What do you all define as being "scrub"?
I ask because I am hard pressed to think of anything that should be described this way, other than a tactic that exposes you to zero risk.
I'm not asking what tactics define scrub, mind you, I'm asking the actual definition, not examples.
Most of what people call "scrub" are easy to use, hard to counter tactics. I personally don't see this as a negative - these are built into the game and therefore to me are legitimate tactics - they make me work harder to improve; they are a challenge.
Please help me understand why someone who complains about "scrub" tactics is anything other than someone who is upset that they got beat with tactics that are easy to master?
I am not a fan of the phrase "adapt or die", but to me, we should learn to counter these types of tactics. We should use them to become better - to learn new ways to engage the enemy.

Scrub: anybody who relies on any combination of elements that, at present, are overpowered and out of sync with gameplay as a whole then switch to new elements as those become off balance rather than stick with certain elements they already trained and practice with to become genuinely better at it.
This does ruin the general gameplay and limits variety as players gravitate toward easy win elements for power wins rather than bringing the full selection of elements into gameplay.
Hence, why DUST would die even if it was a properly developed game otherwise. To see an at least halfway properly designed game, see EVE Online.

This is the original term in regards to gaming.
http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub
It is loosely defined as an individual who entraps themselves inside of a mental barrier of excuses whenever they lose, instead of assessing with they did wrong and how they can improve.
To be called a scrub is not necessarily insult, but more of a direct classification of where they are mentally in regards to competition. Almost everyone starts at scrub status and, with luck, happens upon a breaking point where they become self-aware of the condition and break out of it.
Of course, the current generation of gamers has no sense of history in regards to the word so they use it blindly as an insult with no meaning.

Not quite so black and white. The scrub believes he is trying to win, and on some level he is. But he is restricted by excuses, rage, or fictional rules in his head that only apply within his own self-created purgatory. He will try to win, but he will never try to improve. All the while not understanding why he can't beat opponents who possess a superior mindset.
A person who doesn't try to win at all isn't a scrub persay, but simply a casual player who couldn't care less. They don't make excuses for themselves and are simply content to be inferior players.

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. |

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.

Spoken like a true scrub.
Myos are bad because they kill you.
"Real" skill means not using jump mods.
You don't have to play a game with rules you don't like. But when you make up your own rules and get mad at people who don't recognize your own rule set then you are a scrub.

So according to you & toomany, me, as an RE scout, is a scrub. But according to Himiko and Babershop and linky I'm free/properly bastardly. Yeah starting to like where this thread is going. Cause reasons.

This is correct ^
It is also FACT that there are players who frequently use hit detection glitches / exploits and also have a network connection advantage
These advantages are compounded by so called "scrub tactics"
This is interesting because technically I am the scrub for complaining about players who knowingly use exploits or having these advantages.
( These problems are not corrected by CCP and therefore should be accepted as valid tactics)
My complaints have nothing to do with me not putting in an effort to compete.

To be called a scrub is not necessarily insult, but more of a direct classification of where they are mentally in regards to competition. Almost everyone starts at scrub status and, with luck, happens upon a breaking point where they become self-aware of the condition and break out of it. Of course, the current generation of gamers has no sense of history in regards to the word so they use it blindly as an insult with no meaning. 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. Spoken like a true scrub. Myos are bad because they kill you. "Real" skill means not using jump mods. You don't have to play a game with rules you don't like. But when you make up your own rules and get mad at people who don't recognize your own rule set then you are a scrub.
This to me is also the very definition of a scrub; a player who will defend a bad mechanic as if it is set in stone. Rules? Myo jumping was a late addition to a dying game that was thrown in without any real plan to follow up on that element. This was done after he maps were redesigned to already limit things already in the game like sniper LoS etc. the maps did not get redesigned to accomodate this new mechanic. What's more is at myo jumping isa cheap and easy addition that circumvents other, more engaging gameplay.
A game will suffer under this mentality of dismissing a game element because you simply think others are complaining due to character death. No, there are those of us who are obviously looking beyond our own k/dr to the overall game design.
It's like throwing a kitten into amgroup of children hyped up on espresso. You d*mn well know what they're going to gravitate to. Might as well just shut down the amusement park when that happens.

