I have proto forges, and proto REs. Some situations, the forge is better, others RE's and I'm not even talking about the jeep

What's the difference if I use a jeep or I run up behind you (cloaked or not, doesn't matter) jump on your hood, toss out 4 REs and then run away laughing in anticipation of your pending earth shattering kaboom? Nothing, except in my situation, my clone is likely still alive and you're dead. With the Jeep, at least we're both dead.

I fly ADS, I drive tanks, I proto forge vehicles, I toss out proxies and REs and kill indiscriminately. I proto logi. There is no tactic beneath me in order to win the battle in any way necessary. You would rather kill differences because you don't like something.

Why should your opinions effect other peoples play style?

It should be about skill level. If someone's not skilled enough to use AV to take me out, why should they have such a cheap tactic that grants an insta-kill?

There's no difference to me running up and putting REs on you or running REs into you with a jeep except in one situation, I actually get to live. edit: Pssst. I don't live driving the jeep

The guy who is doing it dies aswell so man up. Maybe you should get a tank with 3 turrets instead of just 1. 6 eyes see more then 2 except if you are gallente then you got 4. Then riddle me this: if it takes two people (driver and gunner) to kill a threat, then why can one person kill a tank? I can solo a tank with a pro forge gun, should I be nerfed too? Also, did you really complain that a forge gun can deplete you shields with 4 shots? not kill you, DEPLETE YOUR SHIELDS? Good God man, grow a pair.

Wow, for a second there, I though we had switched subjects to militia tanks I'll tell you what, get CCP to make it so a full batch of proxies kills a tank (hardened or not) and I'll consider your request valid for the removal of jihad jeeps. I won't agree with it, but I'll concede.

Dust is supposed to be an open -sand box shooter so I love it when I see things that are a result of players thinking outside the box. Suicide Jeeps, Logis with Cloaks, a sentinal hopped up on myofibrils, Dropships as makeshift barricades. Also, we're clones. our lives are expendable, so a suicide jeep seems very fitting, both gameplay-wise and lore-wise... They're practically free, and exceedingly difficult to counter. This is the inherent problem with them. I'm not so sure, I've been blown up many a time (back in the day) when driving Jihad. It only takes one bullet hitting any of the 4-6 REs on your truck to turn you into a paint smear.
