I still see people using injectors, i still see people smashing uplinks.

We need 1 mil a day and we got 500k yesterday IF THAT. Unless we get over 2 million kills a day during the weekend then its over.

I have a hunch its because theres no SP reward but whatever. Can we atleast get a follow up chance to win the BPO?

I'd say people just don't into math. I know many won't care about the event, but I've seen more proto spam then is typical in my experience. Could be coincidence but I think people are try harding but don't understand why. So I see a lot of ambush matches lately end like 0/20 or 20/0 clone counts with 4 minutes left on the clock (Slow ambushes) and red lined matches in dom and skirmish of 100/150 150/100 clone counts. All the proto spam is slowing down the meat grinder.

Don't even get me started on the douche canoes running around in tanks and ADS. We want quantities of K/D not good K/DR. You don't want to hurt your K/DR, well the event is only 5 days in length and we are halfway through it, just play something else or use an alt you don't care about and spam BPOs. Quit sniping, tanking, ADSing, and join the meat grinder soldiers! Or troll the community, it's your prerogative.

Edit: From what I've seen we could easily still hit the 5 million clone count if players just start grinding each other in BPOs and such.

If the problem is high KDR players facing low KDR players instead of each other, I think I might have a suggestion ...

You've already wasted more effort hinting about a kdr matchmaking system Than it would take to make your own thread. People can't think for themselves. You should just lay out the pros and cons.

If you're a logi, you carry ammo, REs, and links. Heavies need to be speed tanked. Assaults need to be speed tanked. Scouts need to be speed tanked. Go forth and DIE! The people that don't "care" about the event are listless, whiny, maggots. The type of person that complains about the taxes you pay winning the lottery, the kinds people that tell you what sucks about owning a monkey. So get on board and help me in liberating Molden Heath of life itself. Ironically I'm one of those "type of people" that think tax lotteries are scams... because they are, but I absolutely agree with you that the goal is to kill and be killed. Not roll around in a tank/proto squads going 8/0 or 15/2. What we need is many more people going 15/15 and such. Like I said earlier, I'm cool with people not caring about the event, but I'm pretty sure with the level of coordination I keep seeing in pubs SINCE the event started that people are try harding for the event and not understanding the concept of K/D versus K/DR.

With my squad, we were redlining every enemy we faced or we had to chase the enemy team out of their rooftop.. That's another reason why the event is a failure, dust players are coward. Because I'm sure you always spawn in the CRU that is under contention if possible amirite?! Come off it, redlining in an event like this discourages the meat grind. If I wanted to do what you are suggesting i'd create an alt and just go to battle academy and suicide with a grenade over and over.

The reason we are losing the event at the moment is , of those who are participating, because players are doing exactly what they do even when an event like this isn't happening. Spawn on the contentious CRU's, spam clones and attack attack attack. Who cares about winning? Win what you need for your missions, and win the obligatory 3 matches total that you need to qualify for the reward and beyond that have fun. Try builds you would never try before. Worst case scenario it doesn't work out and you add to the clone count. What's killing this event right now are the try hards. Everything you learned about being good at Dust(Picking your battles, spawning in safe locations, establishing control of the battlefield) forget it. We don't need that behavior. What we need is people having fun shooting each other and dying. You can go back to fantasizing about being the very best that no one ever was Tuesday. Until then, let your hair down and treat yourself to some fun girlfriend!

You've already wasted more effort hinting about a kdr matchmaking system Than it would take to make your own thread. People can't think for themselves. You should just lay out the pros and cons. Which isn't the issue at all. High KD/R players period are an issue for this event. You get high KD/Rs by being cautious... that won't meet our CCP overlords' meat quota. Quantity and not quality, is what we need for the event. It's not about killing more with a certain weapon than others, it's not about winning so many matches or earning so much sp. It's about killing and dying. That's it, so as long as you're out there "interacting" with the enemy you are helping. If you're putting on your big boy stomping shoes and chasing all the other children away, you're not helping. If you're hiding in a vehicle or in your red line, you're not helping. As the Abusive Sergeant says, "Get out there and fight maggot!" Edit: And for those that don't understand why people won't just leave their red line when you're strategically shutting them down... you must be only children (no siblings) whose parents never took you to the park huh?
