Welcome to the retribution.
Enjoy your stay.
But that comes at a steep price. Players are now effectively being punished by the game for being more competitive or just plain better than their contemporaries forcing them into game modes like PC [which is fine] and FW [which is still rife with un-squadded new players who cripple teams with incompetence.
I don't say that lightly. The biggest fault with FW lies in the fact that you simply cannot effect a meaningful change to the over arching conflict simply because you cannot trust the idiots on your teams to do their jobs with any degree of competence.

Maybe run solo instead of being extacy's perma scanner?
Or maybe just play PC if you want 'competition'
Which you obv don't. You just want to farm noobs using scrubby 'tactics' |

I'd say the problem isn't with matchmaking but a cowardly player base that has become fat and lazy feasting on juicy blueberrys. Now that people have to work for their kills they come and ***** about it on the forums instead of sticking it out and put up a good fight.

There have been a bunch of times when ive seen both teams playerlist and said "okay cool, their team is nice but we got some guys with us as well". Sometimes we get close matches and its cool. Most of the time though people either leave at the start or after they pick up a few deaths instead of just rockin with what they got.
So much this. The matches where people actually stuck around have been good and close. People leaving when they don't think they can win is a problem.
I would remove the scoreboard from the warbarge and make it where you can only see your team's scores. The traditional board should be saved for EOM.

Why should i do that? I like to be in a squad with similar minded people. I might be mean but im surely not unsocial. And my post was not to farm n00bs. It should punish the "good squads" that leave on purpose. I usually stay in a match regardless whos on the opposition. I just adjust my playstyle. I let the enemys come to me and not the other way around. Cause in the end im the guy on top of a watertank and a laser rifle together with 5 squadmates in ambush.

Eh, back in the IMP days we would intentionally sync AGAINST each other. You only get better against tough opponents.
Again the issue isn't going against tough players. The issues is the equally matched players (outnumbering the other side on several occasions) leave the match and screw over people on both sides.
Eventually these folks will realize they are just going to have to wait forever because, no, they can't farm randoms anymore. I do think that repeatedly leaving matches though should incur a penalty.

Think of the game like this though.
In Dust you need to fund your actions. You are a business as well as a commodity. In order to appreciate you need to be in a successful corporation, to do that you need to do well, to do well you need better gear, and to get better gear you need SP and ISK, and to get those you need to ensure you are a profitable business/commodity.
Morals be damned a player needs to ensure they are profitable above all other things and this means you cannot be wasteful with you lives in game and not always able to be aggressive resulting in the perception that you are "cowardly" a word that really has no meaning in New Eden.
For example this is especially important for a group that aspires to Planetary Conquest or Faction Warfare, the former requiring a large initial investment from the players and corporation while the latter requires a sustained flow of ISK to support your long term efforts.

I don't think simply bitching and moaning will get something done, nor did I think OP was simply bitching and moaning. I'm pointing out that OP is a customer or maybe a potential customer and treating your customers like disposable pawns isn't very smart even if they ***** and whine.

Hard to do that with or without pissing off most of the playerbase though. |

Obviously, discussions of how to fix it are already occurring amongst the CPM, and will occur with CCP as they analyze the data from today's test, and decide how to proceed next. I imagine I got to be a CPM because I'm able to weed out poor feedback from good feedback, and pass along useful information to CCP, as is my job.

This is the worst fps playerbase to ever play an fps. Mainly due to the eve community and the F2P aspect of the game that draws in noobs and pre teens.
That's right. preteen tryhards from CoD might actually be better then the garbage players that eve brings to the table

If you were actually good at the game you could run whatever you want without having to even worry about isk consumption.

What I also know, as in this case and mine, is that sometimes consumers interests come into conflict with one another, and you are put in the middle and must do the best you can to please as many people as possible.
I would argue that giving time to those that make an honest effort towards helping, encouraging those who aren't to do so, and ignoring consumers that may be a greater negative than a positive is the best way forwards. Sometimes as a business, you MUST fire a customer.

As I have said before I do not believe one can hold themselves responsible for the enjoyment of their opponents in a competitive PvP game. This is because no matter what I do to pursue my own enjoyment it will likely directly conflict with your own. That's not to say I wouldn't want to foster a pleasant line of communication or community outside of the game....but in game I'm not responsible for making anyone enjoy the game more or less than they should.
I understand the wider implications yes however to what level do you hold me or any other player responsible for your enjoyment of the game?

What it really comes down to is they are to bad to run proto all the time so they don't and make up excuses.