The definition of scrub is that Breakin Stuff guy. He's a Scrublord.
On a more serious note, I call everyone a scrub, but the real ones are the ones who don't ever lose because they got outplayed, or out-tactic'd. If you pull away all of the gimmick fits and clearly whacked stuff, they're the ones who in a perfectly balanced game will claim that every death they have earned is because the other guys are cheating, the other gear is unfairly superior, squad gangups are inherently unfair, etc.
Anything to avoid admitting they might have done something stupid and paid the price for it, or admitting their opponent might actually be... you know... good at the game?

It's not actually a bad idea; a Proto CalAss gets no bonuses to an Assault Combat Rifle. I think you might have mean ARR, and ACR.

I really hate the garbage that does this sort of stuff in the game. It's ruining the game, but of course, you can't blame the vermin that use these tactics, blame CCP for allowing it in the first place.
I'm proud of the fact that I leave matches where this cr@p goes on. People who fight using exploits are scum, and I won't play against them. I certainly won't use their tactics, and I'll happily leave the game before I do. |

For the record, I have no problem with people using whatever gear they want, and can fit. The problem I have is not with those people but with the way CCP creates matches which are unbalanced and tend to put all such people on the one team. Those people tend to squad and matchmaking puts all the squads together on the one team first before starting to fill the other team with them. This is presumably to allow squads to team up together.
Whatever the reason, the result is one side with squads full of proto gear and well organised, against the other side with usually solos and noobs. How anyone can say that's a balanced or enjoyable battle, I don't know! Even if as a solo I find myself filling a hole in the stomper side, it's a very unenjoyable experience because I simply don't get any targets before someone else takes them out.
There is nothing wrong with proto gear. I myself am working towards it. The problem is the battles. |

Yes CCP has allowed this in the game, more to their shame. But people who actually stoop to using it and all other such cowardly contrivances are scum.
I wanted to point this out too, i have my own rules when i use certain things so in a way im a prisoner too. I don't find anything wrong with using REs, unless it breaks my very small, but still have, rules.
1) Won't use REs on a single target, REs are for groups and objectives 2) Only use REs on a single target if that person is hacking a letter that i cant reach in time
So in a PC, we need to hack a point in city, 2 in 2 out, we each have 2, 1 in 1 out, were about even, but to increase winning chances, we need this point. Group of sents, logis, need to be cleared out/distracted to get a speedhack in, K. What do i do as a PC scout? I could try shotgunning them all, but people know that sound, second that first shot goes off someones turning jumping away and firing.
OK, so i could try knife, quieter, more damage, but, my knives don't work in PC usually. Blue shield flare, no damage, people turning jumping away and firing. So what do i do? Toss a RE maybe two with a flux, clear them or most of them out along with 20 uplinks that are placed. We now have an opening to hack and dig in as i call it to defend the hack.
3 outta four letters, let them have there HP but don't let them have access to the city, our HP is secure, there locked out, now they have to try a different tactic. Blah blah blah etc etc. Another self prison, MAs with bons & REs take over scout role. Usually if a scouts job is needed, send in a MA to do it better. To me, thats stupid and scrublike, making me a scrub i guess.
Feel fortunate that my corp uses me in PCs as a scout when an assault or an officer scout will do it better blah blah at least before i got sick and haven't been on. I could go on on the way my self prisoner mind thinks were REs are and aren't acceptable but i don't feel like it, and i gave one tiny slice of being a PC bastard.

Don't forget re point traps when your team is all rushing another point and can't defend another point.
Or when there's an unattended enemy vehicle that needs to go kaboom.
Or planting them in a common choke point where foot/vehicle traffic is high.
Or the infamous equipment remote explosive sandwich trap.
All good uses.

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.

Abuse it all to hell. If Rattati reviews data and sees the horrifically broken KDR that jumpy mass drivers are causing then balancing will happen to reign it in.
Look at it like you are helping Rattati gather important data, not cheesing your way to 50 KDR.

