You sound like one of those economist who spoke during the 80's about tying the world's economy into one world economy ," No let's not let people decide for themselves when we can do it for them , we know better than they do anyway ... what " they " want ."

Wonder how that's going now for those who had jobs and now don't because the company that they worked for took the plant that provided for their town or city and placed it somewhere else so they can turn a larger profit and flood the economy with crappy , cheep goods for less pay and more labor .

That's how Dust will be with tiericide .

Open question for anyone who opposes a deeply unlevel playing field: why do you think it's bad?

Edit: Had to add this quote from Kovinis Sparagas in another thread:

"If you just download this game from store not knowing anything about it - you will delete it in10 minutes.
Because this isn't your ordinary Call of Battlefield. New Eden will welcome him, and then kick directly in his nuts and spit on him with proto-stomping and HAV, and when after 10 deaths will show the bill, because you have to pay money (ISK) every time you die.

And then he will be lying defenceless on the ground with his own fluids from his pants all around him, from fear - when the game will ask him:
- Want to be like them? Then you have to work your way up son, because no one is helping you here. Your on your own kid.

After this conversation 90% of them will delete this game as fast as they can.
Other 10% are real men.


In other words - only we can advertise this game to our friends, and help them to become real men, like we are."

I dunno, I've been fighting in nullsec since 2005. I'm thinking i grok it.

What you say is true re match structure.

It's your solution i disagree with: My preferred playing field is strongly imbalanced, although it seems that smart, tough new players can handle things just as they are and some even say DUST isn't hard at all.

Your solution is tilted more towards fairness.
