i could name a few differant ways the rating sysem is flawed ...
but i will simply say
the higher your rating the less u actually get to play ...
i dont want a high rating ..thanks ..but no thanks ...ill be happy just taking it easy and not worrieng about it at all...i already proved my point to hamilcar and jaysherman ..and shut them down completly .took the top rating score of the game .now they will all scramble for it all pecking at eachother like chickens in a cockfight ...man ...that rating system takes alot of fun out of pvp ..but oh well thats the way these so called pvp experts wanted it ..
ill sit in my lazyboy ..play DR and have fun beating [censored] ...while they sit there wondering why they cant get a match ......duh ,....rating system in my opinion = dumb idea .. VERY poorly exeuted
lol..
when u get to 10k wins AND get a 2047 pvp raing ..let me know ...id love to hear about the first person that can match that ps ...bitburger is a tough [censored] mage ...but i have him on ignore for his personality

The rating system actually does make sense. However, there are two important elements that are causing the delay in matchups, as far as I see:
a. There are too few players in the pvp world for this matching system, thereby dividing the scale greatly between 'good' and 'poor' players, and
b. Until a more significant number of players are brought into the game, the range that the system expands to find a match needs to be greater/faster.

Remember that this system is online to prepare for the influx of new players that are purchasing the retail box.

one of the majoer flaws ive seen is the grouping vs rating //i think u should test it a bit more and youll start seeing what ive seen,,,,granted i have more hours on pvp time so i can see what u dont see a bit more clearly....give it a week ....all these ppl are gunna be pissed off

I was thinking an additional balancing could be used when matching higher rated players with lower rated players. That way the rate at which the rating gap is widened while waiting for a match could be increased, and people could have a chance to play more than the same couple of opponents.

..but that probably opens the door for many more complications and people crying "unbalanced!"

You mean, nerf more higher powered players and buff lower powered players when they match up? I don't think that is a good idea.

As Rainger said, the rating system is not "flawed" technically, just that it was designed to support a larger population of players than this.
