matsuri or bonds...i think oasis had to choose between giving players a fight with equal power/level, or giving players a short queue. usually there aren't a lot of players in the queue at a time, and ofc even less players that are similar power. the pool is even worse for bonds cos whales just abound in the bonds queue. finding you an exact match might take a lot of time, and players don't want long queue times either.

so far, i've managed to get good matches in matsuri so it isn't really a problem for me. what i do is try to remember the times the whales tend to queue, as well as ask my group members if they're queueing, or who they meet. roughly, that tells me if the players in the queue are good targets or not.

honestly for bonds...i'd rather the retreat b/utton be an option in every single fight.

also heads up, the mods might ask you to move this to the suggestions forum, if we're going to be discussing things that need improvement in the game.
