Yes there are a lot of problems with PC at the moment, but if you ask anyone who has played with a full 16 of friends/corpmates and had to work together to win a match their is no better dust experience.
Squads working together are fun but a whole group of 16 calling out locations renfrcing each other at the different points, coordinating tank movements with drop ship pilots while attainting high ground. Keeping a close eye on the MCC ticks watching the clone count dwindle into unsafe numbers for a battle to be decided by one tick on the MCC by either side, not knowing who won until that victory screen comes up!
If any of you have not made a serious effort to get involved in these competitive battles you are really missing out on a great side of dust.
As soon as the blue donut comes to an end I'm pretty sure their will be places were equal corps can battler against each other.
Spend this time building your core team and make some alliances with other corps you find along the way. Your time is coming
Are not YOU guys the glue that holds the blue donut? The donut glaze?

I was going to be in a PC battle. My ceo convinced me it was going to be awesome and whatever. So I donated about 40 million so we could start. We were supposed to plan a day when the whole corp could participate but he just used it as fast as he could.
The battle took place while I was in class and he was the only one who participated because he didn't tell anyone the date. I never got my isk back. I quit the corp. And I never bothered to try PC again.

I did maybe three matches under BurgezzETF's banner when PC first launched, until I switched corporations. I've been invited as a ringer a couple times, bu I'm not really an active PC participant.
Not that I'd want to be anyway.

Same as many here. Never been in one. Was planning on it. But with the blue donut, I better just wait til PC 2.0. Because this version is just a waste of ISK and time to try to get into. |

I've played many many more than 5 but I stopped because losing protos over and over to a completely unplayably laggy mode made me stop playing it. Otherwise is great, you get a real good feeling after winning, but the ******* lag makes it completely unenjoyable for everyone. Most of nyain still does it though, the japanese are masochists I guess.
Your post is making me facepalm very hard right now.

It is funny that you are calling PC Dust's competitive side when it has been so broken since release that it has been anything but competitive.

I have never played it and will not play it so long as it remains nothing more than an epeen feature. Make it connect with EVE PI in a serious way and cut out the epeen, leaderboard bragging rights aspect then I'll play it. Maybe. I don't think I'll be able to take this game that seriously for a long time if ever. It's just getting more laughable.
Lol, "competitive".

Played more than 5
It's truly heartbreaking seeing so many miss out, I won't add much more to this since Taste already nailed it with his post. Yes PC can be very frustrating often times, but nothing beats deploying with 16 other players where you recognize each and every one of them by voice all fighting together against equally amazing players, I fight nothing but the best this game has to offer and it is truly an amazing experience.
I can't stand Pub games they're too monotonous; redline this, redline that. PC is what keeps me playing Dust.
Train yourself mentally and physically, spend your SP well and specialize, join a good corporation. I promise your perception of Dust will drastically change.

I stick purely to pubs and FW. PC strikes me as very reminiscent of large fleet ops in EvE, where it is not uncommon for your FC to be screaming at you through his mic because you didn't switch to the new primary target immediately. Frankly, I couldn't give a damn about that side of the competitive game thanks to the prevalence of that kind of attitude. I play to unwind, no more, no less.
Still, I'll look at PC2.0 and if my corp takes a shining to it I'll lend them my efforts.

Once when i was a faithful Logi Bro for Knights of the Round.
It was chaos but i ended up 2nd on the tables.
After that i thought its best for me to get better skills before delving into that again. 
Now i'm a dirty scumbag scout and almost PC ready

A poll would have been easier.
Personally I think I've been in maybe a total of 10-15, for at least 7 different corps.
Of which at least 10 of those matches have had such a low frame rate that it was impossible for me to even play the game properly.
Only 1 did I ever play that didn't have any sort of lag/frame rate issue whatsoever
at least 5 have been where the enemy team was exploting a glitch
at least 3 had practically the entire team using the same fittings or weapons
And 2 of them...right when PC was first released...were the most strategic, organized, frantic, amazing matches I've ever played in Dust.
It's sad that the game mode is so broken that in order to prevent lag you have to turn off all comms or use an outside communication method. It's also sad that most players would rather exploit, cheat, use FOTMs, and spam equipment, rather than play strategically.
Maybe I've never played an "elite" PC match where both teams are using the exact same unfair cheap tactics and it all comes down to who can be the cheapest, and who can spam the most...but to me, PC will and always will be a great idea, but a completely broken game mode.

None for me. Prior to it being (totally) broken my work schedule did not exactly jibe with the whole timer concept. Could never make it the few times I got asked by various alliance people.

I played a few and there wasn't a job for me to do, PC is just as boring as being in a group of solo new players and getting rolled by a Q-synced proto squad. Bring ULs and the most OP weapon on the most OP suit or GTFO. Not fun to me, there was no meta because there was only the most OP setup or don't play. It may have changed by now but I have no interest in doing it, next month will be a year since I played a PC and I don't see me getting into it because it is not any fun to me.

Please say if you are an active pc player or have played more than 5 games of pc or if you have never played a game.
I have played two planetary conquest matches...ever. And this was very early in the system's release.
There, you have my data for your inquiry.
Now,
1) what makes you believe that PC is "DUST's competitive side"?
That's a silly thing to call a broken system of handing in game currency at economy crushing rates to player groups that have enough coordination to lock up the broken system.
So of by " competive side " you mean DUST's game mode that is broken and easily leveraged by corporations who want to further break the game, yah - I have not played that much. |

I've only played 3 PC matches if you're still counting.
I've been here since May 2013. But, it's my own fault for not staying in any corp long enough.
