Pubs are a joke because there is no incentive to win. The ISK payout is more or less the same either way and you get your SP regardless. FW is a step between pubs and PC imho. It makes winning/losing more relevant and offers the friendly fire dynamic to make it a bit more tactical than pubs. Also it's where you go for AUR type gear without paying the AUR (aka lower level requirements on gear).

My main issue with it is that it takes way too long but me and my corp mates enjoy the matches when we get in and winning a match is the best feeling cause you know you're making progress.

These are both true statements, good and bad. It's more or less intended to be a higher quality of battle without the investment needed for PC. I take it from the OP's post that it was likely either Caldari or Amarr FW.

I feel your pain. Despite my best efforts, I think I am stuck at level 4, almost 5 standings and people like the PIE core group, better players than I who are even more dedicated to the Empire's cause are not much higher.

(Although in Aero Yassavi's case it's more because he TK's so much. It's like a sickness.

Forever ETC 703rd Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 353	Posted - 2014.04.21 17:18:00 - [1] - Quote What is the Role of FW? Is it meant for New Players or for those who don't do PC. In FW I usually fight players Advance and up(and usually kick with STD Suit and ADV Weapons), but of course there's the odd militia noobs. In rare matches you can be put in a team with a bunch of noobs and the next it's a competitive match(both sides running ADV and up). I don't do PC because I haven't earned Proto, so I resort to FW. So what is the role of FW? P.S I did FW today and came in with our MCC having Quarter Armor. I got 8th place with 1 death and 50 WP, let that sink in for a moment. Well, time to go Commando. Fill the Ranks at 703rd. Love,Hate, and everything in between.- ETC 2013 THIS IS AMARR!!!

(Although in Aero Yassavi's case it's more because he TK's so much. It's like a sickness. ) Yes I do Amarr FW, my side usually wins but when we lose it's because of noobs. I usually stick to defending the Home base to prevent redlining or an outside point. I rely on the rest of the team to push the center while I draw attention to the outside. But if my team can't push I become outnumbered. (You'd be surprised how well I defend outside points against protos with my STD Commando) Well, time to go Commando. Fill the Ranks at 703rd.

Organization is critical for the Imperial Guard's Success! (Not this week though, the wait times are too long. Normally I don't care if I cap or not, but gotta grind out that 3x SP, my scan/precision core skills should finally be maxed out by the end of the week!) Will join channel once the event is over. My main roles are solo defending outside objectives or driving a LAV with preferably a Logi and Scout in it. Well, time to go Commando. Fill the Ranks at 703rd.
