Some people will say, well that's how the game was designed. Or they don't care about the amount of new players dust gets, but I bet money CCP cares about getting new players to stick around, but they take advice from vets who have never been on the other side.

They started on a level playing field and worked there way up, side by side and now there at the top of the food chain. I'm not mad at them, there just playing the game how it was designed, but if CCP want's this game to succeed, they will have to make a match making system.

I started playing this game about 6 mounts ago, and am now around 15 million lifetime skill points, so I know what its like to have to climb that ladder. It's very very difficult and takes a long time. Me I like a challenge, so I endured and pushed forward, even though I got my a*s kicked a lot those first few months and now it was worth it, but must people play a few matches and say this is crazy.

and there right, being honest about it, cause they will just go play a different game where they don't get massickered every game. But that's the way the vets like it, so CCP for some reason doesn't change it. But if they wont this game to move forward, they must put in place a match making system of some kind.

Do you think vets would stick around if you made a few of them start over as new players and play with 90% proto players, HELL NO, they would put down the controller and say (this game needs some sort of match making system) or they just wouldn't play, just like new players, but they would never admit that because that would never happen and most of them really don't care if this game succeeds or not.

CCP- you have to do something. I really love this game and want it to succeed but if you don't do something and do it fast, its gonna fail. Nobody should have to go through all the BS just to have fun on a game, and they wont.

your welcome

The game is broken and unbalanced, especially to new players. It was a grand concept, be something more than an everyday FPS. CCP failed at this though, its just like any other FPS for a new player. When my first battle was a proto stomp i should have stopped there, but i figured in a few mil i might come up with something. Yeah, there is no point in trying. The bad match making is somewhat to blame, but all the vets and proto stompers are the real reason this game is dying. you can only die so much before you give up. The blame lays with CCP and the **** poor(I can never lose) proto stompers. You see!!! And this will only continue, and that's why I fell something needs to be done.

If I run solo in proto, I can go 20 and 0 easy, but I do this in a dropsuit, not in a tank or ADS. Just saying that you can play this game either way, but I do understand what your saying though.
