TLDR - We need some form of segregation. The biggest problem I am seeing with Dust overall is disparity of skill/maturity within the members of a team.

How many times have you and your squad fought your a$$ off to overtake or defend an objective only to finally realize that the only few blue dots on the map are hiding at your deployment area or the MCC and you are totally screwed? Or you may be an excellent tank pilot and have invested serious time and money into your vehicle. You call it into battle only to have some punk kid who sounds like he just slammed a two liter of mountain dew and a red bull and is making fart sounds in his mic jump in as a gunner and start shooting at teammates and rocks. Suddenly you're wondering why you even bothered. Even worse, you are happy when the enemy team drops an orbital on that friendly tank that has spent the match hiding behind your red line.

We NEED more segregation between goofs and actual players, and within the actual player group between newbs and veterans. I believe the academy is horribly under-utilized in its current state. It is barely an introduction. I believe the academy should last considerably longer. It should live up to its name and only those that can meet certain achievements actually graduate.

Beyond the academy there should be varied zones like hi sec/low sec...or queues that match squads with other squads and randoms with other randoms...something. We need to come up with something soon or all that will be left are the ones that own everything and the riff raff that is trolling the red zones.

"Encumbered by idiots, we pressed on..."

Making Academy until a total of 100,000 WP is earned is a much better solution.

Meh. It stil wont solve the problem of people who
"just slammed a two liter of mountain dew and a red bull and is making fart sounds in his mic"


'cause that's a large chunk of the player base, I think :-}

I'm guessing the majority of players who are aged 10-17. Of which there are not just a few.

The answer is tiered battles

i think going by lifetime sp is the best way to go

>mill sp = battle academy

5-10 mill sp = tier one

10- 15 mill = tier 2
and so on and so forth

Only way to fix the problem with player maturity is a subscription fee. But CCP would have to make the game worth paying for.

But the word segregation is really the wrong word.
