Thoughts on the 'Feedback Loop'
I don't want the risk of being called 'toxic', so I will refrain from saying that I consider this current 'feedback loop' to be a joke. Well, maybe it's not even that. So I rather say that I am very ...

Only if these official servers would show up in the Portal server browser as well (or they start to provide a separate server browser instance for the official game modes). I guess, the former is a small change and just a flag to toggle on the backend to ensure they are not hidden, but I am not 100% sure about how they have implemented that (maybe the official Rush servers were visible in the server browser, but I never checked).
The reason why they are currently stuck in the 'Waiting for player' loop is because of the restrictions in place for match making that prevents them from being put in servers outside their region. If nobody play the game in their region, this would not help them (but also not make matters worse) of course.

I understand what you mean about the restrictions preventing players to be put in servers outside their region but I really feel they will have to make a change to this. I am sure it is something they could quickly find a solution to the region issue.
It really is something I feel strongly about so I would really want DICE to do whatever it takes to ensure all players can get into matches.
As you know we have been campaigning daily for the removal of MM so any replacement would ultimately have to work for all players.
Hopefully your suggestion coupled with a few tweaks by DICE will be possible in the near future. 🙂

If DICE can find a way of implementing your suggestion that allows players to find matches outside their region, then it could definitely act as a good stop gap, especially if it's something they could implement very quickly.
In the meantime I plan to continue to push daily for a permanent solution on the usual four threads.
I just want to make sure that we don't abandon the players who currently can't even get into matches.
