Many individuals have been speculating over the solution to the issue of drastically one-sided pub matches, offering such poorly conceived solutions such as: "an mmr system that works for small communities" , and "ban party/clan stacking in pub matches"... These are poorly conceived because they only seek to treat the symptoms of a much greater problem, instead of trying to fix the problem at the source. Attempting to address any problem like this is as foolish as trying to apply pressure to a headshot wound, or attempting to fix a hemorrhaging gash by taking Tylenol; it is a fruitless endeavor! (Sad!)
Therefore, for the sake of brevity I present the main problem to you readers as such; Warband veterans and Bannerlord newcomers can not peacefully coexist in the same pub servers, at least right now.
So how do we fix this problem that may very well be causing many new-players to be "turned off" of the multiplayer experience, once and for all? Segregation.
Taleworlds should add an option for newcomers to the multiplayer branch of the game that simply reads "Have you played multiplayer in a Mount and Blade game before?"
If answered "Yes", the player will automatically match into servers with other M&B multiplayer veterans, and if answered "No" they will automatically match into separate but identical servers where they can appreciate the game more among new players of more equal skill level and circumstance.
To be clear, this separation would not be permanent. Once the new player accumulates "X" amount of hours (Let's say 300-500) they will be put into the higher skill servers automatically.
Thank you for your time in reading, to be clear I feel that I just needed to make this suggestion as it appeared to be the obvious solution to me, in comparison to the other more convoluted ideas being suggested.
