Because people who AFK farmed and locked their districts for months in PC truly are the definition of good.

Sshhhh, you'll hurt their ego's. Everyone knows that stompers come to this game to boost their ego since in a truly competitive environment, they just can't compete. Just let them have their fun.

yet both of you will get sh*t on if you played one PC. oh wait DUST fiend do you even play dust anymore? why are you here? have you even been in a relevant PC team you scrub?

"Relevant PC team"

You warm my heart.

As if anyone in this game is relevant. It's a niche shooter with a non competitive scene that's taken seriously only by the try hards who make up the "top", of which most abuse mechanics to remain relevant. This game has an exceptionally tiny pool of truly talented FPS players, of which many of that tiny pool have already moved on.

And no, I'm not one of those "truly talented FPS players", never have been. I just make my Incubus do things that would make your mother wet.

I'm here specifically to rustle your jimmies.

By that logic, they also do not need big wallets, because they will not lose ISK by doing so...therefore, they will not win the event because of their big ISK wallets, if they have them, from doing PC or otherwise.

That being said, outside of this event I usually didn't use proto except in PC. I wouldn't have even had to be a PC player to have enough ISK to participate, as my advanced setups made me ISK positive enough to have millions saved up. PC funds helped, but you need not be a PC player or even ISK positive to be a contender. You just need to have managed your money well beforehand. CPM1 Candidate Youtube

By that logic, they also do not need big wallets, because they will not lose ISK by doing so...therefore, they will not win the event because of their big ISK wallets, if they have them, from doing PC or otherwise. You are greatly discounting how influential isk can be in what constitutes someone's "best" suit. The best suit I can personally fit is ~300k. If I have 20mil isk on hand (because maybe I like vehicles alot but don't do it well, so don't pile up isk for a rainy day since I can get it outside vehicles) I can run this suit for awhile, but losing 1 suit causes me to go isk negative, and a 15-1 match is hardly doing poorly (and likely able to be in the running). I believe this character would fall in your definition of a "Bad" player, since any # kills and 1 death in this suit is technically isk negative since most matches will be around or under 300k. There is an occasional match where you get 400k+, but averaged out it will fall to less than 300k. Now assume I have 1 bilion isk. How many times can I come back in with that suit before I even consider it being an issue (the answer is more than there is time in a weekend, even playing 24/7). Therefore no matter how hard I try, I gotta go 2 games with only 1 death to stand a chance at maintaining a wallet, while the old PC farmers can literally go 16-21 in that same match and I would be behind in kills. But according to your setup, I would be the worse player. I understand this is a hypothetical, in almost every sense (I am a logi not a slayer, I doubt an old-school PC farmer would go 15-21 but even 16-3 still proves my point, and I have no intention of even trying for these as I know my limitations), but in every sense of this "challenge", the advantages go to those with the largest wallets and not the most skilled, since overall kills matter to the detriment of smart and effective play to minimize casualties. You can disagree with many things, but these are absolutes. It is possible that someone who only loses 1 suit a match will win, but more than likely that will only be the sniper. Either you have very cheap "full proto" fits, or you have never ran a suit as expensive as I can run. I don't, because I'm not an idiot who thinks he can only lose 1 suit every 2-3 matches, but I do break it out when I got isk to burn. Which is exactly what PC farmers have in abundance. To win this you will need a mountain of isk to keep your best suit on the field, regardless of difficulty and cost.

No. I agree with you entirely. I have chosen to not participate in this event as a display of my distaste for it. I do wish that they would count kills with non-proto weapons, though I also wish they counted kills with equipment too (better believe that I would have RE and Prox named after me if they did!!). Though TBH, I also wish that CCP would just say "No, your Isk/Isk-Assets aren't following you to Project Legion". Yes, I have most of my wealth in my Assets but would I be pissed if they didn't follow me? No, I'd just accumulate them again.

Personally I'd prefer an event where for a week or so there is an increased chance of getting unique (or new) officer weapons. That way everyone has a chance to win and is rewarded simply by playing.

If you are mature enough to admit that in this game, and in life, there are probably other people who are better than you at something, then that shouldn't bother anyone. Lets say the top 200 slayers in dust feel they have a chance and are going at it. But at any on time theres about 3,000 + players online. Dedicated vehicle users are cut out of the event. Logis are cut off of the event. Casual players and dedicated players are cut off too. Because very very few out of still thousands who long in every day are going to no life a whole weekend to name a weapon. Its geared towards a select group of players as well as people taking advantage of boosting in low populated servers. If i go on oceana and kill a friend 20 -30 times a match and let him kill me three times (before or after removing my proto suit) am i a better player than the adv player who started 2 months a go without SP for a proto gun but much higher kills? The event is ongoing and i wish all the real competitors good luck. I just hope next time the event is more inclusive. It should have been all the weapons in the category and also a point system on what you kill. Killing 30 mlt suits being the equivalnt of 20 adv suits or 10 proto suits. Incentevise killing the diffcult opponents but giving new guys an outside shot fighting weaker ones and rewarding those who kill the stronger suits with weaker ones. People might no life it, but then again alot more people would no life it Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me. CPM1 Candidate
