The message I was trying to convey with that orbital strike example is not about glitches. What I am saying is this - if you give the weapons that could decimate the enemy with ease, players WILL flock to it. And the players I refer to are the KDR whores who care nothing for tanks, weapons, LAV's, RE's, or dropsuits. The only thing they care about is their KDR. And what combination of anything that would get them the most kills quickly with the least amount of deaths.
These are the players who would've gotten everything from murder taxis, flaylocks, redline sniping, tower forging, and now militia tanks. Whatever the FOTM is/was. They've been there and done that.
And the ones who get the loss are players like you and me who happen to spec into something we are passionate with and has nothing to do with KDR. I love my forge gun and nothing will ever replace it. No matter how much they nerf it.
See this is the problem, always you go to name calling. This guys murders so he must be a KDR *****. This guy is using an OP weapon, he must be an FOTM user. Why is it that you ASSUME these guys must me something I doubt they really are?
You know who I am, I'm ******* Tebu Gan. I don't care about KDR, as sometimes winning means SACRIFICING KDR. I don't care about FOTM, as it would take far TOO MUCH SP to go FOTM every single update. I play to win, and if the other team wants to fight dirty, you fight dirty back.
Yes I get it, Dust 514 had a lot of hype behind it, PVE, market, engaging game play, ect ect ect. I like many others, was looking forward to some team PVE play. I was expecting more, but this is what we have.
A straight up FPS shooter. Nothing else. I know we all want more and more, but you really need to step back and look at the reality of the situation.
What is the goal of the game, the actual game play. How can you call that anything but a competition? You may have other ideas in mind in a match, but the goal is the WIN.
The best fit wins, nuff said.
The overall goal of the post though, was to point out the fact that there is no such thing as an FOTM player or KDR *****. These are titles you place upon players without actually knowing any reasoning behind them. I mean, how can you assume that the same players are constantly dropping 5 to 6 mil and update to get the next FOTM.
Or that the guy at the top of the leaderboard is simply some "tryhard" (another stupid "title") that should tone it down so everyone else can enjoy themselves. Are you really that selfish, to think that since you either can't run the gear you want, or you simply won't, that everyone else should stoop to your level???
You can disagree with me all you want, and a surprisingly large number of people seem too, but at the end of the day, this game revolves and thrives off of competition. When the goal of each match is to WIN, how can you honestly say otherwise?