I would argue that your attitude is toxic, not their opinion. You can disagree with someone's opinion without the conversation devolving to what you just did.

This is my take as well; if this gamer weren't on its deathbed, then perhaps CCP would fix things that they determine are broken. In my mind, if you feel it is broken, then do as Ripley said and prove with stats it is broken. But since the game is all but dead, it doesn't matter. CCP won't say anything is broken, so it's not. And since they won't change anything, there is no reason to complain. Use it.

Doesn't change the fact that sparky needs to either alter his mindset or change games. Or be happy as a casual.
Would you not heap scorn upon someone who showed up to a track meet barefoot and calling those in shoes scrubs after they lose?
What would you do if you were sitting at a table, and the person across called you scum for putting hotels on the Oranges after free parking? Would you give them a polite dissertation on the structures of rules and the affirmative consent of starting to play a game under said rules? Or would you ask them if they were special then tell them to enjoy playing the new solo monopoly at their own house?

Except I don't even have mass drivers skilled into, and never have. I find explosive area of effect weapons to be pretty limp wristed.
However, just I don't use them, doesn't mean I call people who do scrubs.
Thanks for making ridiculous assumptions though.

And shut your mouth about exploiting weaknesses of a scruby tactic. Scruby tactics exploit the weakness we all have which is being teamed up with blueberries who can't handle this game.
Many of us who hate scruby tactics can counter those scrubby tactics just fine but we can't offset the damage done when our blueberries are being slaughtered by a tactic that has a ridiculously high payout when you look at how little skill is involved in carrying out said scrubiness.
Many times I have run up on a jumpy armored assault with a mass driver who manages to slaughter half a dozen blueberries before I and, on average, one other person out of the ten blueberries in the vicinity are able to kill it.

There is no such thing as a "scrubby tactic". At the end of the day, it is still a tactic, not an exploit, not a scrubby tactic, just a bonafided tactic. And any tactic that helps win the game is good, because winning is what matters. Those that do their best, bring out their best gear, their best suits, or the opposite of scrubs. Those that complain about them are the scrubs.

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.
Shut the **** up you disgusting scrub. You use the myofib mass driver combo not because you are trying to win a match but because you have **** for gungame and have to resort to an easy mode tactic to make yourself feel better about yourself. Actually from what you just said, you are the exact definition of a scrub. I'm a scrub because I say the myofib massdriver combo is easy mode? I read through this entire thread and no one mentioned anything about a scrub being someone who calls someone out for using an easy tactic instead of focusing on bettering their gungame. No, you are focusing on what the enemy is doing that is killing you rather than what you can do better. And also, have you ever actually used the myofib + mass driver combo? It is not as easy as some people would imagine.
I used the myofib and Plasma Cannon combo before and it made me feel like a scrubby piece of ****.

Good one Summa, but I believe that falls under the "making excuses for poor performance" blanket. gungame. there's a useless metric in the context of a combined-arms first person shooter encompassing direct-fire, indirect-fire and area-of-effect weapons.

There is a such thing as trashy players with no gungame who jump onto the easymode bandwagon in hopes of making themselves feel like they are actually good at this game and capable of accomplishing something.
What should we call these people if scrub is a word more suited for the likes of people like me?

But the real problem is people who choose to use these tactics. Yes, they ruin the game. The way the ruin the game is that people like me will simply stop playing. You'd better hope I'm in the minority. Just as well the game is ending soon. With all the stompers in pubs instead of FW and PC where they should be, it's hardly worth playing anymore.
And who, exactly is saying I'm losing??! Last I looked I'm going quite well for someone who only really started playing 8 months ago. I count it as a positive that I manage to keep making progress regardless of this sort of stuff. |

Thanks for the giggle. 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. |

Blaziken, yes, CPM generally do want what's good for the game (including EvE), at least according to their way of thinking. But there have been many controversial changes to EvE in the past, at CPM's behest, which prove that they don't have the well being of all in mind all the time. I would say humbly that the same sort of thing goes on with Dust, if the current game is viewed as evidence. |

It's the most common in fighting games, hence the original coining of the term during the arcade era with street fighter 2.
Smash is considered a fighting game, though mechanically it has more in common with sumo than anything else.

