DUST Search - The Goons

You can get mad, or turn this around on me, but I personally don't like Goons. The only time I have ever seen any of them in a match for the last several months was to watch them boosting in match (opposite sides, hunting a solo blue to kill/rev. couldn't help b/c was across map) and generally making sure that anyone engaging their corpmates on the opposit team were distracted by fire from behind. Then they went into the local chat (specifically 2 of them from a previous match doing the majority of the boosting) and proceeded to gloat about the boosting and recruiting others to join their corp so they could "show them the ropes" of boosting (their words, not mine). Seemed pretty low-class, but to each his own, as it served no purpose than to show others how to run off the new playerbase.

I know it doesn't matter. I know you will likely take this as an attack on the corp as I only have limited interaction, all negative. Regardless, most everyone I know has little to no opinion of Goons, as we are mostly dusters exclusively. I just felt the Goon-lovefest should have someone throw in some reality as well. Several ways to increase stats without resorting to boosting, and any corp which supports these particular methods is not one I think can effectively have any serious Dust-side impact. That is unless they are carried by corps with players who earned their stats. In which case, GL with that.

P.S. Not in Eve. Don't plan to go into Eve. Only care about Dust.

Also nobody should play this game seriously as it's not very good. A clone in your merc quarters is worth two in ambush.

I like you guys in dust though, you're the complete opposite of your eve counterpart lol. Plus you're waaay more honest A fair shake is all we can ask for. People seem to think goons are a gaming community with only a few members who bounce between games with the intention to ruin them when we are in fact not, we're people who hang out at SA and a few of us play some video games.

The idea of not entering pc because it is pointless seems lazy. It would make sense to say " We tried in pc and lost. After multiple defeats we stopped because it was hurting our moral too much " Saying pc is pointless is like " I don't want to go to school because i would fail and the teachers hate me. The education system is broken " I know everyone wants to cling to the narrative that goons are incompetent morons who you would totally show who's the boss if only they would play by the rules you've made up but we actually did alright in PC until burnout killed our interest in it. We are a small corp who doesn't recruit among the player base because we want people who are fun to play with rather than people with "gun game" so we just don't have the numbers to cycle people through PC matches.

No one is going to get mad at you but I have 2 notes about this post. 1. We don't "boost" as you call it to pad our stats, too much attention gets paid to individual stats in this team game. We do that to have fun and troll, we don't actually care about our KDR. 2. We don't recruit among the public so anyone claiming to be recruiting for the purpose of teaching anybody anything is likely only trying to scam isk or annoy someone. I fail to understand how crashing some prototype lone wolf sniper's KDR in a FW is running off new players but then again I doubt you do, I suspect your just repeating something you've heard someone else who doesn't like us say because it reinforces your own opinion.

Doing the same with same 1-2 goons. You don't have to believe me, I even called him on it in the local chat. He stated you all were down with it and I believed him. Just stating FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE, and inferring only based on what he told me. Saw him in local chat just 2 days ago, haven't for awhile, and he is still a goon. So no passing it as someone who you guys booted. Not saying it isn't your right to do it, I just think it it low-class. Nothing more, nothing less. If the corp supports it, then you have actually confirmed what I suspected in the first place. P.S. When someone gets on local chat bragging about boosting, using the term boosting, and I also witnessed said boosting in match....it is boosting. You misunderstand, I never denied any of your claims we absolutely do what your accusing us of just not for the reasons you originally thought. To be more clear Dust is not a great game, you would be hard pressed to find any aspect of it that isn't at least somewhat broken it is not worthy of reverence and should be approached as a vehicle for creating fun rather than a contest of skill.

I happen to think you might need it. Dear Mr. Kettle It has recently come to my attention that you have been spreading unflattering statements about my appearance. I think you'll find that the very thing you have been saying about me is also true of yourself, I hope we can put this unplesantness behind us and move forward together as friends.

Going by personal experience, I'd say that you guys were excellent at farming kills on your own team. Oh I remember you! I thought at the time it was kind of funny we were team killing a guy named Everything Dies, good times. Hope the rest of your night went smoothly nothing personal friend.
