Right on the money, unfortunately. But you forgot the part about 90% of MP matches either crashing out or turning into laggy crap for players who aren't on devices with 12GHz octo-core processors and 10 TB of RAM on a 1 TB/sec. connection due to NK's background ad downloaders being stuck on stupid and NK themselves being too lazy to actually test anything before they disappear for the holidays (Merry Christmas, enjoy the jacked-up data charges, suckers). XD

But honestly, the high-Level players are ruining NM just as much by constantly disconnecting if they don't get a Level 400 Match. Even now after they "tweaked" the loot in NM with the Dec. 08th update, there really is NO system of guaranteeing high-Grade Boxes or the appearance of Savage Elites. I've gotten BLACK Boxes from Savage Mechs, I've gotten Keys from Savage Necrosii Elite Nantos, I've gotten Cores from Savage Dev Elite Nantos...there simply isn't any system involved, because a sporadic reward system is the best way to get players into the Store. NK is just leaving the matchmaking broken and essentially trying to play all of us.

Android players should just save their NM tickets by backing up their accounts before each NM match and then re-loading from their Cloud Profile if they don't get anything good from an NM match. As far as iOS players, I don't know what to tell y'all, aside from maybe do some research and try to find a similar method of cache clearing and Cloud re-loading that works on your system.

But again, Helios is mostly right about NM and the game overall being crappy to dedicated players. I just don't agree with blaming the n00bz, because they've got it worse than us given that SAS 4 wasn't always so pay to win. The worst part is that they're probably giving NK money because they don't know any better.