Jesus I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
Thanks for the giggle. 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.
"People who play fairly" aka losers.
Do you not shoot other players in the back? That would be unfair.
Put an re on a wall and run around a corner to bait someone? Totally unfair.
Dropping an OB? Unfair.
Did you invest SP into suits and weapons? Congrats, now you can't shoot starter fits, that wouldn't be fair.
Don't you see how your silly ruleset ruins more than it helps?

You're kind of making the same irrational suggestion others made when they told everyone to overly dampen their dropsuits to avoid permascanning knowing damn well that doing so not only gimps your dropsuit but also drastically decreases the variety of capabilities your team has to win the match.
Telling people to switch to a Sentinel with an AHMG so they can counter a jumpy is a good idea until you kill the jumpy and then you realize that you actually have other things to do in a match in order to win but you're not able to do those things because you're now ridiculously slow and pretty much limited to point defense.
What would be your strategy if the jumpy simply decides to avoid the heavy the entire match and decides to focus on everyone that isn't a heavy with an AHMG? It's not like the Sentinel is going to have the speed necessary to consistently track a jumpy Assault and having too many people switch to a Sentinel with an AHMG is a guaranteed way to lose the match you're playing.

He said there needs to be more counters yo, and have you tried a gorilla (min) sent with kincats & AHMG? Matches a scout sprint speed last time i checked, like a scout with a giant hitbox, giant profile, and a HMG. Also, i love running my turtle sent and gorilla sent.

He just now mentioned that more counters should have been implemented yet in previous posts on this thread he was defending the myofib/mass driver combo saying there are ways to counter it...as in more than one way.
I honestly feel like the majority of the people who defend the myofib/mass driver combo are people who either use the combo themselves or are people who consistently fight at range making it much easier for them to kill the jumpy while decreasing the chances of them having to deal with the jumpy in close range.
The people who get screwed the most by the myofib/mass driver combo are those who consistently fight in CQC. Those of us who consistently fight in CQC put our ***** on the line and take a lot of risks in order to accomplish what we are supposed to yet we have to deal with irrational ******** from people whenever we mention how pathetically scrubby the myofib/mass driver combo is.

Thanks for the giggle. 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.

You are playing a competitive lobby shooter and complaining because people won't give you duels at sunset with pistols and paces. At the risk of perpetuating this pointless discussion any further, when I really want to turn my back on the whole sorry mess, I feel I do need to answer at least these points.
There is a gradation of "fairness". It's said "All's fair in love and war". But I guess I would look rather to what is ethical rather than simply the subjective concept of fairness.
Yes, people who play fairly are seen as losers to a vast number of people these days, probably the majority. I count myself as one of these "losers", and quite proudly. I'd rather be a loser by playing fairly than a winner by any means available. That said, I'm hardly "losing", with close on 200m ISK and over 20m SP in only 8 months. I have 4 State LP suits paid for by earning them in CFW, and 2 State LP skins to go with them, which can only be earnt, not bought, as they're not transferable.
Yes I shoot other players in the back as they do me. Yes it's "unfair" by some sets of rules, but in warfare, it's not. Again, that saying "All's fair in love and war" comes up. But there's no ridiculous advantage here - all I have is a weapon, often a militia one, Caldari only (because that's another of the ridiculous rules I've imposed on myself) and a fleeing target, usually someone who fired at me first and then runs because I'm beating them.
I've never used REs to bait anyone. Yes, that's unfair but it's a valid tactic, scrubby though it may be. I've fallen for it many times, but have learnt to see the signs, and avoid following people for that reason.
OB? Orbital strike? Not sure what that is, but if it's an orbital strike, then as far as I can see it's unfair when it's bought with AUR, which to me contributes to the pay-to-win aspect of this game. Yes, I bought one once, to see how to deploy it. I don't think I killed anyone with it.
Yes, of course I invested SP into suits and weapons, but primarily into core skills which make all suits, weapons, modules and equipment better. Yes, I shoot starter fits, or at least I assume I do, but I wouldn't know because I don't exactly make a habit of checking first to see whether I can shoot them or not since they're usually shooting me, and if I don't shoot back, I'll die. In any case I mostly run starter MLT suits myself anyway. I find them fast, flexible, cheap (obviously) and totally adequate to what I do. I don't mind dying and have no KDR obsession like most seem to. I'm usually the one making the suicide run to take out some of the enemy camping the point when everyone else is either hiding in the shadows or sitting on a hill with a sniper rifle. You can do that quite well in a MLT suit, you know, and it costs almost nothing.
As for my ruleset "ruining" more than it helps, no, it doesn't. It actually makes me a better player than I would be if I allowed myself to follow the easy road. Players that stick to a purpose and resolutely follow a plan to excel in whatever they choose will ultimately be better than players that do FOTM or easy road. At the end of the day, when they nerf whatever is FOTM, I'll still have my skills in my chosen race and racial weaponry.
I will continue to play by my rules and leave matches whenever I encounter the sort of garbage that uses scrubby tactics. I refuse to add to their kills, at least any more than the one they get me with. They can rail against that all they like. If they nerf being able to leave matches, I'll simply stop playing. That will always be my ultimate answer to this game if it gets too ridiculous and disgusting. |

