It is indeed a bit salty I agree. I don't think it fair to have to play with or against those who have advantages I or others on my team may not have. I have not noticed the wait time shrinking at all with the forced cross play either so to me it means nothing. There is still an option to turn it off while you go into settings while in a match but it's dark and can't be turned on or off. I've never enjoyed the attitudes of PC gamers. Maybe that's just me and that's just fine. Still believe I should be able to choose to some extent who I prefer to play with.
Can't party up with em, can't send messages. What's the point? I'm just fine with my fellow Xboxers. Forced inclusion is just as bad as forced separation. Choice, options, freedom.... Blah blah. I just want an option back. If I'm willing to wait the extra time I should be able to. Whatever though. I'll just keep blockin. Though it doesn't help to do that when I'm on a team... No way to win here I think. Gotta love bows that tie themselves.
