Because the first year of this game was CaldariShieldTanking514 and F***YouDuctTapeSlaveScrubsBecauseMyS***IsGold514.

Because the AR is he most common weapon in the game and everyone and their mother has the Duvolle. As such it's only natural to want the Duvolle specialist.
Also the gallente logi is pretty... Ya kno... So ppl play for that too.
Not to mention the best scout is for gallente too

I was wondering when someone would bring this up ( I was going to if no one else did).
I find it hard to have any sympathy for Caldari and I have always detested Amarr.
But as to the reason for the MinGal dominance, I would offer, as it has been offered before that the Duvoulle is the likely reason. While the RR is awesome, it doesn't do "everything" the same way the AR does. It has limitations and I would dare say in PC you don't want to find yourself limited as a result. And looking at it the other way, the CR has an advantage in CQC over the AR...thus, the Min love. Same with the HMG for Heavies. As a Heavy, the gun is more important than the suit, always has been.
What does Caldari or Amarri have that the majority of players will want or need? |

Mass drivers? Check. Combat rifles? Check. Speed suits? Check. HMGs? Check!
Kinda sucks that all these "I only play to win, not have a good fight" guys are making my timer between matches so long.

I am Gallente in Eve.
But I've considered fighting for the Amarr just for more of a challenge. I don't wanly to screw up my Gallente standings or I'd fight for Caldari.
It doesn't matter really though all the random solo players are killing FW and Dust in general.

I run a bit of Gallente and Caldari, but my passion is for Amarr. It's due in part to the lore, mostly because of the cosmetics, but also because there is just a bit of a challenge. I do what I can to **** off Minmatar tankers and redliners. No way am I letting duct tape junkies **** on my front porch.

Everyone ran AR up until a few weeks ago. FW launched and people are farming good weapons for what they are ALREADY skilled into. I also see alot of Gallente suits running around which is one more reason to run FW. Why fight for unproven weapons and inferior proto suits? |

Is proto stomping random players, mostly noobs in basic gear that exciting? Do you get a thrill from redlining the map and then tripping over each other for kills while camping the one hostile uplink/CRU?
I was on a map earlier when 4 red tanks and a red squad had 4 squid players pinned in a bunker building. The rest of the map was red and we were the only four dudes doing ANYTHING for Caldari. And the Frogs were damn near killing each other to get in that building.
I want an honest answer. LP is not worth enough to play a boring game, that has no risk, no challenge. I have played on the frog side several times and it is as boring as a dead map on oceanic.
Please explain how killing noobs in basic gear, often stuck in the red line, is fun for full proto squads. Is K/D padding that important or are there other reasons? We are a Gallente corp have been fighting on that side since fac war came out stomping you scrubs way before 1.7 nothing has changed. No one told you guys to run cheap gear and not squid up thats your problem. There is nothing even in the Gallente lp store that i even want i have all proto toys anyway that i can buy with isk. I have 50,000 LP with nothing to spend it on maybe i will buy a bunch of madrugers and put remotes on them and just crash into your tanks all day.

I play against C-FW because they're a bunch of no-good losers. LOSER. YOU'RE A LOSER. BABY WANT A BOTTLE? A BIG DIRT BOTTLE?

What you get from the LP store, is more beneficial from Minmatar and Gallente, atleast for me and a couple peers. We have dedicated Caldari and Amarr faction runners in corporation
The main reason to be honest is the amount of new players or players for a month or so are joining FW with no preference to whom they fight for. It was supposed to be a middle of the road challenge when you start getting a decent amount of Skill Points, ISK and Skill and knowledge of Maps in DUST. The average Caldari and Amarr FW runners doesn't know the maps... most for instance don't even understand they need to "hack" the objective and merely get there then stand around assuming it will change over. Most won't even invest into their win's where most Minmatar and Gallente are wearing ADV and Prototype.
A lot actually have to do with the type of gear the LP store offer aswell. Most of the gear would benefit a new player more then a veteran, as you need a lot less skills to use the items is the main benefit to 80% of the stuff in the LP store(not a reduction in fitting cost). This would make most of the LP store items appeal to a new player as they can get into Prototype gear with a lot less skills. Even the Madrugar Federation edition requires no skills to use.
A lot have to do with players that don't know any better because CCP doesn't explain their games to well, and the rest has to do with this being a free to play, and the average player we even get into DUST 514 is... special.. and will keep going back for the loss and blame everyone else. The rest has to do with Aim assist turning this game into (You have "X" health, I have "X" health, I have "X" damage, you have "X" damage... both our aim assists lock on... the person with inferior skills and gear looses.) so new players that work or have Aiming ability are not really a factor unless the vet is reloading.. Meh >.> |

Most of the people who currently play for the Gallente/Minmatar were also doing so even when the Amarr & Caldari owned 99% of FW territory.
We are what people call LOYALISTS. We have LOYALTY. We aren't going to go fight for our enemy because the vast majority of your players suck.
I fight for the Minmatar because I hate the Amarr. Along with that all of the gear I use is either Minmatar or Caldari, so the Amarr offers me nothing, while also managing to go against my ideals and RP.
And don't give me that crap about easymode. Almost every match I've ever been in has had coordinated squads of people in PRO gear on the enemy team.
Get better.
Honest Answer: Because I am a Matari at heart. A loyalist to the Republic and all that he stands for.

Personally I just want Minny LP. Though earlier it was taking 10 mins or so to even get into a game.
I have considered fighting for Caldari to help balance things out (lol yea like I will make the blindest bit of difference) but to be honest if you dont want LP for a certain race then what is the point of fighting for a team that has nothing to offer you?
FW is a great idea but it is so lob-sided currently. I say CCP should give every faction a few high end better than complex (Just under officer level) gear that everyone will want so they will move around and fight for everyone.
Faction weapons that dont just give fitting bonus, maybe make them just a slight bit LESS powerful than the officer guns.
Like it is in eve... you get the idea. |

If you werent smart enough to realized is most of the stuff alot of those corps and most players use now are in the gallnete/minmatar loyalty market(cheap Proto AR and CR,vechicle stuff,proto suits etc) It isnt about going over to the winning side for easy win,it's about individuals coming together knowig what they want and working together.
A strange game.
The only winning move is
not to play.

^ This
I play for Gallente & Minmatar because that's who our alliance supports EVE-side, and even though we are not currently participating in FW in EVE, I choose to continue the trend. I believe our corp's DUST standings should effect the corp/alliance's ability to enlist for faction warfare, as it does with EVE corp standings - strengthening the DUST-EVE link (albeit only slightly) and maybe encouraging more varied RP corps.
Of course, FW still needs work and many do not deem it worthwhile to participate in DUST FW.
