....Ugh. My point is, it's bad for the game. And Jenza, as a CPM, you should be setting an example, not destroying the fun. IT'S A GAME!!!! WE HAVE PC AND FW FOR LO-SEC!!!! Pubs are HI-SEC.
so according to you i should compromise more fun than I already am by not using the gear i invested SP in so not to ruin other people's fun... No, according to me, you need to be a LEADER. You are a childish, KDR chaser, how you became CPM, I'll never know. BTW, use your gear, keep it out of Hi-Sec, that's all. childish? KDR chaser? why not actually talk to me before making silly assumptions about me. I will play this game how is fun to me an I'm sorry but you have no right to dictate how i play this game. Frankly i dont see using proto in public games as a way of crapping on newbies but rather anticipating the other side bringing in their proto gear and responding in kind. But more than anything, this is a game and i dont get paid to be on the CPM so I will play this game in a way that is fun to me and you really dont have any right to demand i do anything less. Do I think matchmaking is a problem? OF COURSE I DO! Its one of the main thing i have been working for with CCP along side the new player experience. Just dont demand that I fit your mold of morality just because I have a tag next to my name. You want to know why I got CPM? Because I care about this game a lot more than clearly you think I do, I have been playing this game since beta day 1 and I have done so much work for the community, sacrificing my own time, money and in one or two situations, my own health to make this game the best I could. So excuse me when i decide if i want to play this game how i see fit.
we need gear based battles, then you can proto vs proto and have your fun.
as it stands its shite times for new players. I made an alt, 1 game in academy then into the proto stomp, not fun.
personally I see your attitude as part of the problem, yes it is your right to play that way but its a big problem for new and casual players alike. if you do want to do good then tell CCP that this is perhaps the biggest issue which needs to be tackled next or player retention will suffer.
I have seen some good games die because the developers listen to the vocal few who are not in touch with the majority. |

I have seen some good games die because the developers listen to the vocal few who are not in touch with the majority. I think gear based battles are a horrible idea because they'd be a nightmare to implement, and you'd need all sorts of fits just for different security space. I think gear based rewards are MUCH better, so the militia noob who just killed a proto gets a TON of ISK and WP for that kill, where as the proto who just stomped that noob gets next to nothing for his efforts.
to be honest, even if you get rich being a militia newb and getting 1 or 2 kills a battle its not going to be fun.
you play a game not because your paid - but to relax and enjoy yourself. being farmed in gear far better than you have month after month is not fun so you will quit with a lot of isk to give away.
beyond that atm you have those who can afford to proto 100% of the time because of PC and those who can't because they are not in PC. ATM I kill proto knowing that for 90% the loss probably means nothing to the person who lost it.
I see nothing wrong with being good, proving that your good on a level playing field ( such as what happens in PC) seems to be a luxury for the few. stomping the many by having better stuff/more SPs is a luxury enjoyed by the older players who think they are good.
personally I think many of the old guard are against gear based battles because they fear looking very average when they are in competitive battles. fighting to keep the status quo will allow many of these players to keep telling themselves that they are l33t. |

The players are asking .. and wait for this .. it will blow your mind ... PVE/High sec/low sec where certain levels of gear are restricted OR do SP restricted matches that slightly seperates the players into different bands maybe 500k - 5m sp and 5m sp + get put against each other rather than sticking guys just out of the academy v guys with 30m SP
Anyone remotely new asking for that will deeply regret it if it gets put in. Vets would love it because all their passive skills will make it super easy to stomp on people who can't figure out how your AR does 15% more damage. Gear restrictions favour those with more passive skills. Those people are not the new players.
passive differences close the gap a huge amount vs passive and gear differences. one is 15-25% the other 50-150% depending on what it is. |

I have seen some good games die because the developers listen to the vocal few who are not in touch with the majority. First I agree that the new academy experience needs to be revamped so that the "casual player" get the ******* clue early on that this ain't no ******* casual game! Second, adding in "gear based" matches will KILL THIS GAME! Why? Because it would further divide the limited pool of players even more. It wouldn't fix the problem but make it WORSE. Proto matches would never happen because not enough people and only when arranged for fun by the "lete" alliances. People would play advanced matches and complain about being owned all the time by the "lete" players who should have stayed at the Proto level, but didn't. And finally all your precious newbs would still get WTF OWNED by EVERYONE as EVERYONE would be using you basic/newb level matches to farm for ISK. Yeah I agree this is an issue, but it isn't one for CCP, it is one for players that still haven't figured out how this game actually works yet.
the pool of players will only get smaller with the current system.
if people are shite, they are shite nothing can be done about that, but at least its a bit more balanced and would help grow the game.
if the game grows then there will be more people for every level. you talk about limited player base being an issue, this is because many leave dust not long after academy because of feeling of uselessness because of the current huge imbalance between players in battles.
your views on everyone farming basic matches as a worst case scenario ........ is a lot better than the current system where newbs are farmed without mercy by proto gear. |
