Veterans see the opposition is really and mean really out-classed but do they offer to help or balance it? No they just stomp for the XP and leave.
Ok a few matches here and there but relentlessly pub stomping.... Well chaps where is your honour when a lvl 40+ pilot has a pyra and the match is so unbalanced then why does the pilot proceed with caution?
Pity the poor low players and a spanner in your engines to all who just pub stomp.

No one stomps for XP...................... People just want to play with their friends, and without the frustration of having to order around crew that wont't listen anyway. And i'm someone who often pleads for fair matches, but other times i just don't care. My favorite way to balance has always just been to not fly pyramidions and strong meta builds. Fun for everyone.

while I agree with this for the most part, from my experience if a team Is truly stompin, it is not uncommon for teams to split and even the game slightly. It was just yesterday I came up against a full SREP team, and being the only player on my team over lvl 15, we got slaughtered, though I was surprised that after that match SREP were kind enough to just say 'GG' and completely swapped the teams to make for a really close second match. I have seen things like this happen fairly regularly but this is just an example.
After all pub stomping is no fun for anyone, stomper or the stomped

My answer to that will be as simple as 'Because that's the only thing we can do.'. Skill gaps even in the competitive scene are so huge that there is no way to play a game without "pub stomping" for certain people anymore. Am I just to mindlessly roam the game for hours until I find, with the ridiculously low population of Goi in certain or if not all hours of the day - a match that is semi evenly matched? The answer is no. I will play the game, whenever I have the time to, and not worry about pub stomping. Because if I will, I won't play the game at all.
And I raise to you another issue: What if those teammates of yours who are overly stacking the lobby, your friends, or clan mates who simply want to play with you like every other group of people I know in this, or any other game. We could split our ships with the two sides, but that takes the together in playing together, and it just ends up to be a contest of who has the better ally. We could just stay together most of the time, and wait for scramble to scramble on the next match. Which is what we end up usually doing, so we can at least have one match together. OH, but hold up one second, MatchMaking introduces an amazing feature that you could just send everyone to the flipping crew formations after one stupid match, and scramble can never scramble - and then the cycle continues.

Guys this was just an observation.
Not to be taken as a slight on all high ranking players. There are some whom shall remain nameless who are relentless at it.
Has gotten to the point now, where am bored of flying with some, as that is all it is. Low level laughs. But when some come up against lvl 20 pilots and low level crew, then they collectively start to sweat. Admittedly some games can be fun. But most times it is just not a sporting chance. Kind of like letting wild animals lose in a nappy filled kindergarten.
Players do go public match stomping for xp. As each win over another team, no matter how good or bad the opponent. The winning players Gains 10x the amount of xp as a loss does.
This above value may have to be re-quoted as myself asked this question in a Dev fireside chat, re-new levelling after the Achievement way only was changed.

Pub stomping is not a thing, as much as it appears to be...
Only yesterday in a three vs three did me and my ally try to balance the match only to be told by the lower levels all against us... "Yeh rite woteva u ***in d***s we r not fallin for dat"
So taking less than lethal loadouts we still managed a 7-0 win only to receive more match chat abuse.
Make levels visible people leave because its unfair, while not visible they assume they're in even matches.
As said as well people just like to play with other people they know.. The skill gap is unfortunate which is unfortunate.
However I have notices these "unfair" matches often lead to "vets" taking ships they're less comfortable with, today an example, Me, Enoch and DrZan as pilots went triple squid on an unbalanced match, my squid triple gatling, Zan had double Flak and Enoch had disable carronades... End result 7-4 win to us.. (Because the galleon piloted by the lols was a very worthy enemy! <3 the lols!)
