I get your point and in theory it sounds good but I don't think that this is a good solution. It'll push cheaters to low level districts which in turn will lead to making the experience for a casual/mediocre player EVEN worse. New players will be matched against a cheater and quit the game right away. There are people running and teleporting, killing everyone in the districts so I don't even wanna know the numbers on how many people cheat less obviously. The real solution is actually fixing the matchmaking and cheater problem by getting rid of EAC which doesn't even work and causes more harm to legit players than to cheaters. If an update like this gets pushed and I get matched against even more cheaters, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would quit playing as it's already barely any fun getting destroyed btb in missions. You rarely get actually properly challenging enemies near your skill level, either you get a complete cake walk of a mission where you go 20/5 or you play against ONLY golds and go 0/10. Now add in an increased amount of cheaters and I'm out, as well as a lot of other players.

I have the same problem, can't even call backup when it's a 2v4 with bronze and silver against 3 golds and silver

I feel like restricting certain servers for rank +195 is gonna cause more issues than what it's worth, considering they're actively controlled by GMs. If you make a new character you'll be stuck playing on low rank servers which in turn makes these restricted servers obsolete. I'm pretty sure it'll end up in even more population problems considering the already small playerbase is split to even lower numbers which'll make matchmaking take even longer than it already takes for both server types. Organized events are a great idea with the addition of rewards for participating or winning. I feel like it could be a lot of fun to have a server wide mission similar to the fight club that takes part around the whole map. It's a shame we'll probably never see huge events like this considering it's already too much work adding a single police light to a new car

My biggest complaint about this "new" matchmaking has been the fact that you'll be matchmaked against 2-3 max level golds and a silver while you're team has a completely new player, 2 low level silvers and maybe a gold player. This kind of MM just deters most new players from ever touching this game. Can't even call backup anymore. I hope that they'll eventually be able to sort it out because I came back after 4 years to see barely, if any positive changes to the game as they're just removing good features like them having made the prestige system completely obsolete as it barely even ties in with the game anymore. We'll probably never see anything good again considering they can't even add police lights to a new car you pay money for

The fact that you're not even able to put any sorts of police equipment on the mirage is mind boggling.

It really is broken, been using it myself a lot recently and I feel like secondary firearms shouldn't be able to outpower rifles and other primary weapons so easily like the colby does

Same problem here, came back after 4 years and decided to make a new character. Seems like everyone who hasn't finished the tutorial is affected by this, hope this gets patched soon.

I have the same issue, I really hope this gets patched soon because new accounts are all missing out on an important reward from that tutorial.

I think a great way to make longer games more worthwhile is by adding (if there isn't already) a noticeable time played bonus/reward, this could be either by boosting your end reward by a certain percentage or just giving a certain amount of money. I really hope they continue on improving the MM because it still seems very inconsistent, sometimes I'll still get enemies that can't even fight back and the next game it's the other way around.

Thanks to the APB team that we can enjoy playing now again. Thanks for this game and all you've done and that you're still working on this game.

I got premium for 2 weeks and I don't wanna lose it because of the servers. It's impossible for me to get on. I've tried for hours now to get in and didn't succeed once.
