Ur kilin d gaym!

This is a topic I've been meaning to post for a while. With other threads of the same theme being posted it is time I add mine in hopes of helping the cause.

If you are in a squad, running full scroto in a pub, and find your team pit against an inferior force of noobs....

DON'T IMMEDIATELY STOMP THEM BACK TO THE REDLINE AND FARM KILLS!!!!!

You're not proving anything and you are only killing the game. They will leave match out of disgust and you will leave out of boredom. You will get LESS kills by using your best gear. New players will quit the game.

If you want a real challange, want to help this struggling game retain those precious few new players, switch out your scroto gear for starter fits, let them out of the redline and give the noobs a fighting chance. If you can't still do well against noobs on a level playing field then you're not as pro as you think.

The way it should be is that we all enter a pub match using low to mid tier gear. If the teams are evenly matched and the fighting fierce then it will naturally escalate to proto tier play. If one side is outmatched they will be less likely to leave battle as there is still the impression of a fair fight. New players are more likely to continue playing long term when their chances don't seem so hopeless.

PC corps have been playing by an unwritten rule that you don't flip the last district of another corp. CCP did not enforce this rule, it was the players who took it up in order to improve planetary conquest as a game mode.

In that same spirit, you have the ability to affect the prosperity of this game in a positive way. You are not a dev, you can't implement balance or add new content to improve this game. But you can take responsibility for your own behavior and choose a play style that will do more good than harm.

Please, don't be a scroto scrub in pubs, give a noob a chance.
