 48 I would think there would be a decent size pool of players available so i wasn't facing the same opponents over and over.

Most likely it's because of matchmaking and player population of the game. I'm on lvl 34/35 and got to destroy the same player 3 times in one day. Not a problem tho - free minerals :D

3 times in a day? At 34/35? Wow, that's matchmaking not player population. FTX seems fixated on using player rating for matchups. Why is beyond me. There are so many other metrics that make more sense to me. I think player rating is a meaningless statistic for matchmaking; it simply indicates a player's activity level. Who cares if I'm at a rating of 1200 and my opponent has a rating of 500 if we have similar finca and player levels?

Matchmaking is not based on rating - that's a fact. You're right about activity level tho. As for me matchmaking looks fine. I get to attack players from 32 up to 36-37 so I think it's fair. The only problem is that same players show up.

It seems to me that they use rating as a factor. Why do you say it's a fact that they don't?

Considering it as a fact could be a little too much from me as I'm not a developer, but that was a conclusion from that I get to fight with people from 250 up to 800 while I'm at ~500-550.

It's really irritating and boring, i got player's on my map that I raided or skiping about 20 times.
When we attacking same levels, before update, that problem didn't exist.

Same with wars, system can match my cartel three time in the row with same cartel.

What is your opinion? Do you like attack same players in the circle?

It has nothing to do with the update. It's been this way the whole time I've been playing.

I get attacked by the same 15-20 people, and I attack the same 15-20 people, with the occasional variant thrown in. It's always been this way. ****, I've had the same player on my map 3 times at the same time!

No way, the population of enemy on map was very decreased after update ( not last )
Definitely on my map.

This is what some people wanted and we got it. Basically match ups to be handcuffed to approximately levels no higher than 3 above yours or something to that effect. Personally I didn't mind having challenging match ups mixed in with easy ones before it resulted in variety. Now it is in essence the same old crackers everyday.
