I enjoy being on the victim end of 3-on-1 gangups. I was a bit shocked at first, but I like the challenge and I think it makes me a better player. Bring it on.
So how will this get fixed?

Same here. It's been MONTHS! When are you chess.com gonna fix this??? JEeeesus
It's a basic necesity to play free for all! FFA cannot be played with retarded players. it CANNOT!

It's especially important to fix this because games cannot be resigned. This means that once we are teamed up with lower rated players, we are forced to play. I prefer if the system strictly enforced the rating range setting. I understand that due to the small pool of opponents, it may not find a game, but that's OK if the system gives a message like "Could not find a match. Consider increasing your opponent rating range."
I was just playing a game, I set my player matchmaker to 1500 - 3000, I'm then put in a game with a 1200. another 1200 and a 1390, I then get teamed up by yellow and red who kill me first, helping eachother. How is it fair that my rating goes down more for playing against people I do not want to play against?
