Title. Dust 514 is losing its player database because lots of noobs are being put up with pros. The tutorial sucks and they need to have at least 30 games in battle academy but don't allow them to buy more than one skill because some people buy HMGs in battle academy. Its driving new players away. Every day Dust 514 loses about 20 players and gains 8. Why not help the new players play some don't even know how to move because they are new to shooting games. Please DEVS. Protostomping bastards are unfair and have an advantage against people who don't so if you have more protostompers on a team its guaranteed victory or if there are more people of higher tiered gear.

Welcome to the Dust 514 forums. You appear to be new here.

What you discuss is commonly known as "protostomping" and has been debated for at least a year. If you use the search function helpfully provided at the top of your screen you will quickly find that this is not new information.

Innumerable appeals to both CCP and the players in question has resulted in exactly zero progress being made, except in that many of the elite players have left in the past 2 months. So, the situation, believe it or not, is actually better than it was in the not too distant past.

It is the result of a broken economy flooded with passive ISK from Planetary Conquest, a small player base, a dearth of game modes, and of course a total lack of matchmaking of any kind.

TL; DR: This is a known issue. It is apparently unfixable in Dust's current state. Perhaps we can interest you in waiting for EVE: Legion, coming maybe to a PC near you. Until then your only option is, in the spirit of New Eden, to HTFU. Or quit the game. Either is a wise decision.

Thank you for visiting the Dust 514 forums.
