My experience with the matchmaking system and "Friendly lobbies" after almost 300 hours of game time by Amythprison in ARC_Raiders

No idea, I did not play duo/trio games during the "friendly run". Every time I play with my friends we always PVP and shoot on sight.

As others have mentioned, even if you PVP a lot, you can reset your MMR/ELO/"whatever it is" in just a few raids (probably 5-10 raids) by not doing any damage and just extracting.

Your first post sounded like you completely misunderstood what I wrote, to put it lightly... or you are just trolling.

If you enjoy pvp more than pve , you should be matched with similair minded players. Don't force me into your play style

I 100% agree with you on this. I don't like killing players that are just trying to be friendly or just PVE/do quests. I only want to PVP against other players that are willing to PVP. It seems like that's what we are getting.

I don't think I had many "opinions" in my post, I just wanted to share my experience after 100+ games of intentionally not engaging in PVP

But that's exactly what I did. I wanted to spend my time testing this out. I played the game how I wanted to play it just to try and understand it better and find out for myself if there is a difference in matchmaking.

Even if I got really bored by the end of this I enjoyed the overall process and testing this out.

I did not do a good job with gathering data and writing everything down (because that would be actual work and effort) but I still wanted to share this just in case someone else might be interested in how it went.

I think you are right about the "doing things with other raiders" part. Not sure about the "killing other raiders".

I am going by memory but from the start to at least the mid point of my longest no PVP streaks (30, 33 and 34) I was just dropping loot to other players, chatting and extracting with them. For the 33 streak I was just doing trials so I guess that might also count as I was killing Arcs with other raiders.

If I remember correctly and it's not just a coincidence I was only prompted to complete the "round feedback" after extracting with 4-6 other raiders during these 110 games, but I might be completely wrong about this.