It's not like the Sentinel is going to have the speed necessary to consistently track a jumpy Assault and having too many people switch to a Sentinel with an AHMG is a guaranteed way to lose the match you're playing. And like those people who overdampened their suits, people that use three myofibs are also gimping their suit. Trust me, I run a myofib suit once in a while and it feels like I'm made out of paper, even more so than a scout.
The only people I will accept saying that stacking myofibs gimps your suit are the people who run Caldari and some Scouts.
I have seen 700+ armor Assault Dropsuits using the jumpy/myofib combo and you would have to be a fool to think that dropsuit is gimped because of stacked myofibs.

Jesus I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
Thanks for the giggle. 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. "People who play fairly" aka losers. Do you not shoot other players in the back? That would be unfair. Put an re on a wall and run around a corner to bait someone? Totally unfair. Dropping an OB? Unfair. Did you invest SP into suits and weapons? Congrats, now you can't shoot starter fits, that wouldn't be fair. Don't you see how your silly ruleset ruins more than it helps? You are playing a competitive lobby shooter and complaining because people won't give you duels at sunset with pistols and paces. At the risk of perpetuating this pointless discussion any further, when I really want to turn my back on the whole sorry mess, I feel I do need to answer at least these points. There is a gradation of "fairness". It's said "All's fair in love and war". But I guess I would look rather to what is ethical rather than simply the subjective concept of fairness. Yes, people who play fairly are seen as losers to a vast number of people these days, probably the majority. I count myself as one of these "losers", and quite proudly. I'd rather be a loser by playing fairly than a winner by any means available. That said, I'm hardly "losing", with close on 200m ISK and over 20m SP in only 8 months. I have 4 State LP suits paid for by earning them in CFW, and 2 State LP skins to go with them, which can only be earnt, not bought, as they're not transferable. Yes I shoot other players in the back as they do me. Yes it's "unfair" by some sets of rules, but in warfare, it's not. Again, that saying "All's fair in love and war" comes up. But there's no ridiculous advantage here - all I have is a weapon, often a militia one, Caldari only (because that's another of the ridiculous rules I've imposed on myself) and a fleeing target, usually someone who fired at me first and then runs because I'm beating them. I've never used REs to bait anyone. Yes, that's unfair but it's a valid tactic, scrubby though it may be. I've fallen for it many times, but have learnt to see the signs, and avoid following people for that reason. OB? Orbital strike? Not sure what that is, but if it's an orbital strike, then as far as I can see it's unfair when it's bought with AUR, which to me contributes to the pay-to-win aspect of this game. Yes, I bought one once, to see how to deploy it. I don't think I killed anyone with it. Yes, of course I invested SP into suits and weapons, but primarily into core skills which make all suits, weapons, modules and equipment better. Yes, I shoot starter fits, or at least I assume I do, but I wouldn't know because I don't exactly make a habit of checking first to see whether I can shoot them or not since they're usually shooting me, and if I don't shoot back, I'll die. In any case I mostly run starter MLT suits myself anyway. I find them fast, flexible, cheap (obviously) and totally adequate to what I do. I don't mind dying and have no KDR obsession like most seem to. I'm usually the one making the suicide run to take out some of the enemy camping the point when everyone else is either hiding in the shadows or sitting on a hill with a sniper rifle. You can do that quite well in a MLT suit, you know, and it costs almost nothing. As for my ruleset "ruining" more than it helps, no, it doesn't. It actually makes me a better player than I would be if I allowed myself to follow the easy road. Players that stick to a purpose and resolutely follow a plan to excel in whatever they choose will ultimately be better than players that do FOTM or easy road. At the end of the day, when they nerf whatever is FOTM, I'll still have my skills in my chosen race and racial weaponry. I will continue to play by my rules and leave matches whenever I encounter the sort of garbage that uses scrubby tactics. I refuse to add to their kills, at least any more than the one they get me with. They can rail against that all they like. If they nerf being able to leave matches, I'll simply stop playing. That will always be my ultimate answer to this game if it gets too ridiculous and disgusting.
Look at the ridiculous mental contortions a scrub has to go through.
Just absurd.

