I understand why proto equipment are used by many this week due to the winter carnage event. But why use officer gear which is not listed as providing any prices in the current event.
Yesterday I had ambush matches with 9 rainbow effect members plus some ahrendee mercenaries, only few fielding anything but proto. And a few minutes later a match with 9 maphia clan corp members fielding proto. Why could the matchmaker not have matched these two team instead of putting them up against randoms, that would have been a much more challenging match for both corps.
There is allot of proto stomping going on at the moment, and it is frustrating as a new player not having any options to counter them. I at least can field my own proto suits, lost 1mill isk in the skirmish match vs maphia clan, thank you for the team member placing droplinks that avoided redlining. No isk loss in the ambush match with rainbow effect, 9 protos zerging around the map, luckily it was a big map and I could avoid the proto scanners, damned proto scanners 
Some corps are proto stomping ambush matches, some are protostomping skirmish matches and some domination matches, there really is no place a new player can go to avoid the at times very uneven matches. |

Dust is not a bad game, but I have talked to some new players I have hot started playing the game, they all quit , and the reason as I quote "as soon as I got out of the academy I just started getting stomped without end, with the starter-assault clip often a full clip of the AR is not enough to kill some players, I have to use the full clip AND finish them with my SMG"
New players are so ridiculously outclassed by people with skills (gun game/IG skills) that proto stompers are really untouchable to most noobs. It's terrible, they rage quit, etc.
It's you guys that are preventing this game from growing.
A place is needed where players can avoid proto squads, I am not a skilled player but can easily take down new players when in my proto suit. The passive skill points and equipment makes a big difference besides knowledge of the maps, weapons etc.
Nothing will keep the proto stompers away as long as it is possible for them to dominate the other team without risc. We just have to accept the fact that some players find enjoyment in easy mode. Like in EVE lots of pirates find enjoyment in shooting down defenseless ships, even if there is no isk worth of salvage, just because it is fun to grief others. This is also the part that allures me to Dust, try to fight against the jerks, no easy fights as I keep away from proto corps. |

Absolutely appalling, I don't think I've seen a bigger collection of scrubs in my entire life and the community should gather to disclose their disdain for their behaviour
I was on their team and just simply stopped playing .. it is disgusting doing this in public games .. be thankful I will sadly never meet any of you to show you how disgusted by you I really am

You do understand where the internet slang term "scrub" comes from... and it doesn't fit them in this case. http://www.internetslang.com/SCRUB-meaning-definition.asp
It could fit them very well, a looser who think he is something, a looser whose life is soo meaningless he/she has to slay the enemy easy mode while laughing hysterically and posting about it on the forums to get attention the looser has none of in his lonely real life
Mind you, the proto squads are whats making me come back to the game, I do not hope their wings are cut, or it would become boring and without drame. I just hope they will make NPE or a training match type for new players. Maybe a matchtype with no isk payout and only free starter suits allowed, a training arena. Could be fun for both new players and vets. |
