This is the last bit of feedback I will give and is has to do with the fact that the changed MMR back to normal for the last 8 hours. Look it was not the right MMR we know this, you know this, but it was a test, and by running it as a test for the whole event everyone is on the same playing field. Some people spent a good amount of HP on shields becuase they wanted to climb high. Now people can come in at the last min score much higher and gain the progression rewards and placement they would not have gotten before and the people who have been shielding and grinding will be punnished for it. again If you changed it back because of season 8 and you felt it was effecting season 8 we still have 2 days of the first event to have the right MMR. If you are changing it back so we can gain progression rewards and placement here is my alternate option. Run the event again to gove out Mystique covers. You can run it at the end of the season so you don't have to run Mystiques PVP where she is the 1100 progression again, but you can basicly give the community a do over. This is a much better solution than just moving the MMR back to what it was at the end of the PVP. D3 I appriciate the fact that you have tried to fix the MMR, you solicited our feedback, and when it did not work the way you wanted you went back to did not punish the players by sticking with the new system. It shows you are really listening so thank you. Next season break I hope we can test a new MMR and give more feedback. Please make sure you run it for the whole PVP so it is an even playing field. Thank you

Its a bit annoying that you changed it back to the old system of "wait til the last few hours and hop your way past everyone to the top," after players had to deal with the 20-30 point range for nearly 2 days.. but whatever. I found the new system more challenging but who wants that.

The way it was going I would make slow but steady progress on enemies that seemed to loiter around my level and would offer enough of a challenge. It felt a bit grindy, but I'd look at the top scorer and it never really climbed higher than the 650 mark for ages. Then today I've had loads of level 300s (Sentry, Hood and Magneto/Daken, obvs) and maybe the occasional Ares/Storm/NMags group that gives me 15-20 points, so now the top guy has over 1300 points and I ground to a halt just short of 700, definitely not enough to maintain a top 25 position in a highly contested PvP with covers people really want to obtain. You really couldn't have just waited for this PvP to finish and *then* revert back to the old system?
