your calling out people for being trolls and to many people crying on the forums, but you just made an alt character just to bring us this thread.

Dropships suck! Then here comes along veteran ace pilot and he completely PWNS everyone in a manner unimaginable. Now the get good phrase (to which I have been attributing trolling with) does highlight a few problems.

So you mean by running one kind of ADS fit one particular way with absolute focus and dedication and a fair share of lady luck on your side, it entirely invalidates the dropships issues because people obviously just don't understand them?

you have to admit TL;DR and 'Get Good' are troll comments

-'Your decisions matter'

A favourite of every DUST Vet .. most notably the Eve players inexperienced in FPS games .. usually the decisions that matter are .. should i run for cover there are a few enemies over there/That guy has a shotgun and he's running towards me do I run away or do I just shoot at him and hope I kill him before he gets close enough to kill me/Someone has thrown a grenade at me but I cant see where it landed .. should I move or stand still ? As well as many other gameplay orientated decisions

Most commonly used to counter ...

Any request of a respec

Reason it's silly ....

1.You pick a race at the beginning of the game yet straight away you can pick to spec into any races equipment even though you start off with miltia variants of your initial races equipment .. So the very 1st decision you make doesn;t matter :P
2.Skill points are unlimited you can spec into everything so aside from time your decisions mean nothing especially as you can gain SP over time and 10m sp a year without even playing is pretty handy, where are the restrictions based on what you've skilled too ? Where is the SP multiplier when you skill into your 2nd/3rd/4th light weapon/suit ?
# I'm neither for or against respecs I just think this counter argument is weak

It's a half baked argument that would only actually mean something if as a whole it was true and right now it's far to wishy washy to actually be valid it's like deciding whether to use the upstairs or downstairs toilet .. yes it's a decision that you have to make but .. it really doesn't make a difference and apart from a 10 second stair climb its the same resullt

Get gud

Yes and No

I'm afraid it's your counter arguement that's half baked, especially in concerns to respecs and decisions.

If anyone could redistribute their skill points at any time, then why have the skill points at all? (If your answer is "exactly," then you need to go find a new game. Suggesting getting rid of the skill system is akin to suggesting getting rid of guns. They're both integral parts of this game's concept.) Only then would it truly be like picking what toilet to use.

If someone reads on the forums that something is overpowered and is likely to be changed and then skills into it because they want the easy kills, should they be able to change it whenever? No. Yes, steamrolling might be how they have fun, but there are plenty of games that cater to that.

The skill system is in place to reward those who choose to specialize, and specialization takes time and dedication. Yes, someone can eventually specialize into many different weapons, but only after time and dedication. They could also do it with just time (not playing and just collecting sp) but it takes 3x as long. If people were able to just redistribute their sp at the press of a button, then there'd be no point in devoting time to anything. Again, if you're not the type to want to devote time, then this isn't the game for you. There are plenty of other FPSs, DUST isn't the only one and thus doesn't need to cater to everyone.

All i've done is point out 3 funny arguments and explained their flaws, I haven;t mentioned anyone in particular and you have to admit TL;DR and 'Get Good' are troll comments

This is horrible. Allow me to address your counter arguments with my own...

"Your decisions matter" is not a counter argument. It's a fact. Decisions have consequences otherwise they wouldn't be decisions. The economics of this game require you to make choices and if you are wise you pick those which cater to your play style. If you disagree with this I implore you to skill all of your points into a fit that you will never use and then use something else. If you do not see where you are suffering from the poor choices you've made in the skill system then I suggest just ignoring everything else I'm about to say.

1. The first decision has a consequence. It defines your race and the dropsuits you are given to start with. If I'm going to skill into shields then I won't pick gallente. This might not matter to you but it does affect the game. Worst of all, even if this had no consequence on the rest of the game it wouldn't be an argument for "ALL decisions don't matter".
2. Skillpoints being unlimited would be an argument against respecs. If you're logic is that it's possible then it's also practical then I will turn that on you and say that no respecs ever should've been done because everyone in the game has the opportunity to have every skill. May as well sell the game on that idea: "Dust 514: Specialization who? Just play everything at any level".

Your main critique seems to be hinged on the analogy that any decision doesn't matter and back it up with a real life analogy. Are you kidding me? If you open that door then let's take a look at other real life decisions to make an analogy for. What should you study in college? Doesn't matter because you can always go back to college and study other things. Right? I really don't see why people don't understand that decisions have consequences and the consequences of the skill system in Dust seem to be more than these people can handle.

TL;DR is not a counter argument to anything and if you're taking it as one then I don't know what to tell you. Someone who writes a novel in a forum is prone to being passed over. I more frequently seeing TL;DR as a disclaimer made by the OP to summarize the post in a few sentences as to not be passed over by people who don't feel like reading a book. When used by another person who disagrees with you it doesn't mean anything other than "Your post was really long and I didn't feel like reading it". There is no argument in this and they are still free to voice their opinion regardless of whether or not they address anything you say in your post.

Get good is also not a counter argument. It's just something people say to brag. It's basically another way of saying "look how big my dust 514 **** is". It's a taunt and shouldn't be taken seriously as anything other than that. People complain about this game way too much anyway. If the "troll" intended it to be used as a counter to the QQ then I'd see what they were coming from in a lot of cases. Take everyone complaining about the scout suits being unusable. Clearly many people are still able to use them effectively (myself included). My counter argument to the complaining is usually that it's a specific role that is more strategic than most people are willing to take on and so they expect to run-and-gun with small survivability. This is another way to phrase "get good" in the sense that it just means they can't use it well and that it's not underpowered.

I'm sorry but I just have high standards for someone who makes an entire thread about how poorly constructed some arguments are and then fails to counter them logically.

TL;DR
The OP presents poor arguments against these common "counter arguments". If you're interested in my reasonings, read my post above.
