My friend and I party up in a clan;skill autobalance team free for all. he is TSR 17 and there are multiple TSR TSR 17 players in the lobby. The lobby insists on putting a different TSR 17 player with me, and not my friend.
This doesn't happen once, but all the team.
The party system feels broken and ineffectual. It is really difficult to play this game with your friends.
