Ubisoft have set it up so that you get punished for playing more than one class. Which sucks for me because I think part of the fun is mastering the different classes.
How it should be done is to divide players into divisions based on their overall skill level + current gear level.
Right now it's keeping me from playing the game until it's patched. I love the core gameplay but the horrible matchmaking takes away the fun. I'll wait three more weeks and if not fixed by then I'll sell or trade it, although I really don't want to.
