Thanks in advance for an honnest discussion without too much trolling.
Alright, ill let you know how it is from my perspective. im a relatively new player. this is not my first FPS but it is my first Dust/EVE account. I have a total of 6 million SP. With that in mind;
-I dont have access to proto gear. I dont have access to suits where i can stack tons of modules.
-I dont have access to prototype weapons with proficiency and reload and such all maxed out
-I dont have access to the SP it takes to max out armor, shield, module access, ect.
-As a part time player, I dont have the ISK to finance all of the above even if it was unlocked.
-I dont do squads. Being in a squad takes the enjoyment out of the game for me.
With that being said, lets look at the tanks;
-I can access milita tanks. Both start at 59,000ISK with a stock turret equipped. (about 74,000ISK once outfitted)
-If I die once or not at all in a milita tank, thats only -74,000 from the 200,000 i usually get paid
-I can actually help the team by shooting down ADS, keeping other tanks engaged, and making infantry entrench instead of advance.
- I can inflict heavier financial losses on the other team. Lets say I lose 3 tanks in a heated match, but managed to destroy 10 protosuits in the process. That costs me 222,000ISK. But the cost to the other team is 2.5million.
-i can take on the 6 vs 1 squads without losing too much ISK. (3 advanced suits cost= 1 tank)
People are tired of facing squads of 6 or 12 elite fully loaded people going against them. When Im out of a tank, do they line up and wait their turn to fight me 1 vs 1? No, they all jump on me at once and i die and lose a 20,000ISK suit. Sometimes before I even get a shot off.
in a tank, suddenly those 6 people, the tables are turned, and they have to face the same odds I had to face. They can be killed in 2-3 shots suddenly without ever having a chance. When they shoot at me, their proto guns do nothing to my milita tank instead of my milita guns doing nothing to their proto suits.
Honestly, if people played with a bit of honor instead what they do now, i would feel bad using a tank, i really would. But these people go around crushing new players without ever giving a damn. So why should I? If a 6 on 1 fight is what they call fair, then a tank vs infantry is also fair.
When these proto squads give me a fair fight, ill give them a fair fight. |
