Asking to take away multiplayer options from a multiplayer game is counter productive.

I think its a good idea cuz i like playing solo. A lot of people do and teams can be set for PC and FW but pubs should just be players who wanna play solo.

I dont want to play against a team with tactics because its boring. I want to play randoms who are always testing their skills and have fun. I dont see why it would be a problem.

It doesnt change anything cuz its still multi players vs multi players. Why do you care if its randoms vs randoms?

Because I actually have friends that I like to play with.

Is it just too hard for you to fight against people running as a team? No one is stopping you from going solo, why would everyone else be forced to do so? Most people have friends or are at the very least sociable, also it's beneficial to play together.

Why would CCP take that away, because it makes the game too hard for you?

Because it can prolong the life of the game by giving newberries less of a reason to quit. Squads should only be used in FW and obviously PC.

Also, I can easily throw right back at you that the reason you don't want squads removed is because then it would make the game too hard for you.

Its not that but the fact that match making is so broken where its teams vs randoms. Iv played 9 matches today back to back and my team in each game lost horribly. Each match was one sided and you cant blame me for not wanting to keep playing this game when all we do is lose. Who wants to play a game like that. The fun is drained. Why cant i play other solo players who dont want a huge force of opposition. 1v1 is a lot more fun.

The game will be played as long as it's free, CCP doesn't have to worry about that.

You can't throw anything back at me, I've played solo many times and I've been in a squad many times. I've played this game for years now, the fact is I have the option to either go in solo or play in a squad. I did just fine when I first started and I started playing solo since I hadn't found a corp yet. I think my K/D was 1.5ish initially too.

I do just fine doing either, but I enjoy the company of my friends more then just flying by myself. You have the same option as everyone else, learn how to play solo better if that's all you want to do.

This game might be free but the playerbase is shrinking. Too many newberries get slaughtered repeatedly by squads gaining up on them and they end up losing any desire to play this game.

Even full squads of veterans actively quit matches when they see they are up against certain squads that would pose as a challenge to them.

Squading up is fine but it should be restricted to FW and PC matches. Pubs should be left squad free to help provide the conditions needed for a newberry to actually commit to this game.

We need to focus on sustaining this game by increasing the playerbase. That is not going to happen if CCP focuses on appeasing unreasonably selfish and shortsighted people like you.

How can there constantly be new people finding and playing the game to get "slaughtered" if the player base is shrinking? Not to mention, if they get ganged up by squads, wouldn't that give them an incentive to join one? You know, they don't even have to join on, just help their team! Find a blueberry and work with them.

Why even have a team? Why not just suggest a free for all mode? Heck, I'd go for that, just have 32 vs, every man for himself. There's no point in having a team if your not going to try to work together to win.

The thing is, pubs are the only way to get a steady flow of isk. PC's don't happen as frequently, and FW is primarily loyalty point gain.

I don't know how to tell you this, but your int he minority. The majority of this game is played by people who run together and squad up with the friends they make. Wanting them to change the entire set of public game modes to suit what you want, being the minority, is what's selfish and shortsighted.

How long has this game been running with squads being in public matches? Why do you think there hasn't been a high demand to make it a no squad zone?

You know what, this is a petition page, so you just go ahead and see how many people you can get on board with you, match that against the active players on any day, then let the numbers speak for themselves c:

The fact that this game can't field full teams is a clear indication that the playerbase is shrinking. For every newberry that joins this game there is going to be another newberry that says "**** this game".

This game has been running with squads in Public Contracts since its inception but look at where that has brought this game. There are just as many forum posts from people describing this game as a "dying game" as there are posts requesting that squads be removed from Public Contracts.

CCP can make more money if they set it up so that more players are willing to commit to this game instead of quitting within a month.

People who come to this game because it is free most likely will have no intention on spending any money on Aurum right off the bat. If CCP can get more newberries to commit to this game they will be setting themselves up for a greater and more continuous stream of revenue through the purchase of Aurum; newberries will eventually fall to the urge to purchase aurum so long as they play the game long enough to reach that point.

You know, even if it was the best idea ever in the history of ever, and 100,000 people signed up in here... I doubt that would be enough to sway CCP :/

I wouldn't mind if they added in a mode to facilitate that kind of game play. As long as you don't touch my skirmish or dom with that insanity I'll be just fine. If they would do it with ambush I think it would be perfect, since no one is relying on the team to hold a position and it's all about the kills.

For modes like skirmish or domination, it's impractical. Your team is supposed to be holding a point or taking one, it's bad enough with the idiots wandering off by themselves into empty space on the field now.

That doesn't solve the problem , only adds to it and that type of thinking is flawed .

Well considering that both you and the OP are complaining about gear and teamwork both being problems, maybe you should both mosey on over to a free for all game without passive stats, since that is the type of game you want.

Edit: especially since both of you have been around long enough to have proto just from passive SP.

So its not the gear, but your inability to afford to go hard. And it's not the squad on the other side making youlose, but your refusal to squad up and actually fight.

Don't want to get in a squad or run the proto? Don't complain about getting fisted.

Convert Ambush to solo queue.

Voila!
