Anyone outside your corp/clan is a ringer. It's just in Dust.....ringing is more openly done and acceptable. You are simply incorrect.
So your a opinion is right? And hes wrong for having a different one?
There comes a point when a corporation relies on their alliance too much where they call it "as one" to avoid the bad name of a ,ringer,
But ringers aren't a bad thing in general. More like shameful in some eyes. But you can't go around saying "This is New Eden" and say "Ringers are ****".
I do beleive that anybody not in the corporation that fights in PC with you, is a ringers. Alliance or otherwise. Why do you use ringers? To fill in spots your corporation lacks. Why use Alliance help? To fill stop YOUR CORPORATION lacks. People try and use the term 'alliance' to justify the 'bad rep' that the term ringer gives. But isn't this game about hiring mercs?
Alliances should be groups of corps that will agree to help each other out when an allaince member is in need. Not be used as a shield to throw out any terms of ringers. |

I'm assuming that was towards me so here's my response.
I never said not allowed. I said that I personally think that any non-corporation member is a ringer. And that ringers aren't a bad thing so there really isn't a shame in having them...

Isn't a ringer generally a negative term? And wouldn't that making ringing negative? And if ringing for your alliance isn't negative then is it really ringing at all? I pretty much agree with what you're saying skipper, I just think it deserves a different term other than ringer.
Yes. Ringer/Ringing is viewed negatively here, but it really isn't.
Dictionary says dishonest. What's dishonest about ringing?
Whatever you want to call it, the point of people joining in your battle that aren't in that corporation isn't (or shouldn't) be a bad thing. Whether it's an alliance or not, it really shouldn't make a difference in terms of honesty. |

Why is it that Top Men are the only ones that don't get it. I don't understand how you can come from a background that isn't fps and tell fps players that their definition of ringer is "incorrect".
I don't care who you consider family. If they are not a part of your corp then they are ringers...period. When you are short for a battle, you go into your alliance channel and say, "I need a few ringers for a pc match in an hour".
If ringing wasn't allowed in dust, then alliance corp members can still help each other by launching coordinated attacks if they are at war. They will also not launch against each other. They can share battle plans, advice on strategy, dropsuit and vehicle fits, etc. They can also give money to each other if one needs the help or if they need help to fund a war. There are still other ways that alliance corp members can help out if ringing wasn't allowed (just to answer someone else's question).
You guys think that ringers are those you hire or use outside of your alliance. But that would only be true if there was an alliance battle going on. And I don't mean an alliance war....I mean, one battle that's set up for the best of an alliance to fight each other. But since these are corp v corp matches and someone not in your corp plays in it, then they are ringing.
****, if you are in corp A and your brother that lives with you is in corp B, and he plays under one of your alts for a corp A match, then he is a ringer.

If you attack New Eden's Most Wanted, or any other corp in our alliance, you are attacking Top Men. Your failure to know or understand that is bad intel or research on your part. Anyone who does their due diligence before attacking should be fully aware they will be fighting our alliance as a whole.
Then make a corporation called Top Men. so you can stop feeling bad about the term ringer. |

Or some people that think they have all ultimate knowledge (such as yourself) and some people that have a different opinion. |

Because if someone attacks a district, you guys are just pooling whoever you have online. I think our players would disagree with you. Each of our corps has a unique culture and style. They just work together where it matters.
Looks like you guys work as a corporation. When you work together it's only in PC, that's the only time we are discussing...

Tell you all knowledgeable "alliance member" that.
Seems like he can't comprehend that he's not always right. Or maybe he can't comprehend that his way isn't the right way. |