You don't need damage mods to be effective with the Mass Driver.
The use of myofibs does not limit your ability to increase armor repair rate nor does it limit your ability to equip Cardiac Regulators.
700+ armor assaults can still leap 20+ feet into the air at a speed faster than they can move in any other direction in the game. Armor has a very negligible impact on your jump height.

Yeah, you don't need damage mods to be effective with the Mass Driver, you need aim, because unlike other weapons (minus plasma cannon), you can't just point somewhere and it will hit, you need to estimate distance, you need to estimate the speed of the target, you need to estimate the location of the target so that you don't miss. You don't need to do that with an Assault Rifle.
Yes, the use of myofibs + the combo of 700+ armor does limit how many armor repairs or cardio regs you can put on so that argument is out of the water.
Not only does armor effect your speed, but it also affects jump height. I would be surprised if people with 3 myofibs and 700+ armor could even jump 10 feet, much less 20+.

You will feel a CONSIDERABLE difference, both in speed and jump height. Not only that, but the jump height duration is also slowed, meaning that you are more vulnerable to being hit in the air.

Are you just typing random thoughts or do you actually believe what you are typing?
People who use the myofib/mass driver combo tend to engage enemies in CQC so they do not need to track the movement of the redberry anymore than any other person fighting in CQC with any other weapon. Also, the splash damage of the mass driver and the multiple rounds one can fire in rapid succession without having to reload provides a scenario where the user does not have to be accurate; all they have to do is spam mass driver rounds in the general vicinity of the redberry.
It's pretty obvious you haven't a clue about what you are talking about.

Forgot the myos but yeah, I also use a minmando for such, adding a shotgun & MD just to troll, or galmando, cause turtles can sprint too, plus bonus too shotgun. A CQC monster, just don't go engaging anyone outside of... 10ish meters? If i use my jumpy MA i use two toxins simply because i tried the jumpy MD/PLC, not a fan, not because of self imprisonment but it just doesn't fit my playstyle.
Kinda like MA with SG isn't my playstyle but CA with SG is. I don't mind certain playstyles tweaked to what fits me usually.

It's pretty obvious you haven't a clue about what you are talking about. It is also pretty obvious that you have never used a mass driver. Even when in CQC, the mass driver does not have that large of an aoe and you still need to aim (assault mass driver excepted). Also, the splash damage is negligible to everything BUT scouts, and often times it will take 5-6 shots to take out a medium frame, and more for heavies, meaning it would take 1-2 clips just to kill an enemy. Whereas using any Rifle, it would only take maybe a quarter of a clip.

