Simple.
This happens with every game imbalance. Every time. Without fail.
I wouldn't be surprised if the track the quitting and afking as an indication of OP performance.
What you demand is action.

Ccp has responded with hotfix four.

Then they will check the results of that and respond again.

Back in the day they didnt tweak. They swung the nerfbat. Entire roles were destroyed overnight. Weapons were rendered unusable overnight.

Most of us prefer the 'wait and see' approach when compared to the horrors of the bat.

Its painful, No question, and we all feel it.

Not sure I care.

Squad Play > Individual Play

Result: I win.

As a solo player most of the time I get where the OP is coming from. I see it all the time, squads of highly organised officer gear wearing scrubs who easily stomp noobs match after match. I guess I can't blame them, although I'm not sure how they call that fun, but the problem is essentially the way ccp has allowed matchmaking to continue. There should be a solo mode for sure, there should also be more time taken to fill proper matches. What do you expect a new player to think in the current state of the game? No game modes work except domination, and once you land one you get stomped to oblivion or wander around and do nothing while vets on your side stomp the enemy. It's stupid.

Very poor matchmaking has made for unfilled, lopsided, painfully boring matches of late. I do disagree with the OP on the hot fix topic. I am excited for FoxFour and overall have faith in rattatis ability to balance the game. However balance is just one facet of dusts problems and overall something that is missed by new players. New players want exciting close matches where they feel they can contribute. If you want to retain these players you need to find a way of achieving that.

The insane and most idiotic part of this is that FOUR people in a match of 32 are able to do so much.

Yet people are still so brain dead that they blame those FOUR for actually playing the game the way it was intended. Don't get mad at all the people not doing anything. Don't get mad at the five tanks on your side that are somehow unable to deal with that single blaster tank that is wrecking shop. Don't get mad at the six snipers on your side that are somehow unable see those eight dudes camping on top of the pipes.

Yes, get mad at the four who were unaware that killing people in a FPS was bad.

So here's the thing about DUST 514.

If you're looking for a fun and fair match, you've come to the wrong game. When an individual says they want a balanced match, their only lying to sound less like total tool bag. No one plays Dust for a fair game, they come here to pad stats that mean nothing so they can wave their E-peens every which way declaring "Hay look at me, my KDr is so good because I got skills!" By skill, I mean skill points, and gear that is much better then yours.

You know how some free games are pay to win? Well this game is wait to win. Once you have the right amount of skill POINTS, you're good to go, no one can stop you, except for maybe the other guys who waited just as long as you. Well, that's what the leave button is for. Besides, this game isn't built for balanced matches, it's been hand crafted just for the vet players to pad their stats all the way to their heart's content. After all, why ells would it stack the proto squads on one team and leave all the low levels on the other? Why ells would this problem persist since the start with no end, because it's not a problem, everything is working as intended.

In this game, you have two choices. You could wait to get proto, and get nothing but victories devoid of all value. Or most likely you will be the cannon fodder, nothing more then sacks of meat to feed the vets as they gorge their DKrs. All you can do is accept that you are only padding for that one stat. Since they take so much pride in their slaughters, take pride in your deaths. Is winning a match any different from losing one? So far I've never seen the difference in either outcome, you define what wining is to you. So just sit down already, and play the game how it was designed to be played; Stomp or be stomped.

welcome to New Eden.

The reason why you get stomped all the time is probably because you suck. I have been in quite a few stomped matches where our team was done for but a few random blues and myself were wrecking the reds. This happens quite a lot. So instead of complaining go out there and work on your aim.

I have played in matches where two squads was the opposing team and my team was total random players . Others have brought this up only to get crapped on by the community that doesn't want this system to change .

They asked , how did that happen .?. well if I had a capture card then you would have seen it but the next time this happens , I will take a pic on my phone and link it for all of you to see because it does happen where you get squads , not a squad to que on one team .

I guess if you people could see that then you might change your tune or maybe not .

The sad part is CCP seems to feel that the old guard is more important than the new players. Even though those new players represent possible new revenue streams. So, I guess we know who the fools are.
