i was in a match recently with a corp that i forgot the name of. maybe it was dragon-age or dragone-empire or something like that, but anyway, they were a pretty cool group of guys, except for one kid who sounded like he was no older than 10. i understand 10 year old logic can be very flawed, but i was just awe-struck at the amount of stupidity this kid was spewing.
we were playing a domination and most of us were scouts, except for him. the enemy got the point, and we all kind of separated and started doing our thing. after a while, i hear this kid start insulting his own corpmates saying, "am i the only one with half a brain around here?", or "how many times do i have to say cover me while i'm hacking!" they tried to explain to him that he couldn't expect scouts to "cover him" from heavies and proto stacked assaults, but he didn't want to hear any of that. he just kept trying to solo hack the objective, running STRAIGHT PAST enemies expecting us to cover him when we are no where near him.
needless to say, this kid who thought he knew what he was doing proceeded to go 1/17 and effectively rage quit.
i don't think i've ever seen a more useless squadmate in my entire time playing DUST...

I just mute people lol, that is if they are one of those types that think everyone is using the same exact bricked suit or weapon they have on them. The one thing I cant stand is when you are luring 1-3 into a trap and someone rushes past you and goes in guns blazing lol...

The blueberry and greenberry terms are just useless, everyone can be an idiot regardless of what color their dot is. I've went into matches often times alone, which would make me a blueberry, and still work well to benefit the team and win the game ultimately, and I often score on the top of the scoreboard. Equally, greenberries can be annoying and clueless idiots who have no concept of teamwork.
Sure, there are always going to be those people who just go sniping right away and get one kill the entire match, and those who completely ignore you when you're in need of a revive even in safe places, but both squad members and non-squad members are prone to do this. The reason why your average non-squad member seems to be more stupid and/or clueless is because they might be part of another squad, following their own orders which might look useless to you, but serve to benefit his squad. Or in case of unsquadded players, they usually go do their own things as there is no one to guide them.
A blueberry can't know that people are coming without a squad member using an active scanner, leaving him oblivious to danger and quickly killed because he got no warning at all aside a vague "You have been scanned" message before dying. Without this kind of information, they are often left clueless as to what to do and where to go to be the most effective, so they just wander around aimlessly trying to find something to kill. When you keep dying over and over again to organized players, even if they're not protostomping, many of them resort to sniping because then they can minimize the risk of death and still have something to do.
People usually determine the value of a non-squad member on the limited information they're given from the few glimpses they saw him in battle, and the scoreboard result at the end of a match. Someone who only got 25 warpoints and died 20 times may seem like a waste of clones, but he could have just been trying to defend a heavily contested objective and kept being slaughtered by better equipped and skilled players. There's a lot of information you don't know about the people you see on the scoreboard, and low scores don't always mean that they're bad players.
But MCC shooters and redline missile installation campers are still idiots, as are the people the OP described.

A squad doesn't need 5 scouts to begin with so I don't blame the kid for getting mad at you guys for dicking around. The point of Dom is take the objective and hold it; not prance around the map getting ninja kills that doesn't even effect the tide of battle.
Edit: A squad is supposed to help each other out, not do their own thing. That's why you're in a squad and if you don't want to help them out then you should be running solo.

The fact that the kid alone went 1-17 tells me that he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I mean I went higher than that against Nyain San in PC matches.

Last night I had the same experience only opposite. I was squadded up with a couple of vets who were obviously good, they both had good scores, like 19-0, but our team kept losing. A big part of that was because they were hunting snipers and spawn camping instead of taking and holding the objective. Your kid might have been stupid but I'd trade the two I had for him any day.
Because, that's why.

