MINA Longstrike 958	Posted - 2014.07.03 22:03:00 - [31] - Quote Sgt Kirk wrote: (and not because it may benefit me) If this event is to honor DUST players by giving them a weapon named after them and possibly in Legion (yeah right) at least name some after the people that are actually involved in someway with the community. I dont know about you but I think it discouraging to have officer weapon named after some no-life that abused broken mechanics to get that weapon. I'd much rather use a, "Contra's B-24/J Shotgun" over "random kid that is on summer break's shotgun" . Just saying, if this event was in someway to honor DUST veterans there is a better way. If not, then I retract what I've said No, because that turns the event into a popularity contest, rather than one of skill. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

He was the first person to really become a pro with it and show what kinds of things are possible (popularizing it in the process), which makes it even more deserving of his name. There are better PLC users out there than Ghaz though, do they not deserve the chance at an officer weapon simply because they don't make youtube videos, even though they are better than the "best"? Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Zelda Harkinian Isuuaya Tactical Caldari State 24	Posted - 2014.07.03 22:16:00 - [34] - Quote The hard thing though, is we don't have a huuuuge site of statistics to see who really is the best at a certain weapon. So while I think (insert name here) is the best at using a Shotgun, I can't say with certainty that she/he really IS the best. This is true of everyone that has been mentioned of deserving a weapon named after them. That's why I think the officer weapon event is ok as it is. But there are a few names that I keep seeing pop up. I consider them legendary community figures. They've never given up on the game, and they continue to make the forums alive. I think they should be rewarded in some way too. Hence the idea to have their names on unique suits you can scavenge. Especially since some of the "greatest" players for certain weapons have already left dust.

Personally I would have liked to see CCP select 6 candidates, the open up another 6 spots for random selection. Players sign up to their weapon choices and have the opportunity to be randomly selected into a series of elimination matches to decide who the winner was. No proto stomping weekends for a month, random chance to get in for players to challenge some of the best. Etc. *"I watched you. From candle to a torch you grew.

(o_O) btw, who is Thale? What did he do that is so great? True enough. But even I'd recognise Arkena, Sgt Kirk, and several others as they "Best/Premiere/ Most dedicated Gallenteans" in the game. Thats pretty much indisputable.....when most of the community couldn't even tell me who the President of the Federation is..... *"I watched you. From candle to a torch you grew.

There should be a tourney, statistics for a month....then the top players for each weapons get invites to special matches where they run against each other but only kills with said weapons count for a specific number of matches.. even voting for the so called legends to be auto placed in the brackets would work so nobody is left out. Observe the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.

No one deserves the ScR more that Tiberius or Lea, maybe Arkena if I am feeling generous. No one deserves the Laser more that Mortedeamor or Aero No one deserves the Plasma Cannon more than Gazbaran Swarms? Pretty sure Atiim and Baal Omniscent, and ratamaq doc were wrecking with those while everyone else was using forges. Being able to commit 72 hours to an event does not and should not make you worthy of entitlement in the game because those player committed months to their weapons. Not about being the best at something. You may not agree but it is the fairest way to run the contest, obviously those who win had the skill to compete even if they weren't well known forum users. The reward goes to people who clip lay the game, not to those who complain that their forum/YouTube cred should earn them a weapon. You got your playing card let others get their guns.
