Dust is supposed to be about mercenaries. Thats what i am. Im not a privateer, im not a grunt in someones private militia...I work by myself, for myself. When im fulfilling a public or a factional contract, my focus is not on your game enjoyment anymore than your focus is on my enjoyment. My focus is on profitability, and im going to protect my bottom line. If that means I got to camp out in a safe zone with a inexpensive sniper fit, then so be it.

Dont lie. The reason you vets squad up is because you are deficient in FPS gameplay and need all the help you can get. Been that way since the first day you logged in and got smashed. The only reason you are in a squad is because 1vs1 you get rolled so you need atleast 2vs1 or 3vs1 to make up for the lack of skill.



Well maybe if the battlefield wasn't full of little b****es like you who need to go around and have 6vs1 fights, I wouldn't have to start retreating halfway through the match. Maybe I don't want to sink down to your level. Maybe i just want to log in and play for a few hours without a videogame being my entire life. Not all of us live on welfare and play EVE and DUST all day building imaginary little empires. Some of us have to work to pay your benefits and food stamps.



Reduce my payout, and ill fight even less. Less reward = less risks taken. Simple economics. Not everyone had access to the Obamacare passive PC ISK handouts. Some of us had to actually earn our ISK instead of sucking someones **** to be part of an alliance that just collects welfare all day.
Maybe if you played the game for fun instead of playing for narcissistic intentions, you would actually have fun.



"Molon Labe" does sound like a bar you would find in the flamboyant part of town. I had my suspicions, thanks for confirming it.

I don't enjoy arguing, i prefer to discuss. It was fine until your corp mate rolled in and degraded the conversation into a petty tirade.

Look I don't enjoy redline sniping anymore than you enjoy having no one to shoot at. You have some crazy suggestions to fix what you perceive to be a problem. And i was pointing out that you aren't even fixing the problem, you are fixing a symptom of the problem. People dont go to the redline to make profit, they go to minimize further losses. They dont go as their first resort, it is most of the time, the last resort.

See you though, you just want to fix redline sniping without fixing the problem underlying it. Its a balance issue. You can put as many restrictions as you want on the redline, the problem will just migrate elsewhere. You kick everyone out of the redline...maybe they will just all pile into a DS and stay at the ceiling for awhile. People wont just give up, throw their hands in the air, and say "ok lets go and sacrifice ourselves repeatedly with free fits on so that Thor and his friends can have a good game". If they are avoiding you, they will find another way to.

Maybe you take a little initiative if you want to see something done. Dozens of people in this thread, including myself, have told you that redline snipers is the result of 1 team being vastly outgunned and outmatched, so they retreat. Maybe if you don't defeat your opposing team halfway through the match...you'll have people to play against all game.

As for myself, Im not hurting for ISK. I have a nice little pile I scrimped and saved up. But I got savings because I made choices to mitigate losses. If i played the game the way you want me to, I would have gone broke and quit a long time ago.



This made me laugh. Coming from a corp that always fights in squads, you're going to talk to me about "single combat"? You guys stomp newbs out of the academy while wearing proto, and you'll talk about "honor"? Your ideology does not match your actions.

I would accept your offer, but since you cant do anything without atleast 5 of your corpmates by your side, ill pass.
The day you are your own person and are able to stand on your own feet without 5 people propping you up each match, ill gladly take you up on that duel offer.
