Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 3143	Posted - 2014.09.25 15:44:00 - [1] - Quote I'd just drop and squad I was allocated to. If I must suffer the presence of pubbies in my squad they will be pubbies of my choosing.

If I must suffer the presence of pubbies in my squad they will be pubbies of my choosing. What if dropping squad dropped you out of the match? Forcibly inflicting me upon unsuspecting pubbie squads has been classified as a war crime in all four empires, prosecutable by CONCORD and punishable by death.

I mean, it isn't like you can't start a squad (invite people or be happy with who the servers ally with you) or join one from the finder (only join squads led by people you enjoy playing with or keep joining them until you find a squad you can stomach). It isn't like there aren't tools there to help you refrain from being put into a squad with random "pubbies", if you're not going to use them then don't complain. Most players are idiot olympic gold winners. There is no advantage to playing with most and bluntly 9 out of 10 times I am deeply occupied putting vehicle drivers and ADS pilots in their proper place (in the grave) to give a rippling crap what the redt of you are doing. You take points, kill people, whatever. My AV mission keeping that crap off your asses won't be assisted by listening to a bunch of idiot mouth-breathers go full nerdrage when someone manages to gank them. So no. Take your forced squad idea and put it elsewhere. If it becomes a thing I'll just make a squad and lock it and STILL fly solo.

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 3155	Posted - 2014.09.25 17:22:00 - [5] - Quote I am against forcing people into squads not of their own choosing. And bluntly I am against another person telling me how I am allowed to play a game. I'm here for fun, not to satisfy your need to dictate how things work.

I think something like this could potentially direct someone toward using team work. Teamwork is undermined by people thinking KDR matters. Teamwork is undermined by people thinking that they are the hero on the battlefield. Teamwork is undermined when half the team is in scout suits. Teamwork is undermined by the lack of anything resembling a tutorial. Teamwork is undermined by the realization that the people you are trying to coordinate are idiots and your repeated statements of "Don't charge the Amarr Sentinel with the HMG" get ignored over and over.

Teamwork needs to be incentivized for it to become a thing. Forcing it will only **** people off. There is no incentive to be in a team. there is no incentive to win because match payouts are pretty much the same no matter how good you do. Win/lose the pay is the same. Why take risks? Meanwhile I'll be merrily torching every vehicle that tries to come into play.
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 3231	Posted - 2014.09.26 22:21:00 - [8] - Quote considering when you don't force-assign voice to a channel, it autoconnects to squad/team by default? 90% of the time it's sudden, and they are raping my ears with idiocy. It's not selfish, it's sanity preservation. Also, I've yet to see a random collection of blue dots who pay attention to more than the first shiny that passes in front of them. I've given up on trying to teach random squads how to act in concert. It's like herding cats, only the cats would cooperate more.
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 3304	Posted - 2014.09.30 10:39:00 - [9] - Quote It's not so much "I prefer to play solo" it's "I don't want scotty picking which bundle of moron I will be playing with." If I wanted to play idiot roulette, I would select a squad from the Darwin Award Grab Bag that is squad finder. But since most of the goons have stopped caring about DUST, my list of non-idiot tryhard tards I'm willing to put up with has shrunk to a select few.
