Hating on EoN or accusing them of foul play is pointless. If you're gonna point your anger at someone, point it at a corp. The alliance is loose and doesn't exist for strategic reasons (granted there's little strategy in Dust ATM), and as far as I can tell, it only exists so the individual corps don't have to compete for bragging rights. Kinda makes being on the top a lot more watered down if you ask me.
Or point your anger at the corps filled with boasters with bad jokes who sh!t up the forums with eyerolls and drama. They're the ones making Dust less fun. Not the one's with FPS talent.
Underhanded comment notwithstanding, I completely agree with OP that less experienced corps should stop complaining about the winning corps and challenge them. Especially if you're a "bad" corp. We played a match against Team Players today, and of course they kicked our ass, but it was way fun nonetheless running around with sh!tfits and scrambler pistols seeing who can kill ChicagoCubs the most. It's a lot more satisfying dropping a top player in proto gear, even if you get killed three times in the process.

I disagree. I'm terrible at dust, but I was a top player back when I played killzone. It was satisfying for me trying to move my losing clan up the leaderboard. Never succeeded, but challenges are fun. You can play the game in hard mode, or you can switch to "I'm Too Young To Die" difficulty and join the top corporation. It's just like weapons: it's not a rule of dust that the freedom mass driver is more fun than a laser rifle.

Again, no. But for corps like Dreddit and Goonswarm, etc, it's a different game. Corps and alliances can be bonded by a culture that exists outside of the game. Because of that, we're less likely to lose players to other corps. Subdreddit has lost a few of our top guys, but most of the ones that left didn't really fit in in the first place, didn't get the inside jokes, were all serious and no fun party poopers, etc etc. Couple this with the corps like Subdreddit or Dust Univeristy that actually care about newbros enough to train them and encourage them, and it breeds different players altogether. Not everyone plays the game for the same reason. If your corp members are having fun, you're winning. And I'm always hearing about internal drama and fights many of the top-player corps have. That doesn't sound fun to me. |
