Changing matchmaking did close to nothing when there aren't enough players online to form a good match.
I've been running into people both well out of my skill band, and people with terrible connections.
We need more people to play PvP, and you need to give them an incentive to stick around.
I'd start by giving new players good loot so that they stand a chance against more experienced players, but I'm no expert in this.
I just know we need more people to play PvP so that matchmaking will put people in fair lobbies.

I agree, but what has Bungie ever done for the PvP community? I used to play PvP and PvE roughly 50/50. Hell, it killed me to grind for the weapons that they are spewing out now (Mountaintop, Luna's etc), but looking back, it was worth it. But it has been totally abandoned over the past few years, the lack of regular new maps, cross play, cheats not being dealt with, sandbox changes, matchmaking that never works, influence from streamers...the list seems endless. If they disconnected cross play, used PvP designated servers, perma banned cheats and implemented tier system matchmaking, I'm sure a lot more players would come flooding back. I certainly would.