The only one kidding themselves here is you by calling the only person on your squad that was actually trying, useless. You guys are obviously the ones that were being useless by running up to 5 scouts when a squad only needs 1 or 2 at most. The worse part is that you chose to be useless because I know you've been here long enough to have enough SP to run good fits other than scouts.
Don't try to make yourself feel better by blaming your own uselessness on other people that are actually trying.

a squad of good scouts can be very scary. I've seen a couple in dom run to the other side, hack all installations, then take out droplinks, leaving the enemy flanked, and vulnerable. Red berries held the objective, but with no outside support and were essentially ducks in a barrel and quickly wiped out.
That said, I love clueless blueberries. they're kind of cute in a noob sort of way. But a clueless greenberry with a mic that rage quits? ugh.. that would make me rage quit.

I'm pretty sure I know who your talking about a few months back he added me as a contact and would constantly try to get me and a few other players he thought were good into his corp by spamming mails and chat channels every once in a while those other people were convincing him to stop but he just wouldn't listen. Then later he joined a corp called Dragon-Empire and wanted me to join, but at this point I was annoyed and just ignored him. I have seen him on the scout channel recently but I'm pretty sure he does run scout

Don't try to make yourself feel better by blaming your own uselessness on other people that are actually trying. nope. i have almost 26 million sp and all of my viable fits are scouts, with the only exception being a 550 melee damage cal med frame ck.0. and who said we weren't trying? there's a difference between being smart about trying to get the objective and just blindly running in trying to hack it even though there are multiple enemies surrounding you.
i know the limitations of my suit. i'm not going to try to take on 3 stacked logis head on with an advanced scout suit. that doesn't mean i'm being useless, it just means i'm being smart.

I have 22 mil, I have a proto slayer logi and real logi fit with adv equipment, I have a heavy proto hmg & proto forge both with prof 4 I have most weapons to adv (except flaylock, Scr, Scp, shotgun, & nova knives); I can be long range, short range, or cqc. I can be a killer or a healer and certainly my fits are lacking in areas but they get the job done most of the time and when one role becomes useless I switch to one that isn't..
You said yourself that the enemy took the objective and there was nothing you could do about it in your scout suit (thus you were being useless) and now you say you were playing smart? What were you doing, trying to starve them out? Or were you actually just getting ninja kills on strays that had absolutely no impact on the the tide of battle?

Your job in Dom is to hack the point. Screwing around treating a Dom like team deathmatch, the fault is on you. You would've been probably more useful in a basic heavy frame on the point than screwing around as a scout not on the point.

At least when they are that age there is some hope they will grow out of it. I have run into some people who were supposedly adults who were even worse. Not much hope for them.
I have a couple of 12 year olds in my corp. They seem cool. One of them always calls me GÇ£sirGÇ¥ which is a nice touch.

1. Some of you don't understand that scouts don't camp an objective, they scatter and flank. Try playing as a real scout sometime.
2. Some of the best squads I run with are full scout squads. You only need 1-2 scouts? Maybe in PC, but it's perfectly viable in pubs.
I'm eager to see the FOTM chasers spending their refunded SP into scouts come 1.8. It won't be long before they realize scouts aren't mini assaults and beg for another respec.

1. No, we understand that but flanking in objective based modes is only useful when it enables the capture of the objective or routing of the enemy trying to capture the objective from your team. Neither of which were apparently happening in the match being discussed.
2. Sure it's viable in ambushes where it's only kill or be killed. But in an objective based mode when that squad can't capture or assist in the capture of the objective and defend or assist in the defense of the objective then that squad is not viable; it's just useless dead weight. And in the match being discussed he clearly states that his squad of scouts couldn't do anything about the objective. If they want to play an objective based mode then they should play for the objective; if they just want to play for kills then they should play ambush.
However I don't expect a group of scouts to capture and hold an objective, What I do expect is when a persons role is useless in the current situation that they don't say it's not my fault that I'm useless and then point the finger at someone else.

Call me reckless, stupid whatever. But if someone's trying to hack, scout or not, I will defend at least while he's hacking, but not if he's zerging like he has a death wish into a group of reds. He's being reckless, but don't bash a 10 year old who think he knows everything. Not matter how annoying he is.
