we dont need a IWS story board added, we need tiered fighting, wether it be by SP or by dropsuit tier/meta levels. People will try argue that there isn't enough people to split the community, but reality is that there is, They're just scared of the thought of having to fight other proto tryhard 1337 scrubs.
Fact of the matter is this game loses a larger majority of potential players through pathetic and poor design(non-existant) matchmaking and a terrible NPE(new player experience). I have had so many friends try Dust514, I run quiete a few games with a 6000+ strong online gaming community; I am the ONLY one of those people who plays Dust514. It is the only game I know of that we have only 1 person actually playing.
In an ideal world the stompers would realise that they have **** oponents and maybe switch to MLT/STD fits. They won't ever do this, I don't know if its a pride thing, or arrogance or maybe even they are scared a closer battle.
This game will always struggle to capture new players.
It's a shooter with the standards of 2008(max), claims of tactical shooter, no tactics in sight. Depth, though there is only a handful of things worth putting your SP into, which in reality is a shallow game. So many people will play for a few days and go back to Boyfriend 4 or kids of dookie, which rewards you fast, offers fast and clean(er) action.

Today I was bored and thought I would make an academy character and go help some newer players, In academy the were fine, clueless but happy, we all graduated in 2 matches(I held back so they could at least 2 matches in academy.
We start our 1st real game, A domination that eventually I end up on the winning side, problem is out of my 5 man squad, I was the only one who finished the match.
3 of them left after I told them this(stomp) would last longer than a few days, which was one of their questions "How long do will we be this weak?, is it days or weeks kinda thing?" ....... Months and months...
2 of them playing together said and i quote "well **** this" and left, the 3rd killed 2 people then get mashed by a rail rifle from miles away, and left battle, I messaged him, nothing.
Last guy seemed to be real interested, asking a lot of questions about the different roles, by time he had his 5rd run in with the 4 enemy tanks running around, he said "Hey man thanks for the help, this is garbage. I just wanted to try it, peace"
In conclusion, it's not fun for new players. A game HAS to be fun, NO.1 criteria for all games. IT MUST BE FUN.
The survival of this game in the long run depends on capturing new players.
