DUST Search - Please keep squad stacking and proto-stomping to FW

Isn't that why we have FW contracts atm? We all have somewhere we can q sync and proto our hearts out; can we not just leave pub matches to the less overtly OP tactics?

I keep seeing 8+ members of the same corps in ambushes, dominations and skirmishes and they absolutely crush the opposition, who more often than not has no organised squads. Sometimes I'm the enemy to these teams, sometimes I'm a teammate but regardless the matches are totally one-sided and redlines are boring.

But I recognise that some people want to run max proto gear and run 7 or more players together and that's fine, you can do that no problem but please do it in FW. That way players who just want to run solo or small squads and the lower level players can have a slightly safer place to enjoy the game. Surely this is the best solution until we get actually working matchmaking?

I know this is New Eden and all but until New Eden is working in a reasonable manner for all, can we please just try to behave reasonably ourselves?

Sure you can Proto stomp...its gets you nothing when I am sticking a Templar ScR up your ass and taking those beautiful proto suits away from you.

True, FW does affect the 'overwar' but until CCP gives us somewhere else we can play our hearts out, that's really all there is. And if these people who want to play this way don't want to affect the 'overwar' or take any particular faction's side, they can tick all the boxes and play for whoever's paying - afterall we are mercs, right? Most "merc" corps eve side don't run FW because it affects standings with the associated factions meaning travel within that empires space is more difficult. Yes you can tick all boxes and say "mercenary" but you can just as easily do that in pub matches and be a real mercenary. FW is about loyalty and lining your pockets with factionalised items. I seriously hope one day CCP places meaningful modifiers on FW. E.G- Fight for the Amarr too much and you cannot fight for the Minmatar unless you either pay heavy reparations or complete a serious grind out of PvE for the Minmatar. You cannot travel into their space when locality becomes important, a sign up militia system that prevents you fighting for another empire while you are in anothers Militia etc. Real meaningful reasons that discourage faction hopping and reward loyalty to a single faction. FW is not for mercs....in the traditional sense, its for loyalists. "All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all"
