The term "FoTM" (Flavor of The Month); refers to gear that is spammed on the battlefield because it grants an unbalanced advantage over people who don't use the same gear. An exception to the "FoTM Scrub" label is usually granted by the community if they invested SP into the gear before it became a "FoTM" Vehicles are currently a "FoTM" and are being spammed by "FoTM Scrubs" as well. However, because of the SP refund; you would have to invest SP in order to use vehicles once more.

Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1278	Posted - 2014.02.20 15:47:00 - [3] - Quote Suck on it Atiim. The problem is that the scrubs aren't speccing into tanks at all and don't need to. We sp tankers are suffering because we didn't really need to spec into them either apparently. Stop being butthurt over tanks. They're still in the development mix. What will you complain about when you can't complain about tanks? Help us snipers and complain more about helping snipers to be a useful role, nay, an actual developed role. It's Scout Sniper. That's different from the run of the mill college tower sniper (although it's fun to play that role too, amiright?) MAVs are on the way, oh lawdy what we gonna do then boss? Lol. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

Scissors are OP nerf them But I picked scissors and my enemy picked Rock so Scissors is not OP .. nerf Rock !! But I chose Rock and my enemy chose Paper and beat me .. Nerf Paper !! CCP:- Due to most people using Paper we have decided to remove it from circulation whilst we rebalance it 2 months Later CCP:- We are reintroducing Paper ... It is now called Diamond Paper and we are using waves of opportunity .. If you go up against a Diamond Paper user you have the opportunity to run back to your redline and sit in the MCC New Stats ... It now breaks scissors and still beats rock Community Diamond Paper is clearly OP what on earth are you playing at CCP do you not test these things before you introduce them ? Diamond Paper users .. Diamond Paper isn't OP you all just need to get good !!!! CCP .. dWe know it is unbalanced and are looking into fixing it ... 3 months later .. still no change

Vulpes Dolosus SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 972	Posted - 2014.02.20 18:36:00 - [14] - Quote I flew dropships pre-1.7. I use rail tanks as counter FotM. And to preemptively deny FotM when scouts get a buff, I've been running BPO scouts for a while now and have been meaning to skill into them eventually, and currently I can't skill into the Cal scout because of obvious reasons. I skill into what I like, what's effective, and what's needed. Easy mode isn't part of my decision. ADS Kills: Lost count a while ago...

I'm surprised at how many ridgeline snipers I snuck up on with my Gunnlogi. I must've been as close as 5m in some cases and spent a fair amount of time trying to angle myself appropriately to get a direct hit on the sniper with my large missile turret. Seriously people, your situational awareness is just awful. I can commonly hear other tanks before I see them while I'm driving around in my own noisy and clunky Gunnlogi.

MLT would be for newbies to get a taste of tanking. A newbie shouldn't ever be able to rival an experienced and dedicated tanker. That's the kind of Dust I learned tanking in, back when a Sagaris would only have to look at my Sica and pop me open. But I persevered because I was committed to learn. Newbies currently have it easy-mode where they are almost as effective as dedicated tankers. The game in its current state is not weeding out the FOTMers; it's actually encouraging FOTM tanking and it is detrimental to the dedicated tanking community that stuck with tanking since closed beta. Chromosome was near-perfect because there was no point to go into tanking unless you were absolutely committed to learn and go up against dedicated tankers that would rip you a new one.

Anyone who ran tanks regularly in 1.6 should be exempt from this label. That being said, most of the good tankers I knew in 1.6 are mostly playing as Infantry now, unless the other team calls in 6 tanks and someone lights up the GÇ£batGÇ¥ signal. Now before 1.8 hits, I just want it on record that I created my HMG Heavy in 1.3 when HMG Heavies were Under Powered. (That was before the hit point buff, and before the HMG fix.)

I guess since I haven't been here since closed beta (didn't have my own PS3. Played on my brother's. I curse the day I didn't make my own PSN account on his PS3.) I can't be a part of the super elite, ultra exclusive Closed Beta Bitter Vet Tankers. Surely a scrub like me could never become a dedicated tanker now that I've missed that Golden Age.
