Derping about on a mlt alt, farming WP with the sweet mlt rep-tool.. do you know what it's like to use that R1 button??
A proto logi zaps you and recieves instant WP along with a repped heavy, a noob fit takes 5x that long after a few battles I was having to rest my trigger finger in between reps, combine that with every proto suit I met taking -100 dmg while dealing 800+ in an instant, then add in a proto squad running Gallogi and slaying our team back to the redline...

Damn right I started camping with a SR Pirate

We make the game unplayable Vets rek Scrubs who rek Noobs who... what do noobs do??

Even if they played like I was, being an absolute WP scrub, you get f*ck all, die every time there is not 2 people to assist you on a kill, and literally spend the game being a suicide slave while you watch scrubs have the fun...

So basically, they cannot fight you, but I suppose screwing over your FW efforts is their way of saying... t(-_-t)

deezy dabest Evil Syndicate Alliance. 2	Posted - 2015.07.21 07:26:00 - [5] - Quote "Keep what you kill" (ISK) at a certain % no matter what game mode you are in. This is exactly how Eve works with the salvage system. Add LP bonuses per kill based on value in FW. Again just like Eve. Problem solved. It solves lopsided battle problems in pubs as well. Remove NPC orbitals from FW. -- Fix orbital timers for Eve players assisting in Planetary Conquest.
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 10	Posted - 2015.07.21 07:29:00 - [6] - Quote Ugh. This is why match rewards are important, and why friendly fire is your friend. Bluntly there needs to be a way for people to police this. And it needs to be player-enforced policing. Rather akin to how I politely tell blue dots in facwar "No, you may NOT borrow my LAV without asking first." WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

I think they should consider L10 standings players being able to kick players from matches in FW.

The dude was going positive most matches with a lot of 6-9 type matches mixed in. The difference was that he joined a corp right away and started squading up, he uses his mic to get advice and to coordinate with squad mates. The people I see doing the most AFK are not noobs, they are vets. Put your violin away.

You know this could be really stupid. I get people dont like "snipers" because they "do nothing", however, there are some good snipers out there who do their job and defend an objective more effectively than three guys. Now, even if the sniper is doing nothing, by killing him you are just helping the enemy team. Too bad he is not helping, true, however, killing him is even worst. Now, if he is an ass and he is killing teammates then he should be killed.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 6	Posted - 2015.07.21 18:49:00 - [25] - Quote I was defending the point in a Domination match this morning, when my wife informed me she had a splinter. Now I am as against people going AFK as the next guy, but when your wife is wounded you don't tell her to wait until your match is over. I stuck my character in a corner (about 10m from the objective) and listening to the sounds of blasting weapons in my wireless headphones as I ran to the bathroom and proceeded to extract the splinter with a pair of tweezers. Much to my surprise I was still alive when I returned. That is my AFK story, although to don't think this thread was actually meant to address those rare incidents where people have a legitimate reason for going AFK. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

All respect to Thor for his taking a newberry under his wing but there are ridiculously few DUST players who are willing to do so and endless punishment for new people trying to find their way in a game being made for the sole purpose of ego. My solution would be a dismal and barely rewarding form of PVE. Let those who would afk loot a battlefield or kill drones. We have to stop blaming our teammates for playing an increasingly hostile game. It's hard to beat up hundreds of armor piercing bullets using only your face...

I'm getting into matches where there are so many people not doing ANYTHING that your only option is dampened scout taking objectives solo. Once spotted there are 6 people shooting at you from every direction. I used to leave these types of matches, but when you get a streak of 4 or 5 like this WTF are you supposed to do? And again, these aren't noobs not doing stuff. They are veteran hoarders.
