That's not my definition of a scrub. To me a scrub is a disgusting exploit player that will do anything to win. CCP has either accidentally or deliberately put certain things in the game that are "supposed" to be for one purpose but are used as exploits to gain advantage in the game, fostering FOTM followers.

An almost perfect example is the jumpy myofibs. They were supposedly meant to allow people to jump on top of things rather than use a dropship. If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you over a swamp. There is no way that CCP would not have known that this would be exploited by all sorts of really obnoxious characters that will find a way to use it for advantage. And so it is, that heavies with mass drivers and assaults with shotguns are gaining ridiculously unbelievable advantage, which simply cannot be countered.

CCP has fostered these scrubs. Someone at CCP seems to really like messing up games like EvE and Dust, interfering with the mechanics and creating the very FOTM garbage they say they want to avoid.

To me, scrubs are the lowest of the low - dirty players that will do anything to win and follow whatever FOTM is currently fulfilling that desire in all their fellow scrubs. I refuse to play that game, and it makes this game so much harder for me, but I would stop playing rather than participate. Luckily THIS game is finished and I won't have to put up with this for much longer.

. There are some matches where leaving the match is my statement of disgust at the scrubbery of the red players.

I would agree with all of these, with the exception, under some circumstances, of:

• SNIPERS - during the match, a sniper allied to a squad can be very beneficial to that squad, and at the end of a match, snipers on the winning side can take out redlined players that are staying far back from the action, alternately, those on the losing side can still have some effect where otherwise they would be useless - some say they already are useless, but sniping is a valid game style, if used correctly in support of the team.
• Battle leavers - there are some situations where leaving the battle is the only option acceptable to the player concerned. I myself am a perpetual solo player. There are some matches where leaving the match is my statement of disgust at the scrubbery of the red players.

RE Scouts are certainly scrubs, add to that jumpy RE heavies.

This game has just gotten ridiculous.

So basically what you are saying is that you are, in fact, the classical scrub. And no, that's not an insult.

Aside from the battle leavers example, all of these individuals are simply doing what is necessary for them to win yet you are blaming them for it rather than overcoming it. This is the prime example of a self-created prison of fictional rules that only a scrub can come up with. The game itself knows nothing about such ethics and conduct.

Pay attention class, because this is EXACTLY what makes a scrub.


Toomany, I'd recommend you take some time to reflect on your mindset.

He is saying you are a scrub because you believe you are helping by limiting your choices on purpose, and that once you accept there are valid ways to win other than those you have morally deemed acceptable you will no longer be a scrub.

In fact, your doggedness in your reply if proof of what Himoko says, if you subscribe to Himoko's definition of "scrub".

That's right I don't have to play a game I don't like and when I encounter this vermin, I usually leave the match. If I stay it's to see if I can find a way to make some progress regardless of their ridiculous tactics, usually using one of my BPO fits, which they hate because they're inexpensive and therefore they don't really do me any damage.

You are both missing my point, and further clarifying that you are in fact a scrub.

You may not like it, I may not like it, but jumpy mass drivers are here, they are within the rules, and people will and should use them.

The difference between us is that I don't call someone a name for playing within the rules. They are not ruining the game. They are trying to win, which is a hell of a lot more than you do.

If I had to choose between you and any other blue dot, you would be sitting on the bench, because no one who wants to win wants people with a bunch of e-honour constructs on their team.

You keep making up your own rules, and still losing, should make for tons of fun in whatever game you take your toxic mindset to next.

What? This is something CCP did deliberately. It suits someone in CCP or CPM to have it this way or it wouldn't be.

The game speaks for itself. It's less and less enjoyable every day. You think that conforms to the concept of CCP or CPM wanting what's good for the game? It may be good for certain people who benefit from it, not for the poor cannon fodder that are being blasted in pubs.

Breakin, laugh all you like. It won't change the fact that this game is becoming less and less enjoyable for people who try to play fairly. For the record, I said "someone" not "one of". For all I know it could be all of CPM that thinks these disgusting tactics are fine. CPM tends to be fairly advanced players who advocate what they believe to be good things for the game. This becomes a problem with they lose sight of things like NPE, which is crucial for increasing player numbers.

As I've said before, it's just as well this game is ending. I'll add that in its present form it would not likely last too much longer.

The fact that pubs have degenerated into an all out slug fest for proto players, with stomping now being condoned in the name of burning everything before the end, says something. Why are they in pubs? Why not in FW where at least the opponents would put up a fair fight? No, they're in pubs where they can slaughter everyone that can't afford proto gear or doesn't have the skills for it. Where else are noobs to go? FW is all but shut down because all the protos have now joined the pub stompers.

That doesn't have much to do with "scrubbery" other than the tactics that are being used, but the fact that these twerps are slaughtering near defenseless noobs probably would fit my own definition of "scrubbery". It's pathetic.
