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.

It's kind of hard to enjoy pvp when the sandbox is a mess and people are running the most obnoxious things to play against. I'm already tired of seeing Lunas Howl knowing it's such a free kill compared to other handcannons who actually have recoil...
