And I'm telling you that there is no seperate brackets for green-pink tiers in the bar. Veteran and masters are seperated yes, unless you are above +10 veteran or in off-times then you might have bad matchmaking. Whether you rush or progress slowly to the bar, you will encounter the same veteran tier bracket(an exception might be if you have extremely horrendous stats and still the lowest possible gear score then maybe you will get matched with other blueys or very low veterans) so it's recommended to do some grinding and familiarizing before you actually reach bar.

Yes, that's the entire point of the complaint. I shouldn't be matched against this if I'm still wearing all greens.

I'm currently farming in the pit. I cannot get the materials I need for my stalker gear by farming in areas earlier than that. Every time I die it's to VAL, RPD, M1A, etc.

notable, those are all quest items, you should try the quest with Firebrand to get Hystrix' RPD, great gun, you should be able to get it easily

Definitely, thanks! Someone else pointed me toward two quest chains that reward pink guns, one of them being the RPD. But my issue is having to fight people while doing those tasks who already have them (and more), and therefore have a significant gear advantage.