Sounds like someone needs to run a BMD on a scout. You either directly hit someone, directly hit (kill) yourself, miss entirely cause lack of splash mean dead, or get pretty good at hitting most things dead on. Including yourself.

in addition, a scrub can sometimes be found hanging out the passenger side, of his best friend's ride, trying to holler at me. Or you, I suppose. Well, at anyone really. I mean, if this is a technical definition.

You don't need damage mods to be effective with the Mass Driver. The use of myofibs does not limit your ability to increase armor repair rate nor does it limit your ability to equip Cardiac Regulators. 700+ armor assaults can still leap 20+ feet into the air at a speed faster than they can move in any other direction in the game. Armor has a very negligible impact on your jump height. Yeah, you don't need damage mods to be effective with the Mass Driver, you need aim, because unlike other weapons (minus plasma cannon), you can't just point somewhere and it will hit, you need to estimate distance, you need to estimate the speed of the target, you need to estimate the location of the target so that you don't miss. You don't need to do that with an Assault Rifle. Yes, the use of myofibs + the combo of 700+ armor does limit how many armor repairs or cardio regs you can put on so that argument is out of the water. Not only does armor effect your speed, but it also affects jump height. I would be surprised if people with 3 myofibs and 700+ armor could even jump 10 feet, much less 20+. Are you just typing random thoughts or do you actually believe what you are typing? People who use the myofib/mass driver combo tend to engage enemies in CQC so they do not need to track the movement of the redberry anymore than any other person fighting in CQC with any other weapon. Also, the splash damage of the mass driver and the multiple rounds one can fire in rapid succession without having to reload provides a scenario where the user does not have to be accurate; all they have to do is spam mass driver rounds in the general vicinity of the redberry. It's pretty obvious you haven't a clue about what you are talking about. It is also pretty obvious that you have never used a mass driver. Even when in CQC, the mass driver does not have that large of an aoe and you still need to aim (assault mass driver excepted). Also, the splash damage is negligible to everything BUT scouts, and often times it will take 5-6 shots to take out a medium frame, and more for heavies, meaning it would take 1-2 clips just to kill an enemy. Whereas using any Rifle, it would only take maybe a quarter of a clip.
I have used the mass driver before.
The moment I acquired the 'Quafe' Mass Drive i skilled operation and proficiency to level 5 and ammo capacity and rapid reload to level 3 and went to town with that thing. I stopped using it because I got more satisfaction out of using the Plasma Cannon because the Plasma Cannon requires skill whereas the Mass Driver does not.

I agree that the Plasma Cannon requires more "aiming" skill, but while the PLC has massive alpha damage, the Mass Driver does not, and the Mass Driver and Plasma Cannon both require skill, in aiming and otherwise.

Forlorn Destrier wrote:What do you all define as being "scrub"?
I ask because I am hard pressed to think of anything that should be described this way, other than a tactic that exposes you to zero risk.
I'm not asking what tactics define scrub, mind you, I'm asking the actual definition, not examples.
Most of what people call "scrub" are easy to use, hard to counter tactics. I personally don't see this as a negative - these are built into the game and therefore to me are legitimate tactics - they make me work harder to improve; they are a challenge.
Please help me understand why someone who complains about "scrub" tactics is anything other than someone who is upset that they got beat with tactics that are easy to master?
I am not a fan of the phrase "adapt or die", but to me, we should learn to counter these types of tactics. We should use them to become better - to learn new ways to engage the enemy. In terms of the easy to use, hard to counter tactics, devs put these in the game to help newbros who suck at the game feel good, and keep playing the game. This first got big with one hit kill auto aim rocket launchers in CoD. This is the exact reason why CoD became so big. It was easy for any no-skill newb to pick up and have fun with. Every FPS after has had a no-skill one hit kill type weapon. Honeslty this has been on of the issues with dust. Newbros cant compete with vets. Dust has weapons that ARE similar though. The issue is, in most other games, newbros eventually move on to other weapons as they get better. In dust, they usually do not. So we have people who have been playing for 2+ years who have never lost that newbro mentality. They are the difinition of scrubs..
