Hello,

That 1 thing is matchmaking on players sitting at the camp AFK or in their menus.

Please. I beg. This is by far the most broken/annoying thing about the game. I literally spend 50% of my time matchmaking because of this. Its a huge waste of time and further extremely frustrating.

I dont know who i'm more upset with at this point. PCF or the actually players being so out of touch given how long the game has been out. "No these are not new players for the most part" and even if they where new it would only take a handful of times to realize what was going on. Its not rocket science to remember to close your group.

But NO these players dont want to close their group on purpose bc they dont want to waste their own time waiting to find players to match with yet they are totally fine wasting other players time as they sit AFK, at the crafting table or in their menu. its so fing messed up and ass backwards.

There has to be a better solution then what we have now. This has gone on long enough PCF.

The solution is Not "Just be the host". Until certain bugs get fixed related to being the host, this isn't an option.

At this point PCF needs to force close the privacy if you're at the camp and either in your menu,crafting table or AFK and only allow your privacy group to be open if you're actually ready to play.

Like put in some system that you have to manual click that you're ready and if you go into your menu or crafting or go AFK it removes you from being ready.

Or Just take Open privacy away at the camp for now and just allow it to be open when you're at the start of an expedition.

This is just infuriating to still be dealing with this 4 1/2 months in.
