Don't display level publicly

[Freelancer852]

If this new phase has shown me anything it's this. New players don't want to start the game fighting high level players, and it seems like the majority of them will just quit the match if matched with high level enemies. I completely understand why they don't want to do this but the majority of matches I've played tonight have been HORRIBLY lopsided to the point of 8v1.

I realize that this is mostly due to the matchmaker not having enough players to match games accurately, but until the game goes open beta the developers can't expect there to be. If you look around the forums or play a few games you'll see a ton of complaints about the matchmaker not working properly because they don't understand this.

My suggestion is simple; Don't show character levels to anyone except the player. Is there any real reason to show level to other players? No.

That's not a bad idea really.

Or at the very least you can't see their level unless you click on them in the scoreboard for those that "GOTZ TO KNOW"

I was thinking the same thing last night that showing the levels affects both the high and low level players. Low levels tend to drop right away when the match starts and high levels simply walk around bored or take the XP/RP loss and leave themselves.

I actually was in a round where the other team dropped off to 2 and then when the second round started it was my team of 6 vs 0. We sat around in a defend position with no one to defend against....
