Why do people have to defend themselves for playing the way they want? Because it ruins the game for others? Particularly new players who don't know anything about the game, and their first experience out of the Academy is likely a proto stomping squad in a pub. Some of us actually want the game to stick around, and that can't happen when the current NPE is Academy to being proto stomped. Heck, even many vets are getting tired of it.
Yeah, I agree. But people shouldn't have to defend themselves for playing the game the way they want to. Nobody is complaining about people using BPOs and that ruining the game. That battle academy thing should be extended a lot. It only last like two missions and then the new guys are "out in the galaxy" with little to prepare them for the terrors New Eden has to offer.

I do believe that this game suffers from a lack of new players. More new players, more fun. I do agree that when new players arrive here and get proto stomped, they don't want to stay. It's a very sharp learning curve, and it takes a long time to get your ideal loadout, to where you want it to be. Meanwhile the newberries are constnatly getting stomped, to try and achieve these goals. Which makes it so they don't want to, or not worth it for them to stay. I also believe that CCP enjoys this, and encourages this. I also believe that there are vets out there that will complain about their, either way. KDR Matchmaking was actually a pretty good suggestion, but I think a better idea, would be to get those game modes we were promised. Such as PvE, something about a drone swarm .. whatever. So newer players have the opportunity to raise their gear and experience and then fight the good fight.I also firmly believe that the BA should be extended. Have I proto stomped before? Of course. Would I do it again? Maybe. But as "unfair" to the new players as it is to get proto stomped. I think it's even more unfair for people to say, you can't use that gear that you worked for and make concious decision about what skillbooks you spent your sp on and got your loadout exactly the way you want it, sometime painstakingly. Again, I do agree we need more players. I also think that the "new" game modes, would really help everything. Plus me being a vet and pretty good at this game, would like to play some PvE in this game also.
