What compels you to play Dust?

personally i feel that the whole problem comes to how this game has progresed and how in many hotfixes/patches, has been given power to squads all the while nerfing solo play aswell...

what im getting at is that ALOT of players in this game are casual and whather this forum comunity likes it or not ,(and say it like this beacuse many people in this game doesnt visit the forums either) solo play is a very prevalent thing, alot of people just want to go quickly hop in shoot some dudes in the face atfer a day work ... BUT when faced with a very strong opposition do you honestly think that these players will stress themselves atfer whatever happens or has to go trough in life on an almost impossible comeback, and not only that lose quite a significant amout of ISK on a battle that wont ever reward as much? (if you play or played domination you will see what im talking about)

heck i even posted some ideas here to give some of the excesive power that has squads over actual teams whitout it here:

but what ever im sure this most likely wont change and people will keep complainig that others are leaving,redline sniping, and such anyways.

Are you insane? Team scans, super scouts, OB nerfs

The game has slowly shifted away from squad/team play. The reason solo play is more difficult is that there are fewer squads willing to carry the weight.

And it's an FPS. If people are casual, be casual playing balls out without a care in the world.

i disagree. Solo play has been COMPLETELY nerfed. Before i could earn an OB solo 20% of the time (which is awesome, rewards those who play the best)

Bandwidth was the final straw for us all.

And it doesn't even register for me. Sometimes I don't spawn in a heavy because I don't want to kill my links, that's it.

Solo isn't effective because everyone is solo. Sometimes you've got a squad on one side, sometimes each side has a squad. Solo is most effective when you are lonewolfing while squads are keeping the enemy distracted. I don't normally even consider if a person is going to have backup when engaging them because odds are he's just a hero making a break for the hack on B.

Personally, I think that the whole "ISK makes the world go round" deal is one of the main things that makes Dust unique. Instead of hordes of retards charging at each-other with the best equipment in the game, people say "I'm not going to waste ISK on that", and play more strategically.
I believe there's already some sort of plan in place to make a win more valuable, however.

This^^

I don't need to waste isk on this one match when there will be how many more of the same. Hou could potentialy keep asking people to lose isk by breaking out the good stuff. No reason for proto in pubs anyway. No proto in pubs would fix one third of matchmaking right there. The other two being no premades and no comms. Total random, insta join and out.

No not everyone I only have 50mill running in with my wallet in my hand is not very logical.
