1. fix the game (this would include fulfilling any of the things that were stated in 2012 fan fest that would be implemented by 2014)
2. remarket it so the player count is about 100X what it is currently
3. then worry about segregating the community
Your'e all chasing your tail on this issue. Look at it this way about 20% of the proposed content has been delivered in this game. It is only natural for people to want to play with the fraction that is currently offered, anything to inhibit people from using it or to segregate people will not work, the playerbase is just not large enough currently. All this will currently do is kill the game for anyone not playing in primetime NA times as they spend 15 minutes waiting for their perfectly matched ambush game.
These are valid issues that could be addressed if the game were anywhere near completion and had a large playerbase. As it stands there is less and less of anyone playing this game vet or noobs, holding back the vets to hold hands for the noobs will only drive them away as well. Why would a player who has played this for 18 months invested a boat load of $ over that time not want to use the best gear they have? It's one of the few things that actually have been delivered on.
Look at it this way DUST 514 is like a one room school house, the fifth graders can't complain if they want to play football with 10th graders because there simply are not enough of them to form two separate games. |

Simple, it just prevents Squads from going into that game mode, and that should solve the major Pubstomps. BINGO. Make Pub matches squad-free; FW is a mix of solo/squad and PC is squad-only. Change pub matches and everyone has a mode that suits their preferred style.
Really, come on that is the solution? How many people do you think play console fps game to play with there friends? Hmm pretty much everyone. So you want this to be the one game that makes that even harder and think that will fix this game? Come on you people need to pull your head out of your ass and realize this isn't BF4 and it does not have the luxury to slice and dice the players to suit you, there are simply not enough of them. Sure you can look at the daily player counts on eve -offline and say its been the same since last june, but how many are logging on just to get the daily bonus? The amount that are actually getting in a game and shooting a gun is diminishing every day. Keep going this route and watch the asia and EU players drop out like flies when they can't que for a game because scotty doesn't ever have enough variable to make the calculation work correctly. |

I've got some Proto stuff, but I never run it because A. I don't have my Proto suit yet, so fitting is a *****, and B. I wanna make sure I can protect my investments, Proto is expensive, so I want my passives up as much as possible. Not enough people to fix pubstomping No new players due to pubstomping Paradoxical, don't you think?
Totally agree 100% but the fault and answer lies at CCP's feet not at the playerbase. They have not delivered enough content to keep people involved in the game as they progress yet the little they have provided is a detriment to the new players. Damned if you do damned if you don't. But if the game were half as good as anything Andy Reid has said at any game conference since 2011 there would be enough of both types of players that it wouldn't be an issue to implement your ideas. |

Lol drawing board, have you even heard half the crap CCP has been saying
Mechs
Fighter Jets
Total weapon customization
Variety of specialization in game (not AR514)
Impact on eve and nulsec
player market
1000's of unique maps
This is just scratching the surface we could make a list three times as long of content that is supposed to be here compared to what is here
Come on CCP are the ones who set the bar this high we were just dumb enough to believe them
