===== Your argument about pacifist groups still complaining makes sense when you look at how matchmaking actually works in modern multiplayer games: =====
* Most matchmaking systems (including ones that consider behavior) don’t fully override other major factors like: - Network/latency and region - Skill or progression metrics - Group size / game mode preferences - Pure randomness to fill queues quickly
* Even if behavior wholeheartedly influenced lobbies, those criteria are only part of the formula — they can’t 100% override all other matchmaking requirements. (This is supported by research on how matchmaking algorithms balance multiple signals like skill and behavior simultaneously.)

So a player who rarely engages in PvP could still end up in a match with aggressive players simply because matchmaking has to fill lobbies quickly and can’t cherry-pick every time.
