Solid Event CCP
1. Thank you for including DUST 514 in the Happenings of EVE Online - especially since the faction that I love and support was affected so tragically. Even though the two games are not well integrated It was pretty cool to earn a shroud of mourning for the death of the empress to at least feel like I was participating in my own way.
2. I felt that the rewards covered the spectrum of players, the hard core and the casual. The 150 kills is an impossible task for me, but I could get some of the others. The 30 wins was particularly difficult for me. It was a personal trial as well. I like this game. And every battle I play I put my best out on the field so that whether my team wins or looses I can walk away knowing I did all that I could. But my best didn't matter in the challenge that mattered to me the most. As much as I supported my team, my strength alone in battle was often not enough to stem the tide of stomping.
My role as a Logibro is to be whatever the team needs for battle. Uplinks, hives, reps, scans, face shooting, repairs, whatever. I run the whole gambit of options open to me. I choose this role because it is what I enjoy most. But, because this challenge was not in doing my best or what was best for the team but winning and winning only; it was a challenge to stay engaged when my team was being crushed and there was no possibility of winning. Against evenly matched teams it was more of a let down when it came down to the last few seconds and we lost - all that fighting and effort wasted -, but when we were crushed it was more of a "why bother". It stopped being fun for me, and I hated that. I hated that winning was all that mattered to me - I've never been that person. And when it is against insurmountable odds I really had to wonder about the matchmaking formula and if it is finding balance. I want to enter games with a 50/50 chance of winning, but I still walk away from most of my recent months of play with the MU matchmaking with a 60-70% loss rate. When I'm having fun, that is of little consequence. I still get paid, and I can still play.
Yet, I began leaving battles. Near the end when it was just a waste of time - I haven't done that in years, yet I did it about 10 or 12 times because I didn't have more RL time to play and I couldn't waste what little play time I had. I became selfish. I hated the stomping and yet prayed to be on the winning side. I pitied those that were trampled, and knew I was likely to be among them in the next round.
All of this to say: It was a good challenge, yet the matchmaking... it is complex enough that I cannot offer valuable input when considering all the variables like player base, MU score, etc.
I confess that I failed my team, and worse I failed myself with that kind of behavior. I never want to be that guy again, and have decided to shore up that weakness. Never again will I place winning above having a good time - rewards be damned.
For what good are those riches when I loose my soul in order to gain them? It is not a price I will pay again.
I look forward to future events. Thank you CCP.
I look forward to the next iteration of Dust 514.

Vengeance is not mine to claim and I see no value in it as war is not place for my personal feelings, no such foe exists within my reach. I trust others within the Praetoria will see those of killed her face justice.

Oh, but though has't twisted his words to flare honor and demand leadership spring from his tools of condemnation.
