How do you say"the vets plundered the new player base" we all start at zero just like everyone else. And a large population of vets have jobs (yes jobs) and didn't play every hour of the day. It was hard as he'll for me to cap out every week. CCP has giving plenty of opprotunities for new players to get into proto gear. But the devs can't hold your hand while spec'ing. For Christ sake spec one weapon one suit and your cores and with 12+ mil you to can proto stomp.
And before you say "well you made all your isk in PC" bullsh!t. I was always on the boarder line of broke. Untill era started paying large contracts. And I had to earn a spot it wasn't handed to me.
I'm happy for the new players finally getting some work done but **** had you used your heads to begin with you wouldn't be QQ about getting redlined by 1 proto squad.

What if I told you, most vets can destroy you with STD gear only?

Lol since when do you vet players like competition? i cant even count the amount of times Ive been on a team full of new players, and we get redlined by a proto squad of players from the Teamplayers corp. Calling in orbitals behind the redline and all.

If anything, there has been more balanced games since alot of these vets who made this game their entire life have left. Instead of it just being squads of PC funded protostompers, now you sometimes get games where its mostly casuals instead of tryhards.

For most of my time in Dust though, this has been the result of most games: [IMG]http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad293/lavalois09/20149_zps674bb60c.jpg]image

So I kind of hope that alot of these vet players who feel the need to get in squads and proto stomp milita fits decide to not go to legion. Hopefully they take their game breaking ways to another game. All im saying is if they let a playerbase develop, Dust might have been profitable, and the situation today would be different. If these veterans players were an asset instead of a burden, CCP would be trying to keep them instead of opening the door and saying good bye.

I don't think you understand what the competition is in redlined matches; I know when I'm doing the redlining in a full squad (proto or otherwise) at the end of the match the e-peen wagging isn't about the fact that we beat a team of randoms, but that I got more kills than you doing it.

Competition =/= with the other team.

Why should vets operate with a smaller margin of error?

If I were using a Gallente Frontline suit (my main is Gal Q.Q) I'd stack it with proto modules. I'd still have 7-800 EHP.
Why? Because I've invested the SP. Because I can.

Why would I gimp my fittings so you can feel good about yourself?
