If I threw a post at one of these babies like you and I used to lob at each other on the regular they would be calling their lawyer rather than nutting up and getting a good scrap going.
The core of not bad players gets smaller and smaller. The pubscrubs keep getting reinforcements though, so its only a matter of time before they turn what is left into a shadow of its former self.
The don't won't New Eden FPS, they just want a crappy, F2P CoD ripoff that doesn't make them feel bad for being bad.
You sound so old, lol.
For the record, I don't disagree with you. I'm an old guy - started in the E3 build - and have kept up.
With respect to Sota's argument, the game did feel more brutal to me a year and a half / two years ago. A lot of that came from a lack of auto aim, a lack of active scanners, and other mechanics that offer very huge bonuses nowadays. Playing with PFBHz and against big corps (of the time) like the Imps or STB, I felt more in tune with the "high skill" environment of the time.
That being said, I'm an old player, and old habits die hard. For example, I have not - now or ever - skilled into active scanners. The game is just different now, and there are really high skill players and tactics for this new environment. More QQ is obviously correlated with more options because there's just more to QQ about. I would say that the current proliferation of APEX suits and Officer tier weapons is disheartening. "Back in the day", someone bringing officer tier weapons to a CB (Thales, Balacs, Krins) meant that **** was real, and you had to push yourself that extra mile to 1v1 that guy. Now, it feels like Off. weapons are more of the norm. And because these weapons are purposely OP with rarity being the balancing factor, its proliferation is disheartening.
With respect to new QQ vs. Old QQ: I don't spend any time in the war room, so I don't know how the tears flow. But I do know that a lot of people in GD would have an aneurysm reading Mr. / Omnipotent Zitro or Protoman23 posts. That really was a HTFU kind of environment.
