Is this normal?! ALWAYS in the middle of the lineup in Ranked and Brawl.

[OT2_2]

Doesn't matter what I do I will be placed in the middle of the lineup when using BB or CA/CL. In 98% of all cases, and as you might know is this the most exposed and unpleasant position in these modes. Others may choose and go directly right or left while I'm left with the bad rest. This is ongoing since the last update and stretches over dozens of battles. The whole thing feels artificial and deliberately constructed as so many other things ingame.

Do you play the same ship each time? I noticed when I played my GK in assym it would often start in the same places on some of the maps.

I think WG has singled you out in order to piss you off particularly and deliberately. You are the one customer targeted. 

While the rest of us enjoy a more random pvp experience, you on the other hand will not, since you have been singled out.

And what of your prayers to rngeezus. Perhaps you have been slacking in your offerings to the gods.

He isn't the only one.

Today's proliferation of data tools allows companies to personalize the experience of each customer.

It is folly to assume WG does not take advantage of this decades old technology and strategy.

Normally, such methods are used to keep the customers spending money (hopefully due to a pleasant experience?), right?

If you think about ranked and brawls, everyone is pretty much in the middle grouping so if you pick a side its really not a big deal.

Compared to randoms where some people travel to a flank [not that big a deal], or to the opposite flank [which is curious and irritating].

WG uses a lot of stick to get people to spend rather than carrots...

This is true of a lot of the casino and gaming industry.

that is the best place, enemy team woll always go left and right while you are the mid you can crossfire any side you want with full broadsides.

But the problem with you is that you dont have the patience to stay at mid, you have to charge somewhere and die.

Mid place opens a lot of possibilitys and plays, spawning left or right just makes you playing only that side.

Here watch the guides of this dude on several maps.

Thank you for your deep going answer, but it's not the problem with me going somewhere, then charging and die. I'm not a bad  player. I simply don't like to be locked in and that happens almost all the time. It's strange and contradicts what WG is pretending that everything happens randomly in P v P. Being placed in over 90% of all cases at the same spot has got nothing to do with randomness. 

Here on this site are lots of WG - auxilaries and helpful creatures, who defend everything WG comes around with and try to ridicule those who have serious issues with the company and its way to do things. I have understood the part we are ought to play here. Everything is just fine with WG and how its governing both game and players.
