Rowdy Railgunner Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 208	Posted - 2013.11.27 22:50:00 - [1] - Quote Squad based ranked matches: Have a separate contract system that will pit 6 man squads against each other in ranked matches based on an ELO system much like HALO does with their ranked match system. Have drops work much like they do in PC matches where gear you kill you get to keep and there is no ISK payout. All the finer details can be worked out by the CCP devs, but I think you get the idea.

Based on your reference to League of Legends and Halo, I can probably speculate that your favorite snack (statistically speaking) is DoritosGäó and Mountain DewGäó. Naa, I eat whole organic foods (love pistachios and cashews as a snack), smoke American Spirits and drink top self single malt scotch, with a little bit of Jager on the side. I find it to be safer than drinking pop and eating monsanto corn chips.

DUST 514 has the most pathetic and disgusting playerbase I have ever encountered on a PvP game. They way DUST is setup only appeals to scrubs. If CCP did something to try and stop protostompers, I don't think anyone would complain. The protostompers aren't really having anything taken away from them and would probably be to embarrassed to complain about not getting to destroy noobs anymore. Watching Ambush matches is actually enough to make you sick. Just stand up on a ridge and watch and pay attention to the scoreboard. CCP can't keep new players on this game, and the largest reason is because of Protostomping. Why do they refuse to address it and try to end it? Sometimes I think CCP is trying to make this game fail, because stupidity can only sink so low sometimes. Don't you see the beauty in my issue and solution though? The way to address it is to give a game mode that protostompers will be attracted to. If you truly have a squad of badasses with money to burn, then being at the top of a ranked leaderboard against the rest of DUST with money to burn is the best way to draw them out from random pub match stomp. Why do randoms when you can improve your ranked match stomp/rank? Eventually all there will be is ranked match squads trying to be number 1. 2, ISK sink is there with no ISK payout, normal ambush loses + it's attraction for proto squads because drops from ranked matches exceed the 300k you can get from being top member of the winning team. 3. You get your name on a leaderboard that actually means **, and it would be great fun. Any game with an ELO ranking system has succeeded even when only 1000 people played it. Because people always come back to best that guy that killed them in the last round and lowered their ELO. When scores are out front and visible it becomes a different beast. I feel it draws the community that CCP is looking for. If they want competition, then post that ** MUTHAFUKAS and give us all an arena to display our talents in. RANKED MATCHES FOR ALL! DO IT CCP!

For matchmaking to truly work you need a huge base to draw from. DUST, unfortunately, doesn't have that. So how do you fix it? Well, by doing what I have just exemplified. By cutting people into ranking systems that promote good gameplay. Squad based ranked matches I feel will rejuvenate the game as between 4000 players there are lots of 6 man squads to make. You could even promote it as CCP 4 times a year with more of the squad cup matches that we just recently saw. But with a solid ranking system in place before the matches, well then it becomes a free for all to where people we might not of even heard of come onto the scene and destroy. Think thorax blasters....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGAjymmeYkg HEY, it could happen. Gotta keep positive.
