So, this event is actually a lot of fun. I enjoyed the proto-on-proto battles. With that being said, it was a terrible idea for the newer players. People that don't even have enough SP to be using a proto gun were forced to compete against people WAY over their level. Why didn't you just list it under the special contracts tab in the battle finder? People competing for the event would have to face other COMPETITORS, not militia-level players that just started this game. FURTHERMORE, I have heard quite a bit about people boosting in factionals. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but given the amount of people I have heard this from, it's most likely true. I played ambush about 14 hours a day for three days during the event, and pulled a little over 2K in HMG kills. I was getting anywhere between 10-30 kills PER AMBUSH. There is no way that someone got over 6,000 kills in the same amount of time.
So, with that being said, why did you pull this event without thinking it through? Surely you realized that boosting would be a problem, and that newer players would simply give up on DUST 514. Do you just not care?

You don't have the balls to carve yourself out of the mayhem, then you shouldn't be here. This game is difficult for the new player, yes. Can it make you into a better player? Yes. Go hard or Go home.
That would be great if this game was like COD, where level/experience isn't everything. But this isn't COD. This is DUST 514. I don't care how bad the 15 mil player is and how good the 1 mil player is. The 15 mil player will win EVERY TIME. In fact, playing something like this will only make you WORSE, because you are getting less ISK/SP a match, and you are more likely to ragequit DUST 514 entirely.

My point is in COD, reactivity/response time is EVERYTHING. In this game, I can get shot in the back, turn around, and STILL kill the player if he/she is using militia gear. There's just about nothing a newer player can do. In COD, you can kill a prestige 10 player in your first game. Good luck killing a 45 mil player in your first game on DUST.

Strategics can only get you so far when the enemy is using a Duvolle AR with proficiency 5, and you are with a militia AR.
