Here is one you might not have anticipated...

"I care very little for the opinions of the poors so i don't have to justify anything to you and i will continue to stomp."

Really? Protostomping? Where is protostomping happening? The frequency is not as great as it used to be. Why? Because most of the "elite" players and "elite" corporations who protostomped has left after hearing the Legion announcement at FanFest.

Now that's left in pubs are clueless blueberries who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. I've been in a squad of 6 and we're the only guys with crazy WPs and doing anything on the field.

So I don't know what you're experiencing. I see pubs are even in a much more worse state and PC (where prototypes are abundant) is the only form of real competition.

There is no such thing as protostomping in pubs or poor matchmaking. Just poor players. Not trying to be mean or ignorant, its just what I see.

This is Michael Arck. I am well known for expressing my opinion whether you like it or not. No, I'm not the guy who says what everybody else says just to be in some cool kids club or to be accepted. What I say, I believe in and I live by. If you think it's bullshit because it doesn't agree with your opinion, oh well.

The truth of the matter is, public matches aren't competitive. Reason why folks leave pub matches to go to PC and get crushed, becoming disheartened about playing in PC. Yes, you can have some good games in pubs but to measure your skill according to pubs really doesn't amount to much.

The truth of the matter is protostomping does not, I repeat, does not happen as often as implied by those whom feel otherwise. There are people who will just side with anything negative just to continue spouting negative energy.

Protostomping was mainly committed by players who often PC. With a bankroll to support and after months of working hard to achieve level 5 in a dropsuit, these players would use the same PC tactics in pubs. Hence the protostomping.

Instead of working and coordinating with teammates, disorganized blues got protostomped into oblivion.

But back to the point...

Protostomping hardly ever happens in pubs like it did before. I've been playing Dust 514 for about two years now. I play a string a matches in one sitting.

I'm curious to know if you know what a prototype is because you just might be getting stomped by ADV suits and calling it protostomping.

You can ask seasoned players (and I would be surprised if they say otherwise) if protostomping happens often in pubs and the reply would be no, compared to how prevalent it was before. You couldn't breathe back then without protos on your neck with a tanks hammering the nail in the coffin.

It's so easy nowadays to destroy in pubs because honestly, plenty of players lack skill. That's not being mean or offensive, that's just the truth. Why I look at guys weird when they want to boast about how they got 40 kills and only 3 deaths. You're playing in pubs where clueless blueberries run rampant.

Since my question wasn't answered, let me ask this again.

In the last 10 games anybody has played, how many times were you "protostomped"?

Leave it to Viktor to be the number one douche amongst all the proto stompers. And for that, I salute you.

Ad hominem is such a wonderful staple of forum warfare.
"I can't present a valid observation or counterpoint, clearly the other side is an idiot."

Ahh yes... I remember you. I would be impressed if those high KDR's were real fighting.... You used RE to get those numbers. Try to fight with a gun... Your style is Cheap and cowardly at best.

Your team had poor players.

LOL - go and play KZ4 for a week and come up in your noob gear vs a highly experienced and well equipped squad of 8 in a 12 vs 12 game...

Yes its hard, you get raped, still though, a decent player like myself have about a 0.8 KDR playing mostly alone (amd I do play support with less HP and weaker guns, and without the kill-giving abilities...) for a week. In Dust though, its about actaually a 1.6 KDR during the same circumstanses. There are so many cheap ways to success in Dust that Vet stomping is actually, against popular beliefs, not as bad as in many other games. You should've tried and go against a squad of my clan in MAG at low level and the experience would be much thougher than in Dust, most likely you wouldn't even get across the redline....

Say whatever you want, nothing any of you say will negate the fact that the average playerbase in Dust is the least skilled playerbase I've ever come across in any game ever. Is it the PC master race giving it a go? Is it the EVEtards? Is it the wast numbers of noob gamers being drawned because its a free to play? I honestly don't know.

KingBabar's hot tip for getting good at Dust:

- Go in there and fight, stop camping on roofs, pipes, in tanks, fatsuits or at the redline. You don't get any better by playing like a bltch!

DUDE!! You wrote a Dear John letter about you leaving and you're still here! What in the blue blazers?!

Stacking + proto setups with characters having well over 24+million SP = Dust514 maintain player retention for new players as well as decrease the amount of time a player will continue player.

This basically means the game is designed essentially to run itself into a financially obsolete in under 2 years which is pretty grim perspective as it relied more on microtransactions than anything else to keep itself alive. So if anything, stack and stomp away and that's only further prove how CCP is utterly incompetent with gaming designs and schemes for FPS and how Dust514's success was never about platform but how they can't even design a game that maintains a degree of relevancy for at least 2 years.

I'm not your research but by all means visit the EvE end of the forums about Dust and Legion, then head to other forums from Planetside to even Killzone and Halo. This game is laughing stock of anything FPS based and it's reputation for being horribly bad begins with how players interact with the game in the first month. And yea because protostomping with player stacking directly contributes to this, it's been a rallying call of why Dust continues to fail. For the record just came out of a stacked player battle and I came out 8:1. Second highest was 3:16. The other side was 28:1, 20:1, 16:1. They also had 8 ppl in their corp. I know a stomp when I see it and it takes me more than 3 shots to take you out on a shotgun from upclose.

So by all means, play the world's saddest song on the world's tiniest violin for those subject to protostomping, I'll be playing the same song when Dust 514 gets upended because they can't do anything about sh!t like this.

well if decide to play another FPS your going to run into the same issue of players who grinded longer are going to have scopes, grips, barrel attachments, ammo, etc. you dont have access to. it's not unique to DUST. if you want a fair FPS with no equipment unlocks there's always battlefield 1943 for like $15 on PSN store.

it's not the older players fault for using stuff he grinded for it's CCP's bad for not providing us casual matches that restrict higher level gear

Currently I don't have a "gaming community to be a part of", besides our Clan forums and my close friends.

Anyways, don't mind why I'm here (not much at all these days) and rather focus on what I have to say....

seriously like isnt it sad that the only reason were still in dust is because there isnt anything better atm..what has the gaming industry come to. sighs and king babar is right dust has a much lower than average fps playerbase..wanna know how i know? because im not an fps player before dust..i played a few but so wasnt my forte...and i have been stomping in dust for 2 years...so either
1 the game requires no skill or
2 the average player requires no skill to decimate

side note sometimes i feel like im facing stoned 4 years olds when i play this game
seriously how many ways are there to insta pop a suit of any lvl?

re's forge to the face...? rail turret round 1 shot...? sniping is easier in dust than any game i have ever played (how do i know because ima terrible sniper and i can snipe in dust)

omg qq 3x maddies..(morte looks at the rail tank that can1- 2 shot it)
sobs sobs qq tank in general( glances at the jihad jeep)
sobs sobs 6 nyain san..(looks as dragonfly bpo fit with stnd re's that one shot proto suits cost 1500isk)
sobs sobs python...(looks at cheapo armor dropship with death touch vs shield durpships)

like seriously ccp gives out these things i like to call nub crutches to make this game with built in aimbot...and simplistic physics even easier and still waaa qq sobs...wtf
