I know a 4 man Negative Feedback or Nyain San squad is going to be brutal as well, but for some reason it seems like people will like their odds better if they are only facing 4 instead of 6. People may feel there is a chance.

Also, 16 / 4 = 4. So , we can have 4 different 4 person squads in 1 match. Instead of a 6/6/4. Doesn't that just make more sense? The current squad limits always seemed wierd to me. Make it evenly divisible. 4/8/16 = pub/FW/PC. Seems logical.

Also, the idea of 4 4 person squads on each side for a skirm match would be fan - freaking - tastic.

Here's why it doesn't make sense.

Every single argument why 6 man squads are bad for pub skirmish with an isk reward just chucked out the window for pub skirmish with a LP reward.

4 squads are supposed to better than 3 for pubs. So why are 2 squads better than 4 for faction warefare? It's is after all just a pub skirmish with zero barrier of entry, with zero matchmaking and ridiculous long questions times.

It doesn't make sense to assume 4 vs 4 squads would be fan freaking tastic in skirmish, shouldn't 2 vs 2 in the same game be game breaking bad?

If people feel like they have a chance vs 4 in a pub, what in the world is going to make them feel like they have a chance vs 8?

Because lp?

Or, get an 8 man squad and run starter fits in FW if all you want to do is socialize. The game is all about adaptation. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

If teameork is so op, why not go all the way and ban squads from pubs? 4 man squad will wreck a solo scrub just as quick as a 6 man. And if you think 6 man squads were dominating pubs, what do you think will happen with 8 man squads in fw? Orbitals are going to be everywhere. Pubs are still the most acessbile part of dust,and what the most popular. Teamwork will still be op, nerfing the last positive quality of dust. Relatively quick pickup games with groups of friends.

Natural progression suggests it should have a higher level of difficulty than the Pub matches. I honestly would be in favor of completely removing squads from pub matches but that is too much of a stretch. So, I will take what I can get. Honestly, me and my buddy run 2 man squads and are efficient enough so the 2v2 argument doesn't bother me. I have to say thanks for using logic/reasoning other than the whine/***** we are hearing from most people. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.
