I've been back for about 2 months now. I've seen a lot of new faces. It's like comparing Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan.
When I left Dust last year, FunkMaster Whale was the best Forge-Gunner in the game. Guys like Regnum, Kallente and Extacy were the best slayers. Cubs and Preston owned QCQ. Ted Nugget, The Legend345 and Addict Punk were feared on the battlefield in tanks. Sir Snugglz and Ariana Stratos ruled the air. idk man...
Now there are a lot of players who have taken these titles. I know the game has changed a lot, but it just seems so weird trying to explain to these newer "Legends", that they inherited their titles and didn't exactly earn them. It's hard to say something like that without offending people, but it's the truth. Most of the guys running the show now-a-days are....scrubby and nooby. Arrogant and have forgotten where they came from and what real competition is.
Just don't know how else to explain it. I miss the Djinn's...I miss Regnum, I miss Cubs....I miss Snugglz, The Legend, Bobthe843CakeMan, Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane, all the old guys. Missing Chromosome period.

The only thing I can think of in response to this is to tell you to go **** yourself. How the hell do you have the audacity to call arrogant the newer players who put in the time to develop the skill needed to excel at this game all while saying that they didn't earn those titles and that they were inherited? The new top players did not inherit their reputation; they earned that reputation by outperforming others.
By out performing, you mean running into a objective that is crowded with reds and tossing a RE 20m into the air and clicking R1?

Yes Kallente and Extacy still play, but not like they used to. The reality is, the vets get lazy and fat when the prey is easy. I.e.- no competition. Addict still plays as well. But there are so many others that are missing that I didn't mention.
Lord ChaosQC, Sgt. Biggz, Chesty Ranger, Jk 420, Skittles Mcduckett, Hunter18 Storm, Alldin Kan, The Dude, Smokethatkush Allday, Healo Healo, Kody Cole, Boba Fett, D3struction, Columbian Boss, (Some of those old cats from Vacuum Cleaner LLC, can't remember their names, only dying from them in pubs all the time.)
So yes, we still have roughly 8 or 9 of the best still playing, but you might run into them once in a blue moon. I just miss going into a match and seeing some of these guys on the other side. I would see them and know that it was going to be a good fight. And that I didn't have to worry about running 4 scanners and 2 kin kats just to find kills. I could enjoy the satisfaction of killing them, knowing that I've progressed as a player. I could also enjoy the pleasure of being killed, and leaving that battle having learned something.

I love everything about this video. The small maps made it great for up close and personal combat, a lot of CQC. None of this cloaking up and hiding bull crap we have now. High TTK. Low clip sizes. ADS wasn't as tight as it is today, making it harder to hit targets, required better aim. No aim assist. Hell even the music was better back then.

Personally, I've been tanking in Dust for a long time. I've been through & continue to slither in a sea of nerfs. I've seen & faced the best competition. I've felt the thrill of victory - overcoming impossible odds. I miss all of the tankers I used to roll with. Who had my six, Tankers that I could count on. Almost all of them are gone and it ain't fun to think about.
I would hope there are some who remember my acolades. Other players are what makes a legend possible. Never will I gloat or perceive myself as the better tanker. If others make me a legend, So be it. If not, So be it. I'm sure all of the other dinosaur tankers feel the same as me.
Everyone plays to the best of their ability and honestly there are a lot of missing names in your OP. But remember, Things change with time Burns. The new legends made today are the same as before. It just all depends on what legends you know - There are many unspoken for.
I agree to some extent, however...I believe our perception of a "Legend" differs. Back in 1.6, I was playing ambush and we were down by 26 clones. Dia Farron hopes in the match and not only made up the difference in clones but was picking up noobs left and right, saving our clone count. We ended up winning. A Legend to me, takes your breath away. Does something astonishing that contradicts all odds. So you see, I'm not just talking about the guy who goes 30-0 in a pub, but rather a player who displays impossible characteristics.

Most real legends would stay legends despite the nerfs and changes to the game. Take every single one of them on as a challenge.
True...unless it's impossible for them to play...BECAUSE THEY"RE BANNED! You know who I'm talking about. That was weak. Pathetic. As a matter of fact, I believe WE the players should have a say in this matter. We should be able to over-turn a vote and have players re-instated.

It's f*cking conspiracy Reg. Because Kain Spero and ChicagoCubs-#ERA recked everyone from Chromosome to 1.9, players were quitting and CCP was loosing money. So they cut off the head of the serpent and the body died. But we will have our day once again. We will rise like the phoenix and rule over New Eden once more. And they will say, "Who is like the beast, who can make war with it."

They set him up. It was "entrapment".

IT MAKES NO SENSE! Think about it. Cubs didn't need isk. Kain and Cubs owned 80% of MH. Corps cheat/boost in front of CCP's face all day, by district locking and they don't ban the CEO's??? I see people boosting everyday in pubs and they don't get banned.

It is impossible to say how these newer players would fair against some of the older ones. I am sure some would flounder, but I am also sure some would surprise you and hold their own.
While I understand have some respect and deference for some of the original players, I think it is quite uncalled for to do so at the expense of some of the newer players that show some skill. I think it a bit egotistical.
Let's find out then, help us get Cubs back. Unless your scared. He's only one player...right. lol. What's it to ya?

If you are using myself as a measuring stick, I am afraid you are using the wrong device. I can die to Cubs just as easily as I die to Militia Assaults and Heavies. Its not hard to kill a 200 HP scout that can't defend himself once spotted, especially when he mostly carries NKs, Flaylocks, and PLCs.
Oh buddy, it goes so much deeper than gungame. I'm talking politics and retribution here. lol.
