DUST Search - DNSBlack and the Dirt Nap League: Decide For Yourself

I've been so busy at work so I haven't had a chance to listen to the pod cast. I do have the following to say about PFC and the Dirt Nap League:

I'll be honest in that I think that PFC was a good system despite its flaws. That's why I'm still paying the PFC council ISK weekly out of passive ISK generated by Oddelulf. Planetary Conquest is broken and the progression form Pubs to PC is broken as well and I think PFC could have filled a niche in that progression. No, I don't think every player should be coddled, but at the same time new corps don't deserve to be draped in raw meat and then thrown into a cage full of lions with only a toothpick as a weapon.

Right now though with the current 100% Molden Heath mentality PFC can't exist. I do think that the Dirt Nap League could be something completely unique in gaming and something worthwhile to really explore. I do however understand it has some major political hurdles before it that will be very difficult to overcome. If it doesn't work it doesn't work. Just like PFC at least something was tried to make the game more entertaining.

I do think the DNL is the best bet to continue to provide players content in the current Planetary Conquest environment unless something gives and CCP begins to address some of the glaring and lingering issues in Planetary Conquest 1.0. I do think that 98% control has caught the attention of CCP and helped to start the gears of change spinning, and if we end up with the system being repaired some and the Dirt Nap League is no longer possible or doesn't make sense so be it. At least we were able to demonstrate how broken the system is and foster the momentum needed to address issues such as passive ISK and clone pack size.

This is not Counter Strike or Quake Live. 5 vs 5 in Skirmish? Not a good idea. It doesnt sound like he thought this through really. Also, why should the players run these kind of things? CCP should be pushing for it.

You think everyone not in DNS is the minority. God I can't believe I'm going to say "we are the 99% and you are the 1% who controls the districts/wealth." I rep over 2,000 players, believe me, it's not just WTF saying **** you, it's a lot more. CCP ROUGE, be the messiah that the CPM0 prophesized. 2000 people? That's sad Sorry, who are you?

Did some random guy really have to come to dust and set up 5 vs 5 tournaments in skirmish to prove this? You need to stop acting like clowns. BTW Kain, push CCP to fix the bonus bug. It has existed in the game since Uprising 1.0: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=156060&find=unread HTFU Gë£ Live with CCP´s mistakes.
