I can comfirm it has been 'fixed'. Tried to sync with guildies five times, the most we got on our team was 3 of our guys. Seems as though they combined all districts into one super-district or something.
Dammmmmmmmmmmmmn!

You can increase the transaction cost...but you cannot prevent people from syncing. If you think that the problem is "solved", you're naive.
Reduced, maybe. Depends on whether or not this code is as easily gamed as prior unannounced efforts to "fix" the problem. My guess is that it won't be, although I haven't fiddled with it to be sure.
Regardless, there will be ways. Even if the fix works as advertised, this WILL have unintended consequences that most of you won't like. Large organized groups of people WILL land multiple players in the same team via "random" selection, and the only way to beat that will be to fight fire with fire.

RA sync wasn't a bug,it was an exploit.
RA and other formats(Jade Quary,Fort Aspenwood,Hero Battles) always attempted to form matches with players from same languages first,and then to the international matches.So it was working "as intended".
I'm relieved it was fixed,really disappointing when u get a decent group and lose close to get 1-3glad pts.

All I'm getting at is that the matching mechanic is broken, there's no true "fix", and as a result it WILL be gamed.
RA syncing is still very possible. It appears that all they did was make it so that people from different districts join the queue at the same time.
I've been able to get 3 people from a group in consistently (which happened a lot before the sync fix anyway), and I've gotten all 4 about 3/7 times.
Sorry folks. Not much of a "fix".

People would just sync american RA if it was so easy. It's not, there's usually too many people there. You can do it, but it's really hard to get a full team of 4 like that, as not only must your timing must be impeccable, but you also need the 1 in 4 chance of landing the start of a new team queue. On the other hand if you can RA 100+ consecutives, there may be people that will try until they get it to work.
JQ/FA are generally dead enough (luxon side) that districts never mattered. Unlike RA they were already combined and so never had this "issue", it's only syncable due to the low number of players.

Either the bad players will suddenly get CONSTANTLY owned by the good RAers who usually stuck to ID, or the good ones will quit and RA will become even more of a cesspool of suck.
