It's almost like CCP wants you to find some kind of group of players in-game to lean on for support. Some kind of guild, but more contemporary. Perhaps you are meant to join into 6 man teams (I haven't decided what to call them yet) and coordinate your attacks; effectively increasing your power through tactics.
Man, I hope something like that gets implemented one day.

My corp and I do MIL/STD fitting nights just for lawls. We kill protobears with a fierceness. A six man squad can do some pretty incredible things if you have a good role make-up and cooperative squadmates.
Also: melting prototype suits in a STD caldari assault suit my no-no bits happy.

My squad of tryhard window lickers makes PRO sentinel pudding frequently enough. Your HMG might kill one of us (in a STD suit, btw) but the other five will kill you.
Sounds like you're either over exaggerating in a big way or have been fighting squads that are somehow worst than mine... which is impossible.
Rusty Shallows wrote:Good luck getting those newbs into decent Corps or good squads. Riley you know darn well squads are going to either ignore unknowns or kick them when a higher SP buddy shows up. There is little point in you blindly defending CCP on this crap.
I don't defend CCP. I call it like I see it: Dust was never meant to be a single player game and your chances of survival increase significantly from being in a squad. Proof of concept: my barely-sentient dipshits gets 2.0+ K/D nearly every fight when we squad up.

Interplanetary Insanitarium wrote:Doesn't that limit their potential player base 
Yes, it does. Ask CCP if they care. They want you to form bonds with people in your contact list, corporation, and alliance. Bonds keep you playing day after day, even when patches take 3+ months and balancing is ******. Ask most of the bitter vets here why they are playing. I bet their answers are something like, "I like to hang out with my friends and play a couple of matches."

Then you aren't soloing. You may not trust these people with your life or anything, but you are playing in a squad. That is exactly what CCP wants. I bet if they knew they could get away with it they would force everyone into squads.

A-*******-men. I want PvE in a bad way. Co-op PvE would cause me to actually spend real money on this game on a very regular basis (not AUR gear, mind you; active and passive boosters please).
