Again though, I don't believe in removing content just because CCP fails to build and retain their player base. We shouldn't be punished for CCPs failings. The playerbase is falling apart because matches are boring. They are boring because people don't have an incentive to fight. Join some random squad finder squads, ask them why they aren't pushing. "I'm not going to lose ISK this match". People make posts about it and they go ignored or people say to run BPOs and that's that.
But ... I mean ... that's what cheap-suits are for. I have 7k and 8k suits that perform decently in matches, and if that's still not enough then using the starter BPOs is surely better than just sitting in the red zone masturbating. |

Lol, so apparently everyone gets thrown on the same side in Dom, and its always an easy win.
No hard loss for the other side?
Couldn't possibly turn into a good match even...
People who don't play Dom shouldn't comment on it.
I play domination a lot less than I used to. Conservatively I'd estimate that I experience matches where both sides keep pushing for the point in domination 10% of the time. Two scenarios usually happen: 1) Team races to the point and captures the objective. The other team shows up and pushes them off the point. Sniping and other forms of camping ensue. 2) Team races to the point and captures the objective. The other team starts sniping and camping from afar and aside from a few heroes, nobody even considers the lone objective a factor. I haven't played in a couple weeks, but I used to play Dom 90% of the time. I would estimate 50% or better to be decent matches, 30% redlines, and 20% hard fought. I push regardless how much isk I lose. 1 guy can make a huge difference in Dom. Drop some links and defend them, then watch how many snipers come out of the redline.
Please explain to me the difference between "decent match" and "hard fought". |

Disclaimer: If you enjoy it, there's no reason not to play it. The following is in no way meant to argue that you shouldn't play Domination.
I dislike playing Domination as a solo player because you have practically no chance of taking the single objective which is sure to be well guarded, as opposed to in Skirmish where you, perhaps with a couple like-minded fellows, can sneak around to less well defended objectives, kill the few if any defenders, and grab it. The same concept applies in the event that there is a proto squad on the enemy team and not on your team. They can do a lot of damage but they can't completely monopolize the game the way they can in Domination.
If you don't care about the objectives except insofar as "that's where the action is", then sure, Domination is great. It just rubs me the wrong way to play that way because it's basically ignoring the thing I'm supposed to be caring about. |
