Squads? How many friends you got that still play?
if you see us with 8-12 in a match, it's because we have 8 -12 corpmates actively playing. We are in a corp together because we like playing together, or at worst chatting. If everyone is in a different game it can get confusing.
Do some of us run proto regularly, Yes. But they would've done that anyway.
Do some of us rarely run full-on proto, absolutely. I ALWAYS carry a proto rep, but the rest varies on specific suits which are rarely above Adv. (Almost all have it but never use it except for "special" occasions, maybe 1-2 suits a day)
So I have to ask....If you have 12 friends on at once, why wouldn't you play on the same side? |

Blues are ******* stupid. They annoy us and tend to do very stupid things. Instead of playing with them we would rather play with competent players who know how to play their role and actually communicate with each other.
Plus it's easier to counter scrubby tank spammers with 2 full squads than one. The good corps tend to have much more AV.
:P
HMMMM... at one point in time...was you a BLUE? Not sure I am understanding the dominant entitlement mentality.
He likely was....and his current corp would've likely ignored him until he STOPPED being a blueberry. Blue isn't a color, it's a state of mind.....and a quite useless one at that. Pains, and gives me hope, to see someone firing their AR or a turret at the MCC. Means still getting new players, but most of them are morons. |

With Tech Guard at-least we que sync so everyone can play together. Pubs give isk, faction does not. They are adults and should be able to cope with having to wait in a video game?
wait for what? Maybe all 6 just got on 5 minutes ago and gonna roll for 2-3 hrs. Should 1 sqd penalize themselves because a corpmate got on, or just bring 1 more into the match with them splitting into a 3 and 4 man sqd. Only option is wait an indefinite period of time, split sqd and run together, or run solo pubs. Only 1 option sounds appealing to me, but maybe an adult would find worth in the other 2. |

Zero challenge? Is that enough of a reason?
No, it is not....but thanks for the effort. I play to hang out with friends and shoot other people. Nothing about the level of challenge or even the name of the opponents matter to me. My sqd/teammates may check, but I never do cuz IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEIR NAME IS. I spawn, run with friends, leave finished lobby, then do it again. I only care about who the opponent is after the result, as I have found that knowing beforehand generally impacts my match negatively (regardless of my opinion of them).
So you can try again, but I will ask again, why wouldn't I want to run with 6-11 other friends?
P.S. I would bet almost anything that you never once said that you are entering a match looking for a challenge, but that instead you hoped your team came out on top, regardless of other factors. If you say you would prefer a loss in a challenging match (meaning u just dumped a mountain of isk since what is challenging if you don't fail/succeed equally) to redlining a team after a bit of effort, I gotta call you a liar. |

Which is how I spent almost my entire first year in this game. Me and my few original friends (the ones I got started) regularly had less than a full squad and got worked. But we got better, made friends, kept up with those friends, got better again using teamwork as a reason, and eventually joined several of those newer friends to be where we reside now. We saw that it is a better game when you are together in a large group, for communication reasons if nothing else. I, and my original friends, are now in a position that we regularly have more than 6 people we would like to fight with, and that is what we wanted from the start. But as stated before, not gonna make 1 guy run solo while we roll. And I'm definitely not gonna weaken all 7+ of us by splitting up just because someone can't find either a tight corp or 6+ friends to play with. I worked pretty hard to get here, because when I saw how effective communicating groups can be I didn't want to be on the receiving end of that again.
We only do it in pubs cuz there is nowhere else to go. PC is difficult to enter right now for several reasons (yes, we have tried, and will likely try to do so again eventually). FW is nothing but an isk sink, and cant afford proto reps only running there. So our only option to keep playing this game is pubs. Give us a way to gain isk w/o joining pubs and we would likely go there.
As it stands, the only answer is to join squads, make friends, and run together regularly......in an mmofps based around the corporation as the main way for players to congregate.....go figure. |
