I am so happy this thread is still going on, lol, join the movement so they don't only talk about molden heath taken by the magnificent top 50 players :) let your grenade shout louder till FanFest !!!
Man I just do what I gotta do. This game is a f2p shooter with ~2500 active players. Most tryhards don't bother since the game is casual oriented. Skill points give clear advantages and are capped to prevent QQ from casuals which in reality just rewards beta players since newcomers can never catch up and be competitive. From glitchy untested patches thrown out live to nonsense nerfhammers, the devs clearly aren't amongst the ~2500 players and the casuals don't hang around much because it throws them in with the big dogs to be a chew toy after a couple matches in the battle academy. CCP couldn't decide who this should be marketed towards so they made a mixed bag of fail.
If you are playing this game in a competitive fashion, boy I've got a ton of Facebook games you would really enjoy. If you are playing this game to have fun, you won't care about Titan mode...er I mean Skirmish for districts. Just do what you want to do who cares what fake currency they are accumulating over there. If they run proto gear let them, it just means they are objectively bad if they need more SP AND better gear to be able to win against random pubbies. I guarantee you if they rolled new characters they would be in the same boat as everyone else only a little more soft around the edges. Sure they can own the battle academy like any other person that's played this for a week but they will hit that brick wall too outside the battle academy. It's like playing Easy on a game instead of Hard, which player do you think will be objectively better at the end?
This game suffers from WoW syndrome. If you continue to grind for gear to get to the more challenging parts that will get you more gear you will realize you sucked all the fun out of the game and instead became a crack addict. As it stands Proto gear is for PCs and PCs are for funding proto gear. Just get out of the rat race and decide if this game has any merit otherwise.
So to wrap it up don't suicide spam unless that's fun to you. If you can't stand the proto stomps just don't play the game, everyone but DNS not playing the game will send a larger message then spamming the kill feed with suicides. A message that would say well I guess we MAGed it and lead to a close of servers. If your like me though and still enjoy the game sometimes if I just aim to have fun, then do that. Remember, this game is about as competitive as Mafia Wars or (Insert Generic Facebook time/money social media game.)
