@CROkiller92Yep matchmaking is clearly having an effect on player retention which is clear to see if you play in Australia.
Pre 2042, 3 years after release with BFV, we had a dozen full conquest servers to choose from during peak evening and weekends and that was just on one platform, Xbox and doesn't include BT servers.
Now I'm lucky to play full 64 servers in Exodus Conquest during peak times.
Vast majority of rounds start with bots during peak and it's the same pool of players more or less.
If I leave, Matchmaking will either put me back on the same server if a slot is still available or put me in a queue with 5 or 6 other players.
Then we normally have to wait for the other match to end and then those players get matched into our server.
And this is supposed to be picking from a pool of players across 3 platforms!
Removing the server browser has been a complete and utter disaster and even I just quit now on occasion and go and do something else, and I'm a battlefield addict!
It's very disappointing to hear that you and many others are having such a difficult time trying to get access to matches.
This should not be happening in a Battlefield game and imho DICE should make it their number one priority to ensure that ALL players have access.
It's no wonder players are leaving, there is no fun in spending hours hanging around in lobbies waiting in the hope you might be able to play.
