DUST Search - How is this possible?

Because how in the f*ck else could can this phenomenon be explained? How can players that are so bad all just happen to be for Amarr and/or Caldari? We're not talking bad, we're talking bottom barrel, worst of the worst, shouldn't be playing DUST 514, and probably should be looking into ways to have the government give them financial support through social systems because of their utter lack of thinking power...
I picture Amarr and Caldari players all big headed kids that drool and stare at corners for weeks on end, with only the sole thought of reminding themselves to breath once in a while running through their head.

Seriously. This needs to be looked into for the pure sense of fascination and possible discovery in the field of intellectual short comings. Doesn't the United Nations have a division to study and analyze something like this?

Magnus Amadeuss Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 284	Posted - 2013.12.19 10:31:00 - [4] - Quote I agree, the default selection screen should have no faction selected, not every faction. The reason why the newer players who have no idea what they are doing get put into amarr/caldari FW is because they indeed have all of the factions selected, and the amarr/caldari wait times are MUCH shorter. Best counter to Tanks? Tanks Best counter to Infantry? Tanks Best counter to Dropships? Tanks
R F Gyro Clones 4u 869	Posted - 2013.12.19 11:11:00 - [5] - Quote Interesting theory. Well worth keeping on the front page in the hope that someone from CCP sees it. I personally think the faction selection should start off with only the character's own faction (race) selected, but of course that just moves the problem back to the character creation screen. Did I read somewhere that the order of the races on that screen was randomised? RF Gyro: 12.5% damage bonus; 10.5% rate of fire bonus

Seems to be Cal and Min more often than not though :P but maybe that's just me being bitter. >Cosgar: You know, tanks are actually paper thin once their modules are in cooldown.
Izlare Lenix FREE AGENTS LP 38	Posted - 2013.12.19 11:28:00 - [7] - Quote More often than not there are at least 6 players on the Caldari side that get zero kills but still manage to die a dozen times. I am not even being sarcastic. It's like every Caldari team has at least one full squad straight out of academy. I leave more games than I finish since it is normally 3-4 squids fighting against a dozen frogs while the rest of the Caldari team sits in the red line and drools in the corner. If CCP paid out the LP according to your finishing score like how ISK is paid in pub matches I would stay in a battle I know we will lose, which is most of them. But they don't do I won't keep burning ISK for 75 LP.

Yagihige Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 493	Posted - 2013.12.19 11:45:00 - [9] - Quote What? Everyone forgot the FW rewards event? During that event, the complete opposite happened. All the good players were on Caldari/Amarr because the rewards were deemed better and Gallente/Minmatar got the below average players. During that period, both Caldari/Amarr got to control close to 100% too. I didn't jump ship and still managed to win rewards for the Minmatar side but i'm pretty sure back in that event, if a noob who didn't even know how to select factions/modes on the battle finder started queuing, they'd most likely end up on Gallente/Minmatar side. So could we please stop with this alphabetical nonsense? em ta kool t'nod

Me and 1 dude spent the whole match capping points, bowling through scores of amarrian mercs, we waited till blues spawned in to hold the point! Before we had even driven to the next point, the previous was lost! Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl.1

Is it alphabetical at all (ie. Amarr first, then Caldari)? There is no bias towards any particular faction if that is what you are getting at. However you will more likely get matched to an underpopulated faction just so we can get battles happening faster. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=130135&p=2 RF Gyro: 12.5% damage bonus; 10.5% rate of fire bonus

Jack McReady DUST University Ivy League 976	Posted - 2013.12.19 12:41:00 - [15] - Quote I see that most of you have short memory. remember the FW "event" with rewards based on the faction you were fighting for? gallente/minmatar rewards were crap, every good player from gallente/minmatar started to play amarr/caldari and it turned around quite fast. the most fun part was how some amarr tryhard scrubs claimed it was "their effort" and when the event was over they lost everything again
Django Quik Dust2Dust. 1973	Posted - 2013.12.19 12:41:00 - [16] - Quote My theory is more simple - greater numbers of experienced mercs run gallente and minmatar, thus filling up those sides, so that when a player has all 4 selected, the only teams with space to fill are caldari and amarr.

GET ATMESON Dem Durrty Boyz Renegade Alliance 198	Posted - 2013.12.19 13:07:00 - [17] - Quote Amarr and caldari are just unpopular? Maybe the LP store for them is weak. Look at the Amarr LP store. There complex armor repair does 3%. What the flip! Its 5% for complex. 1.7 HMG hotfix works great. Now for more Heavy suits or guns soonGäó

I suspect that, as soon as it became clear who was winning most of the time, any mercs who were well-informed (which generally means better players), and who were in any way ambivalent about which side to fight for, decided to fight for the factions that won the most. This is self-reinforcing, so I don't forsee it changing as long as the payout for a FW loss is to trivial. RDVs are a failed experiment - can't we just remove them from the game?
