I heard that your playstyle is matched with others of a similar kind, not sure how true it is…
But I found after a while of playing with my friends we encountered more friendly groups generally speaking. It took a few days but it’s pretty consistently fair games now. We still get our asses handed to us but it rarely leaves me feeling bad.
We’ve had situations where we establish we’re friendly with others and walk away only to hear the fellow friendlies being attacked. We always run back and wipe out the aggressive squad until that lobby is mostly full of nice people.
I’ve also found how you respond to being attacked can improve your situation. We’ve been downed and praised the enemy party for a fair fight (when applicable) and been defibbed as a group and moved on with our raid.
I play a support role in our squad and that seems to have upped our chances of staying alive long enough to defend ourselves and give the boot to rude players.
This is my experience, if your friendly you get into friendly lobbies. Including teams!
However if your not friendly it doesn't take much to be cast into pvp lobbies! Go on a raid with a trigger happy friend....
It takes something like 10 non-pvp rounds to get into the friendly lobbies
And even one kos round will put you into pvp land.
So matchmaking is quick to put pvp people together, and slow to pull PvE people out of pvp.
But even the ideal PvE lobby isn't 100% friendlies. It's 85-95% friendlies, with one or two antisocial people for flavor.
When I spawn in I watch for raider flares and if I see more then I few I knows it's a pvp lobby and just exit asap
