what i don't get is how these pubstars can run protoeverything and lose 5+ suits a match constantly.

I see a lot of people accusing others of being pubstars and battle leavers.

Pubstar: Frequent pub player proto-stomping with a squad in a public match. Usually consists of a gal logi + tank. Often boasts about skill referring to public match scores.

Battle leaver: Player who repeatedly leaves battle at the sight of opposition.

Players who regularly play pubs and stomp are no different from PC players who regularly play pubs and stomp; they are both far better than the average merc and have the ability to kill a lot of things. Just because they get good scores in pubs doesn't mean they are pubstars. Kaizuka is a good example, many of you probably don't know but back when Nyain held 40% of MH (i can't remember) on stacked timers Kaizuka was there fighting. He plays pubs now probably due to there being a lack of willing competition at 13:00 timers, and he needs ISK for his proto tanks.

Battle leavers do not want a hard fight, they are unskilled. They won't ever be good because they don't challenge themselves. If you see someone just leave do not assume they are a battle leaver; they might have family visit that they have not seen for a few months, their dog may have fell off a veranda and broken its leg, their oven may have caught on fire or the police may have been knocking on their door. If you see him leaving battle after battle he is a battle leaver.

Don't go throwing insults around because someone does far better than you could ever do in a pub.
that should have cleared some confusion up.

its called being rich. you should try it sometime.

lol battle leavers need to not get anything for leaving the battle early

I know that I get into it with you quite a bit but here goes. 1) I have seen you leave so many battles when your score is bad. Usually you'll die 3 to 4 times and either red line snipe or leave that battle altogether, usually the latter, and then I'll see you in the next match. I will agree with you, however, that they is such an large amount of people that leave battles at the first sight of people that they are not sure that they can beat or people that leave whenever 50% of the points are in favor of the enemy team in skirm or dom. Lest we for get that most of the people that play this game are thickheaded or are noobs to boot. 2) At this point in the game, proto stomping is not a viable complaint. There is so much isk being thrown around and with the way the market works, players that were otherwise broke, are millionaires if not billionaires. Play the market, get isk, stomp,repeat. 3) Kaizuka is a good friend of mine and he is not broke at all. As you know, Nyain san farmed the mess out of those districts and still hold an absurd amount of isk.

As for leaving battles, don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. No love lost Zor. See you on the battlefield

This is exactly the problem. In a well fought, interesting fight, you should lose 10 suits.

The problem is, if you try to stop a protostomp you go isk negative. It's better for both sides if one gives up, or runs free gear whilst the other stomps. This is bad.

Low reward matches should be meta locked. Better for newer players.
High reward matches should give high enough rewards so that if you fight proto with proto you can still make some isk.

The ultimate reward for wealth should be power in the persistent universe. Buying expensive assets for PC. Hiring mercs to fight for you, etc. At the moment the reward is stomping less wealthy merc's faces into the dirt in boring pub match stomps, which isn't much fun for anyone.

what i don't get is how these pubstars can run protoeverything and lose 5+ suits a match constantly.

They might have 5 deaths, but usually just get needled so don't lose their suit is my guess.

Exactly. Their 3 Pubstar buddies go and get a revenge kill, and lo and behold they all run a wiykromi needle, boom straight back up and back to more stomping.

i respect those who can solo stomp, even vs a squad

Think i've been stomped on pretty hard by you a few times, I used to slay like you but then I took a CCP to the mouse.

meta-locked matches aint happening with this low a playerbase and the countless exploits it offers. Not to mention how further off the 'mercenary fighting in Eve universe' idea the devs have strayed off already.

Stomping mercs when no one on your team is doing jack **** is quite enjoyable IMO. Redlining them aint, so i use a roden sniper

whats the problem , a challenging battle does not mean dying 24/7 nope it means it test your skills and capabilities that does not mean you have to die 10 times, dying 10 times and not getting a appropriate kills amount just means your helping your team less.

someone who dies alot is a drawback to the team the merc increases the chances of the team being cloned and hes spends more time out of the battle rather than in therefore not fighting e.g on average lets say spawn are ten seconds, if you die 10 times thats 100 seconds you spent out of the game that could have been spent more wisely.

07 xavier zor i made it to 4

nice nice...

I find a real challenge is winning....SOLO. Just winning in general can be difficult but when your that one assault clearing out a room of enemies for your team I get pride in that

^

kingthunderbolt alt??

King thunder bolt could never defeat regnum in a one v one like I have

lol and you expect who to believe that ****??

reg would flog your as 10 times over

Ahah aha, tell him to stop running in terror every time we fought so we can find out xD

I thought it said pornstar... I need glasses
