Great OP.
I remember pub matches of old. Absolutely memorable. Me, young in New Eden and scrubby, fighting in some matches that felt absolutely epic, win or lose. People fought, back then in pubs and they fought hard. There would be close matches that came down to the wire, involving close watch of clones or MCC ticks. Guys giving it their all. Strangers from different corporations working together. It was great.
Then it all sort of dissipated. This is a bit before FF too. AFK increased. Folks would run to sniper fits whenever a lil blood trickled from their mouths. Mercenaries quitting and leaving the match.
It sucks man. It really does. Like you said, Dust is unlike anything I've played before. I didn't play MAG so Dust 514 was my first...let's say...mature FPS experience. I was a fiend man. Logging in day and day out.
It's just not the same no more. I know why and I understand it. But pubs are laughable. You can't post up scores of going 50 and 1 from a pub match and get respect, IMO. Maybe in the old days, where competitive players were all around. From those who mainly played PC and sometimes pubs to mercenaries aspiring to become better in pubs, using it as a training session to prepare for PC.
I'm sad how things turned out. And I'm disappointed in how pub players don't even play in pubs anymore. Now even playing competitively in pubs translate into protostomping or unfairness. No marbles.

Yea, I can see that. Being as though many in here are probably the main ones running from a good fight. They just don't get it. But anyway, thanks for the thread. The truth has to be spoken at times to wake up the dead weight, hopefully.
