I have ambition but I'm also not going to make Dust 514 my whole life. there are people out there who like to live their life outside of dust, and there are others who refuse to spend money on a free-to-play game (like me) . I'm a Y.A.M.A.H. member for life because of friends, if you leave a corp for a big-name corp with better players. what does that say about yourself? Yes I will admit that we are far from PC ready, but I don't do too bad for only having a lifetime SP of around 8mil. Good things come to those who wait. if anything, I game because of my friends, not because I have to be the best of the best and in the best corp out there. I do respect the players who decide to move on because that is their choice. Isn't laughing at a loss better than rage quitting? I was not there for the PC that I guess went horrible but I can say that I don't take everything serious. New Eden is a place of fiction, some people take it too seriously in my opinion.
Happy Clone Hunting!
You're confusing optimism with ambition.
And nothing good comes to those who wait, that's just plain lazy. That line only works if you're waiting for something to happen.
Even in a game if you aren't willing to get a little serious then you should just expect to be walked on by those who try - and being serious doesn't take away from the game, at all. It adds to the fact that you're building something with others when you see them take it seriously.
But isn't optimism the same as ambition in this context? We are currently trying to build up our skills and our numbers something an ambitious person might do in a game supposedly centered around teamwork.
Currently isn't all of PC waiting for PC 2.0 to drop? Should we instead plunge ourselves too deeply into a gamemode that is currently queued for a major overhaul?
As for your last point well you are correct. Its better to laugh and learn than to get angry at people (cough Abraxas) that are quite frankly better prepared than us.
We will get there eventually why rush and risk losing our friends because they got frustrated over something silly as a few losses.
PC 2.0 isn't the big change everyone is hoping for - all it is doing is replacing ISK purchases with Corp Point purchases and limits what a smaller populated corp can do - and the addition of raiding mechanics that may introduce 8v8.
None of that matters if you can't win your games, the same groups and players will always be playing because of lack of ambition.
And you hurt your own players by never improving as a team, what Dust really offers is all found in Plantary Conquest - the true game mode of Dust, and you're limiting what your corp mates are going to be able to do in this game by waiting for things to come your way instead of grabbing them. Don't you want to help them get rich and enjoy matches where blue berries aren't ruining things for you? Play with and against other players who just want to be the best that they can be?
If you're truly a group of friends - losses won't matter. Keep it up and keep learning and it won't take long for a bad group to become very good, it's part of the beauty of Dust.
