PC is tough to get into. Many players don't like the idea of having to stick with a role or stay in a spot based upon the strategy being used for that battle.
They also don't like waiting around before the battles only to not be selected for the match.
They also don't like being asked to skill into areas in order to be utilized more often.
They HATE it when they are told that certain things just simply are not viable in the PC setting.
But fighting in PC is in my opinion the most rewarding thing in Dust. At the same time it is by far the most discouraging thing, although much less the case now that passive ISK has been removed.

PC is just a mode for people to suck their own dicks in but I'll be damned if they aren't good at it. Seriously though, the only reason to play it is for bragging rights.
Awwww, point to the area on the doll where PC touched you.

So if I am not a member of one of the big corps - am I still going to be able to get into PC? It's a corporation thing only?
Yeah, the districts are a corporate asset. And you have to be in a corporation with roles to purchase and launch attacks on someone else's district.

There are potentially ISK rewards for PC, but that is solely dependent on the success of your group. For many it's just another ISK sink despite what you read on these forums.
FW provides higher tier gear with lower SP requirements (like AUR gear) and some items perform better than regular proto gear.
FW provides no ISK payout.

Awwww, point to the area on the doll where PC touched you. Someone is a little sensitive. You can't tell me the only point of PC now isn't to be able to brag about one's corp having districts or otherwise kicking some corp's **** in during a PC match.
Actually its awesome to be able to participate in matches where it's all on your group. There are not 5 snipers or 5 tanks or 2 dudes racing LAVs.
It's also nice to iron out strategies and see them work.
I don't know anyone that plays PC to be able to brag. Bragging and smack talking is just a byproduct of any competitive human interaction, it's weird that you haven't recognized that in your everyday life.

On a good day of doing 2 to 3 PCs you can make around 10 mill
or one can lose 3 to 6 million ISK pretty easily if their team doesn't win those 2 to 3 PCs.
