At least UK is not every single server from S14 onwards being crammed in the same bracket. On my merged LA server (212 - 236), 5 months younger than S14, player count dropped off rapidly since cross server sage came out. So far, only 2 players on the entire merged server group has won any adv refines from sage. It is pretty disheartening to see bully of the battlefield title given to players with under 2k points.

Most players has already given up on arena and spacetime, and now are giving up on sage too (or in many cases, quitting altogether). Less than half the players that used to attend 9tails invasion and gnw are still present compared to just two weeks ago. With group activity levels dropping rapidly.

On my lvl 75 S302 char.. the first cross server sage involved myself and 5 other lvl 75s being sent to a field of lvl 40s and 50s. There were zero players between lvl 55 - 74. Matchmaking is pretty broken there. Wouldn't be surprised it would turn a lvl 50 away when he see me killing his entire team with just chojuro's standards at start of round 1.

Second cross server sage put me in a lvl 73 to 77 bracket, with players ranging from 25k to 35k power. Then there's a lvl 84, with 46k power in the field. This lvl 84 went on a 24 streak rampage, murdering every single player he came across in round 1. Pretty sure there are players between lvl 78 and 84 that would fit far more than that guy. Getting destroyed round 1 like that is pretty discouraging to anyone on the receiving end, as it is not a fair match at all.

Third cross server sage put me in a lvl 79 to 84 bracket, with most players between 40 - 50k power. My first opponent is a lvl 84 with 55k pow, 20k higher than me. I did not face a single player below 40k power or lvl 79 by the time I was knocked out. This post was last edited by IamAscrub at 2017-6-3 08:30
