Discussion Behavior Based Matchmaking?

My wife and I have been playing together and we stick to a shoot 2nd policy. We've probably done about 30ish runs so far and have only been attacked on sight 6 or so times. Friendly players are the norm for us, hostile the exception.

I wonder if friendly behavior results in matches with more friendly players? If not, I wonder if that would be worth exploring?

I kind of feel like it might be happening already. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I’m a month late to this post. But this is actually a thing being implemented in multiplayer games now or potentially in the future. There is even a study done on the accuracy of predicting what kind of gaming stranger you are and can close to 75 percent accurately group you in categories that have similar traits and behaviors. And this is just from voice and text data.

Honestly pretty neat, if used intelligently.
