Some people measure "good" corps for their ability to stick around for a long time.
Which is the right way to look at it? I can't say. But what I can say is that these two factors tend to run counter to each other:
Over and over and over again in competitive gaming, I've seen the best of the best coalesce into a team, only to fall as quickly as they rose. Similarly, in every game I've ever played, you've got the average guys who look at things in a more inclusive way, and they are the ones that tend to stick around.
Which is "worst" and which is "best" is a matter of perspective -- and let's not forget that we all, by our nature, tend to self-select corps that follow our own perspective.
Well the good corps get tired of winning all the time and leave the game because the dust playerbase OFFERS SO LITTLE COMPETITION. The bad corps stay on dust trying to get better which will never happen. You might climb to the top of the pile of trash. That doesn't change the fact that you are still trash yourself. Its not a matter of perspective. Bad corps who stay together are still bad. That just means you like to play together and you don't mind losing. Which is fine by me and I respect that you keep trying but don't try and act like that makes you good because it doesn't.
I'm talking about skill by the way. Not in terms of which corps has the best gaming community. I don't care how long you have been together. Trash is trash no matter how you want dress it up.
EDIT-Not trying to be malicious. Its just the truth.
Oh, the old "we're too good for Dust" argument. lol
Actually, what typically happens is the "good corps" lose, bruise their fragile egos, and disband.....only to reappear on forums like this and look down their noses at others from their parent's basement.
Not trying to be malicious. It's just the truth.
And if you meant "skilled" then why didn't you say "skilled"? Because nobody is arguing corps like ML are highly skilled. However, to call ML -- the #1 all time corp in terms of kills and WP -- among the "worst corps of all time" or "trash" is simply ridiculous and symptomatic of the elitism all to prevalent in people whose only accomplishment is their skills in a video game.So, for me at least, when I came to Dust looking for guys to play with, I stayed away from the elite corps. Not because I didn't have the opportunity, not because I couldn't compete, but rather because I've done all that before and just wanted to be a part of something that lasts more than a few weeks/months.
And who said we don't mind losing? That's just silly -- of course we hate losing. We just don't quit when it happens.
And if that makes me and the rest of the guys in ML "trash" to you, so be it. In the meantime, I'll continue to be proud of what we have accomplished, and you can continue to live off success you had in a game years ago and the self-aggrandizing so typical of your kind without further distraction from the hoi-polloi.
Take care....Leadfoot
