For all of you who run proto in public matches. You all are total deuche bags. You can try to argue about how everyone else needs to get better. No. You need to quit running proto in public . It is Your fault that people will not stay to play this game. Run a basic suit in public and learn to play for fun not your kdr. I blame all the proto stompers for messing up this game. No need to argue. Your point is moot.

Well, there is a difference in running proto for enjoyment as a solo or casual and running it standard with a proto squad. As in, premeditated.

It's the lack of persistant higher level game modes rather than the players' fault for trying to win games.

I have a hard time playing and not caring about winning or losing. If I think I need to bring out the big guns to push my team over the top, I will. On top of not having things to distract veteran players from stomping pubs the payouts don't reward players for trying to push against the odds and earning a win.

More than new players getting run off, it's veteran players who refuse to participate when they see a tough squad on the other side. I leave matches now if solo against a good squad. I used to take it as a challenge, now I know that my dot on the map might be the only one outside the redline.

I think it's lazy and ignorant to blame the skilled, less casual players of the game for all the problems.

Leaving the battle isn't the answer. The pool of players is too small. As sad and unfortunate as it is to recognize an enemy you can't beat, being able to recognize a threat and run away is part of the game. CCP even advises it in a tool tip, so check your target's info, and run away if you are outclassed. *recognition of the types of rep tools helps... If they have multiple reps going, your ONLY chance is the extreme alpha strike weapons (RE, PC, FG). If you don't have the right weapon to beat the rep train, run away.

If you put together a full squad of vets the only thing that will beat them is another full squad of vets. The potential imbalance is exacerbated with random n00bs who might charge into a 0/13 slaughter. They'll do that until they quit or learn not to do that.

Just as a reminder, some other fps games forced 'Auto Balance' on matches while they were still going. You could be winning solidly and then all of the sudden you would be on the other team. It prevents or reduces stomping, but ruins squad play.

Unfortunately, many veteran players still care about their KDR. They want to wipe new players off the map to pad their egos, it is a feeding frenzy, this gets old fast with many players, Isk is not a problem with veterans, so what would be the rational (because you can) is a poor excuse in my book. I enjoy a bar fight match that has bodies flying everywhere on both sides, would it be that much trouble to dial it back abit and maybe help newer players (the few that stay) instead of bullying them constantly.

U know what, who cares? Run whatever the fuk u want. The game is dead and never going anywhere.

You'd still die to a militia, stop b!tch'n and try harder or quit. Complaining only hurts you. I kill proto with MLT, gg.
