q-syncing is fantastic I love it saves my suits and you know you have support....your squad is doing most of the work anyways might as well just replace a few more blueberries so that your squad isn't the only one doing the work. Also its always fun to play with your friends.

"q-syncing in pubs is for scrubs..FW is for the real players"....well FW payouts suck ass and don't pay for the lost suits so you can see the issue why people rather q-sync in pubs more profitable. ( Ill admit I still do FW though just cause I cant resist it)

lol fw

I escalate. Which usually lands me in an ion cannon Maddy. I'd love a fair fight. Or even a close one. New Eden is the home of onesided battles. Its where the elite feel good about crushing the beginners. Its where the end game is exploited so they can. Funny thing is I never see the elite with out proto gear. Maybe proto is elite and it really doesn't matter who wears it.

There is no such thing as 'pubstomping' or 'protostomping'.
There are good players, and there are bad players.
Good players use the best available equipment, and take advantage of mics to coordinate with each other in battles.
Bad players refuse to do what the good players do to win, even though the bad players have every chance available.
Good players figure out the range of their weapon and pick fights at that range.
Bad players never think of this.
Good players learn to avoid enemy tanks.
Bad players think tanks are the Devil.
Good players learn to use a variety weapons.
Bad players wonder why the ScR won't one hit everything.
Good players trash talk each other on the forums.
Bad players threaten to sue CCP over a free game.
Good players recognize when they suck.
Bad players blame anything else they can find.

Too lazy and Youtubing to make a thread right now, so i'll post this here. King Babar has never stopped stomping since the 'help to the stompees' fa+ºade thing whatever its called. Just played in a pub, he is still using proto gear and spawn camping. But the spawn camp goes both ways cause your still spawning there. Anyway, yeah he still stomps so.... just sayin.'

Nothing like getting 10 proto stompers on 1 team....

Yeah, 3 million SP, one month playing, they should pull out their proto suits, link up with their buddies flying top of the line dropships and driving top tanks and play like real men and quit their bitching. What a hero.

if they want to separate us this is how they should group pubs selection
high sec pub- basic suits only no vehicles no proto weapons (normal payout)
low sec pub- basic-advance suits no proto tanks or ads (1.5x normal payout)
null sec pub- do what ever the **** you want the cops don't come to this this part of the ghetto (2x normal payout)
everyones happy no one gets gear stomped null sec is the blood bath it should be

Personally, I would be much less frustrated at getting stomped if I was getting stomped by people who really use teamwork and tactics to win or are genuinely better at the game than me, than by people who dominate simply because they run gear that most of the guys on my team have neither the ISK nor the SP to use.

Not saying that a lot of the protostompers don't also use teamwork and tactics to their advantage - that's all fine and should be encouraged - but stat padders who run protosquads because they know their gear will squash the opposition without challenge should feel bad because they're turning even beta vets like me off this game, to say nothing of the newberries who see that as their first experience out of the academy.

Of course, Scotty should also feel bad because his aptitude for finding appropriate challenges for these protosquads is abysmal, and I'm strongly in favor of a high-priority matchmaking overhaul to create more balanced pub matches in terms of squads and SP. I want to log into Dust for an hour and have fun... kill, die, win, lose, be challenged, not stomped.

FW, PC, and any other game modes that affect the greater New Eden universe should remain open to the same anything-goes mindset that Eve is so famous for, but pubs should be a place for people to have fun, not merely a stomping ground for protobears. No, it isn't "practice" for PC/FW, because there's no challenge involved. Bring back corp battles if you want a practice mode, that way one protosquad can fight another protosquad and be challenged on their terms, while more casual or lower SP players can be challenged on their terms in pubs.

Did you know that if you take 12 people and queue up for either Amarr or Caldari you are going to get a match within a couple of minutes because it generates an attack? I guess AE goes looking for hard matches just like DDB.

You want to try another bad excuse for why you need to form up to stomp scrubs? Or are you guys finally ready to admit you just want easy mode?

Yet another RA corp that has zero interest in "good fights". Your alliance has to be one of the single biggest contributors to people fleeing this game like a sinking ship.

Is there a reason you always go for the corp tag in every single one of your responses? It really degrades your argument. It doesn't make you sound smart, witty or even the least bit like you know what you're talking about. Anyone can make generalizations based on corp tags. Point in case, you were part of ZionTCD so you must be a dumbass by your own logic because I was in ZionTCD as well (albeit in closed beta when they were actually worth something, lololol - see, I can troll too).

Vague association aside, I run Proto when the enemy runs Proto. Until then, I use BPO gear. Oh, and I run solo 75% of the time. Stop making assumptions based on affiliation and, I dunno, do something productive with yourself instead of being butt-hurt/jelly all the time.

This right here. Meta-level capped matches are the way to go. You should be able to choose the security level match you want to participate in.

So you make a reply, with no actual response to my counter to your argument that q syncing for FW takes too long. I like that.

You think I am trolling you, but I am not. RA is an alliance of players who are not respectable. DDB are nothing, NS is a pubstomping corp, and AE, who have quality, but obviously no heart, are not too be taken lightly, but are easily pushed over when the going gets tough.

You joined the alliance of cowards. Don't be surprised to get painted by the same brush.

I will continue to play videogames with my friends, even when there are more than 6 of us playing at the same time. I don't care about "stomping" or "noobs" or any other meta nonsense. I play Dust 514 because it supports large organizations of players called corporations. That is literally the only draw this game has right now. So, if you tell me "hey, you can't play with large groups of your corp mates anymore" then I'll just quit playing the game entirely.

That being said, when we're qsyncing we always stick to Faction Warfare.

What is the description text for a pub contract game?
