Have you seen the current state of PC?
New corps have all the breathing room they need and still don't get in. The issue now is the game just plain sucks and is not worth that investment. The new PC update coming will make or break PC. If it sucks - PC will be quite literally dead as the last 10 corps in PC will be down to 5.
Yea, it's bad, but the people not in it don't see that. From the outside, PC still looks like this big thing. Some people may just need a "Hey, want to get into PC? We'll give you a district." and then maybe they'll decide to join. Who knows though.
See you have bought into the forum propaganda that spreads.
The Problem with PC isn't players playing the game that they have been given... It's CCP.
History.. Before PC came out back in Open Beta. The Illustrious "Chromosome" patch everyone recalls of so fondly.. There was a very active mechanic in operation called "Corporation Battles". DUST at this point only allowed 8vs8 in corporation battles.
The Reward? 0isk 0 SP *\o/* .. It was practice that was on going since closed beta.. We where practicing for PC.. And all the glory that CCP promised us.
This is the old guard of DUST. The people who went into PC day 1, and then adapted for a year of playing PC.. Hoping it would get better. People started quitting around this time as CCP's Executive producer quit and the staff wasn't talking to anyone.
We got dropped the bomb that is aim assist and Scotty the matchmaker... Lost a good 1/3 of the the PC crowd there... Competitive shooter with aim assist forced on you really ruins the point.
Then we had a resurgence with CCP Rouge getting hired and the new big patches coming out.
Then? CCP Rouge pretty much said they are shutting major development down for DUST. PC Corps big and small packed up everywhere.. PC has been an empty shell since.
-How does this play into New corps not coming up into PC?
Where in DUST does it teach you how to run tactics, Pick team mates for class role and squad... Have 16 active Mic's and people communicating, Possibly more with EVE support. working together, following orders... etc... etc.. etc..
Where is the step up that even helps them learn how to get there?
CCP has installed a 400 foot wall of learning curve for up and coming corporations to even aspire to PC.... They would have to enlist old guard PC members to even be able to stand a chance of holding letters.
This isn't about players having to hand a fresh to PC corporation a district and baby them...
It's about CCP Understanding Pub's don't teach team work and how to apply DUST skills to a PC 'like' environment in anyway.
