I was invited to a pc against a certain big name corporation with many resources and influence. In the warbarge the player who invited me informed me that it was a "distraction match" then the team dropped down to 4 players.
Im nobody's ******* cannon fodder.
Im not here to stroke some pimple faced crumb covered greasy haired computer geek's epeen.
Many of the people in this community should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for the state they put this game in.
You want to blame CCP, but CCP did not proto stomp every new player to this game for over a year.
CCP did not exploit bugs and game mechanics then try to excuse themselves by saying "win by any means possible even cheating"
CCP did not farm multiple billions upon multiple billions of ISK from PC.
Legion is most likely a direct result of this game's subpar numbers, which are a result of a completely egotistical, self-entitled, utterly broken portion of this community.
Since I've come back after being gone for six months, I have been boosted on, told to "stand in front and soak up bullets" while not repping my 900 armor, but shooting back scoring kills at my expense. Then when I didn't cooperate I got booted from squad (lmmfao) now this PC "distraction match".
People need to grow up.
EDIT: Oh and anyone who has the balls to speak out against this is Ostracized and blacklisted.
I wholeheartedly agree with you about the lack of competition in this game--via protostomping--and how an elite, veteran subset of the population does everything in their power to maintain this imbalance, but we need to blame CCP where blame is due.
CCP imposed a "skill" system whose very nature guarantees that new players will be at a sever disadvantage for quite a while, and their version of pay-to-win is really more like pay-to-lose-less-sooner.
CCP never improved the NPE.
CCP was aware of the PC ISK farming for many months and waited an arbitrary amount of time to address the issue. They certainly had metrics to determine the main alliances/corps/players represented in PC, along with the effect these players were having in pubs.
CCP insisted on a snail's pace development cycle, using the Dust community's contributions to create a new IP, instead of actively and consistently engaging their community day-to-day to improve Dust and see it through its "10 year plan", versus making big promises and talking themselves up at marketing events (eg, Fan Fest and E3).
CCP is as backwards in their approach to developing Dust as the PC stompers are to actually playing the game. |

Pathetic.
You can try to colour it any way you want to, but the fact is, exploiting glitches and poorly designed game mechanics is not meta gaming, it is cheating plain and simple. See I can use bold and underline too.
I think we're you're loosing me is the fact that the "glitches and poorly designed game mechanics" are the fault of CCP. Hence, CCP is responsible for facilitating cheating via their laziness or, at best, inability to get the job done.
So, to deny their central, key role in the fizzling out of Dust is willful ignorance.
It's like saying the federal government had nothing to do with the economy collapsing in 2008. Sure, they write the rules and are supposed to enforce them, but let's not hold them accountable when bankers sh!t all over everybody by exploiting loopholes in said rules. Heaven forbid we expect the designers of the system to, you know, design it better.  |

Heaven forbid we expect the designers of the system to, you know, design it better. I never said CCP wasn't at fault for designing a fallible game. I simply stated that the players had a choice to exploit the flawed design when they could have chosen not to. Your anecdote is interesting, but doesn't necessarily apply. In the case of Politicians/Bankers: In the U.S., because anyone is able to submit a bill to congress, The banksters fund think tanks, which create these bills. Then the banksters fund the special interest groups which lobby our legislatures to sign these bills into law which benefit them. This would be equivalent to the smallest, wealthies portion of the playerbase having control over the development of DUST, with CCP simply there to place their stamp of approval on whatever lands on their desk, maybe tossing the idea around the office beforehand just to make it look legit.
XD What are you smoking and where's your dispensary?!?!
"Anyone is able to submit a bill to congress" [sic] ROFLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Yeah, for sure, that's why you see so many people doing it. Because anyone can (ie, this isn't something that requires resources or connections) and it's hella effective anyway.
Your example is spot-on: the smallest, wealthiest portions of the playerbase are chummy with CCP. The CPM? Flunky lobbyists. DNS and similar, with connections to EVE powerblocks that themselves are in bed with CCP? The same.
I feel like this clip pretty much sums up the entire situation. I'll let you decide which characters correspond to which sides of this debate. |