No one has to "play like a pus$y" to accrue ISK however it is simply a means of doing so that is efficient and reaps the rewards of ISK and Kills.
The difference is between players, some like to play aggressively and get to grips with their opponent, other prefer to approach the game more passively.
In Pub's I'll either derp around or try to win the ISK war. At this point with Tanks the way they are kills don't mean that much to me but winning the ISK war against a team does.

OP / Customer makes a post in an open forum and is chastised by a representative of the business. I critized this move and you defend it by saying ignoring customers is optimal under curtain circumstances which would have been fine but he wasn't ignored, he was chastised. Not by just the public which is fine but by a representative of the business. Anyway I'm over it enjoy the circle jerking.

Its one thing to be indifferent to whether or not what you do affects others in game, or how it affects others.
It is a completely different set of circumstances when the goal of someone IS to ruin the enjoyment of the game for others.
That is what we are talking about with some of these players.
And if your enjoyment of the game requires that there be other players to play against, and your behaviors reduce the chances of their being someone else to play against, than it seems logical that you SHOULD care about how what you do affects others.

If you have to play like a pus$y to make isk then you shouldn't be saving up for PC in the first place. You should be playing a game that takes less skill. Not that dust takes much skill. This playerbase is just full of over analytical nerds from eve who are bad at fps. This is the worst fps playerbase to ever play an fps. Mainly due to the eve community and the F2P aspect of the game that draws in noobs and pre teens. That's right. preteen tryhards from CoD might actually be better then the garbage players that eve brings to the table 'Oh noes I must run basic to protect my isk consumption.'STFU nerds. If you were actually good at the game you could run whatever you want without having to even worry about isk consumption. No one has to "play like a pus$y" to accrue ISK however it is simply a means of doing so that is efficient and reaps the rewards of ISK and Kills. The difference is between players, some like to play aggressively and get to grips with their opponent, other prefer to approach the game more passively. In Pub's I'll either derp around or try to win the ISK war. At this point with Tanks the way they are kills don't mean that much to me but winning the ISK war against a team does. LOL at your isk war. It's monopoly money on a dying F2P FPS.
Where is a locker or trashcan when you need one.
GET THAT NERD!

Right... Because when the isk hits 0, which it will if everyone uses only proto in pub matches... What should we run then? No if everyone used proto the scrubs would run out of money and the good players would dominate and stock pile isk like they always have. Good players will be on both sides... It stands to reason that both sides will die... 2 deaths and you need what 400 - 500k isk reward to pay for it?
You see a guy die in proto a few times in a match, but they don't care, because the next matches will be 0 deaths against people who aren't able to kill them... That's where most of the 'non pc farmed' isk comes from.
Tell me how often you've had a good pub match (an even one with proto on both sides) and you've pulled a profit? Or did you get your money in the easy matches between... |

This is because no matter what I do to pursue my own enjoyment it will likely directly conflict with your own. That's not to say I wouldn't want to foster a pleasant line of communication or community outside of the game....but in game I'm not responsible for making anyone enjoy the game more or less than they should.
I understand the wider implications yes however to what level do you hold me or any other player responsible for your enjoyment of the game?
Its one thing to be indifferent to whether or not what you do affects others in game, or how it affects others. It is a completely different set of circumstances when the goal of someone IS to ruin the enjoyment of the game for others.That is what we are talking about with some of these players. And if your enjoyment of the game requires that there be other players to play against, and your behaviors reduce the chances of their being someone else to play against, than it seems logical that you SHOULD care about how what you do affects others.
I'm not a huge fan of purposefully going out to ruin someone's day unless they are a tanker like me. Currently the only form of enjoyment I get out of Dust is competitive matches in FW which are few and far between due to less organised Min and Amarr groups queuing these days.
Public matches to me for very long time have only been a game mode to supplement and ensure I can competitively in FW.

I critized this move and you defend it by saying ignoring customers is optimal under curtain circumstances which would have been fine but he wasn't ignored, he was chastised. Not by just the public which is fine but by a representative of the business. Anyway I'm over it enjoy the circle jerking.
I gave you circumstances in which you MUST ignore or fire a customer.
If people are watching a play, and someone is talking on a cell phone, it is the responsibility of the theatre to remove said customer so that a greater number of customers can enjoy the show.
In Dust, if a player wants something that creates imbalance, and as a result significantly reduces the enjoyment and playability of the game for a great many others, it is CCPs responsibility to ignore that suggestion.
What about that is so hard to understand?
