I've played 46 Domination games in the last two days (I kept track), and all of the matches--I do mean "ALL"--were one-sided proto stomps. What gives? Do players actually enjoy running Caldari Scouts and Heavies that much?

Is it fun to camp the only opposing spawn uplink with 6+ Heavies and various shotgun Scouts? Are they competing to see who can get the best record or something? What about redlining? Is bombarding the enemy redline with orbitals that satisfying?

What are these players trying to achieve? Why are they trying so hard to win? It's understanable if the opposing team had an equally skilled set of players or squads, but no. These stompers want to give their all against groups of NPC corp randoms and solo players.

I don't get it.

I switched to the European servers today knowing that I would no longer have to face Duna2002. After a few games of ambush, I switched back to the american servers. I'd rather face nyan chan alone than 3-4 members of the rainbow effect - this is proto stomping at its finest ladies and gentlemen, move along, nothing left to see here.

Obviously I could use the countless proton weapons and dropsuits I have in stock, but this is beside the point.

As far as I know we were never more than 4 Rainbows at any given time, I don't even have proto anything yet, dual basic scramblers and a lvl 3 non racial scout suit, still I got several QQ protostomping mails.... Its really sad that so many blame the equipment of others rather than your own lack of co-ordiantion and gungame as a prime reason for us (well not me) going 30-1.... Equipment benefits helps, but it doesn't explain such a huge difference in result. "I would be just as good as them if I could only be bothered to use my shiny stuff...." STFU Taz and Richie was using enhanced gear almost all the time... FFS, I can hardly go positive, that doesn't mean that I'll do like so many others in this game, hide in a 1500 HP fatsuit, camp on a roof or indeed in the redline. Keep playing like sheep and none of you will ever get any good.... Try being new and go up againt an 8 man group in KZ4, believe me, its a lot harder than in Dust. Or indeed, go up against a good MAG clan back in the days and You'd hardly even get to the redline...
