Surely the idea of the game is to grind skills, get proto gear and use it?
is it jealously from newbies who cant use it? vets who cant afford to use it? i dunno.
i have a ton of isk and the skills available. i've spent good money on boosters both passive and active and i've grinded week in week out since january to get into my proto gear and i'm sure others have so why is it the player base seem to have the need of shunning it to appear 'da leetestez'
in any other FPS game you work up the ranks to unlock the better guns and use them, i don't go getting hate mail on BF3 cos i'm using my L85A2. Just seems pretty dumb to me
Allow me to quote myself from another thread where someone said something very similar:

You risk something valuable in hopes that your skill with it yields you a better reward. It's not supposed to be profitable for everyone to run the best gear at all times, you might as well make everything free and remove currency altogether.
This game has always been about the choice: Do I run cheap stuff and risk dying a lot? Or do I run my expensive stuff and risk loosing my hard earned money? That's what makes this game special when compared to the majority of shooters out there, risk and reward above and beyond the almighty K/D stat.
As it stands right now, there is no serious drawback to risking running proto gear since it's so easy to save up for it, and if you are good enough you can do so while using it. This is the problem people have, the game is flooded with it. high level gear in BF3 compared to starter gear doesn't have nearly the gap that it does in Dust. Thus this little thread I wrote on how to fix these issues people have with it.
Do this and I guarantee people will be BEGGING you to pull out your proto gear, and if you're good enough it won't have any serious effect on you apart from when you get occasionally OB'd. But that''s all part of the risk and reward system that made Dust so great to begin with, CCP just needs to work on our economy a bit.
Then you get to run what you want without any hate (when you can afford to), and games become more balanced over time. |
