For me personally, it's the community. Subdreddit is an awesome community, and derping about with the guys (and gals) in our corp is fun enough to keep me coming back for a few matches a week. Furthermore, if you step away from competitive play and just play to have fun, there's all sorts of goofy stuff you can to do enjoy the game much more than is possible in PC (where everyone is min-maxing). Hanging in a casual squad with friends while drinking some beers and chattering about your day while simultaneously running spider tanks, or running 6 heavies with lasers, or all scouts with nova knives, or flying 6 dropships at once, etc etc is all pretty fun. Playing 16 tryhards vs 16 tryhards trying hard to prove you're the best at a game that is fundamentally terrible for "serious" play, is not.

Their are some cool kids in subdreddit. That i'll give ya. A lot of em. It's just sad that comments like yours will never allow NPRZ to gain the traction he needs to get Narwhal Guard or w/e never group wants to play to win and improve as a group through PC off the ground.

I don't see how my comments keep other people from doing what they want. I think the reality is that most people who try out Dust 514 agree with me, thus the reason such a teeny tiny little sliver of players actually play Dust 514 even though it's a free game, and why only a tiny sliver of people who actually play the game actually play PC

You're insulated from popular opinion in your PC focused corp that is only interested in "serious" players,and thus it's understandable why you have such an unrealistic and biased view of the game.

I think you avoid the posts intention, which is that there are members of subdreddit that wish they could have a competitive group, I was one of them, and I know more continue on because they keep in touch (<3). NPRZ is just one shining example. Your comments discourage them from piping up in a hivemind community, I know a certain few keep low profiles about their desire for more, and you attitude contributes to that decision. That's all. I don't think you stone people for wanting to be competitive, and I don't think it's wrong for you to have that opinion, it's yours. I have had friends from BF3 and other console shooters and they wouldn't commit because they found it was 2 difficult to kill anyone and they died 2 quick, explaining that the playing field is uneven and that they needed to "level up" enticed them to buy some passive boosters and go into hibernation, I hope this is true for many, don't know. I'll concede now that i've been in TP's for 3 months, I may be out of touch. "Serious" players may be inaccurate, i think "skilled and teamwork oriented" is more appropriate.
