I hope to god no developer listens to these people as rails are the most imbalanced piece of vehicle weaponry in this game.
This is the major problem here, we've all seen or at least should be watching your videos. But you cannot possibly tell me you think you have the right to spawn-f**k the lesser player or noobs (as some elite, influential people call for the end of the redline) or prevent one side from running over the other. I just watched the video where the guy says you're being reported and its embarrassing that you and you're elite elite elite team are running over matches full of decent players to noobs. It seems if you haven't pushed someone into the redline (as often happens by the 4-5 minute mark by elite squads), there would no place else for weaker team to spawn without you or other elite teams spawn camping them. Even in ambush, it's just a matter of moments before CCP "best spawn" places someone somewhere different and it repeats itself.
Many of the game's results are pre-determined, one side is normally much better than the other and there's little the weaker side can do to stop it from being a massacre. Dust 514 is two games, one played by the elite and one played by the rest and unfortunately they are playing in the same matches. If CCP addressed some major issues (match balancing, a mercenary mod like CoD, separating matches based on WP or SP) these things are less likely to happen. Then you can look into the smaller issues of less skilled players trying to shoot down dropships via rail guns tanks.
The elite have no trouble taking out the best dropships or tanks with 3-4 Proto forge gun hits but unless you fall into that category it is not a simple task. How else do you expect a weaker team who has been redlined to take on dropships? A few people take out a militia forge gun or swarm launcher, one hit, dropship uses hardeners and escape out of range. Or maybe someone jumps into a turret, which has yet to be destroyed, and gets off 1-2 shots before it flies too high or turret is destroyed. As a defensive play for many players, pulling out a rail gun tank seems to be the only way to stop a drop ship or tank or even infantry from red line hunting you and your team.
Elite players call for the removal of the redline or any tactic weaker players use to mess with elite players. After they've been redlined (redline sniping or redline rail guns) seems to way for the weak to rub the elite the wrong way. Why can't people just die respectfully and want to be stomped by elite players?!? The very least these people can do is get off a few well placed shots at tanks or dropships who are sitting at the redline waiting for someone's head to pop up over the hills. If you're going to lose, which most players know before the match or by the 5 minute mark of the game, why not go down swinging?
Fix the matchmaking process by balancing the teams and then the community can discuss tactics, which they believe are cheap. But you can't have one team roll the other and then complain they're hiding and being cheap.
