....It pains me to see this game end THIS WAY.
I can only agree with everything you said, except for the fact that I haven't experienced much of the way the game used to be. I only really played for less than a year so I'm only now getting my skills up to a level where I could have been reasonably proficient, but since I play solo, I don't have a chance against the squadders and qsyncers who always seem to inhabit the other team. Plus the call to "Burn all your officer, pro and isk" seems to have turned everyone into mindless killers who often just rush at you shooting whatever they are brandishing, without any thought for the expense.
I, on the other hand, have only just reached the level where I can use precious (to me) officer gear and I know I'll just lose the lot in days if I were to try to use it, with all this mindless killing going on. To me, that's the sort of mentality that really does ruin the game, and people who think it's great have such alien thinking that I just can't bring myself to try to fight them. The nature of a game where everyone is just running around mindlessly killing everything in sight actually is quite sickening. I find myself leaving more and more battles because of my gut reaction to this sort of thing, when I fully expected to be playing more and more, at the level I've only really just reached.
I think it's really sad. |

Yes, it's precisely because "Most veterans are trying to blow through their remaining isk." that this is occurring. Rather than sane, reasonable, ENJOYABLE gameplay, we non-vets have to deal with the vets just killing everything in sight. Yes, it would be best if they can fight each other, but ultimately, they end up fighting people like me, solos, noobs, just wiping the floor with them.
Squadding and qsyncing mean that the vets are often on the one team and the other team is filled with people like me. I only solo, DON'T and WON'T squad because of the mentality which seems now to pervade the game, with squadders and qsyncers now just roving gangs that seem to take extreme pleasure from killing everyone, destroying the game for anyone else. |

LOL KILLZ wrote:Yup proto stomping everywhere. But it's fun AF when you have a competent squad with you. Solo play if borderline suicidal at this point. If you needs a squad member I play every afternoon and will continue to do so till shutdown then I'm moving on to EvE till Nova gets released.
The problem with this is that there are some, like me, who WILL NOT squad, directly because squadding means participating in this killfest, which I find detestable. It's not a matter of "gitting gud", I simply find the whole thing objectionable, and it's taking over the game. I'm finding myself playing less and less as a result, when I had hoped to be playing right up to the end. |

I might just go back to sniping. I started off in this game as a sniper, as that was all I knew from previous games I've played. It was always my favourite role, but sucked in this game.
Now, though, with the last few weeks of the game upon us and the whole point of the game lost to all this ridiculous gameplay, it might be worth revisiting sniping and seeing if there's anything I might have learnt in the meantime.... |
