DUST Search - Crutches and wheelchairs.

Crutches-Some people sit in vehicles because they suck at the fps part of this game. So they hide in tanks and dropships and never cap an objective. They are the people who are to scared to get out and cap a clone reserve unit if given the opportunity. These people are just as bad as the people that run and gun and never cap an objective.

To clarify I know not all vehicular manslaughter players are guilty of this. No need to spam this thread about how you are not this person. Let your in game actions do the talking.

Wheelchairs-Sorry guys, I'm a dedicated logi player so I suck at killing and I just went 2-30. This is not a legit excuse. Just because you are in a wheelchair doesn't mean you have to suck it up. If you already suck at basketball then being in a wheelchair isn't going to change much.

Whats your point crimson?

If a corp has to many people that need crutches and wheelchairs their W/L ratio will take a hit. Once a W/L ratio and corp battles are added to the leader boards, then you will see what I mean.

I know there are variables as far as teamwork and tactics go. That still does not excuse having these people in your corp. From a business stand point of course.

People posting about others who suck at FPS or whatever are just being pompous and lacking class. Prideful people who are bad at people skills are drama queens begging for any corp they join to implode. If you're good at something, then congrats. Welcome to the club. But making up smug names to label others who you feel are inferior based on your criteria is just acting like a douche. I don't know you, and I'm not calling you anything based off one post, but this sort of thinking is counterproductive and rude. Edit: Expanding on this.. are combat medics supposed to be the top gunners too? Are logistics pilots supposed to have medic skills? Are snipers supposed to feed everyone also? It seems you over-value the foot infantry to the point of offending everyone else. I have a postive KDR despite not being a console veteran, but if I sucked horribly, yet could fly and fit a dropship like nobody else in the game, would I be a weak link if I die due to a Proto AR guy? Hopefully you get my point.

Sorry if it offends you. I didn't make up any smug names, it was a metaphor. Also not being prideful, just discussing potential recruitment tactics. This thread was more a fair warning to corp leaders/officers. If you recruit to many players that are handicapped in one way or another it will hurt your W/L ratio. Its hard to fit/fly a vehicle? You can be bad at it but its not really hard imo. I did it last build and it was EZ mode. Just fly all over the map smashing people. Its not hard to fly around smashing people and I would much rather have a dropship pilot that knows how to kill people outside of their vehicle. Tell me this, if I have 20 million skill points invested in vehicles, pilot suit, proto large turrets, proto small turrets, max shield & armor skills, etc.. do you think it would be reasonable to do well in the outside? Should I dump 1/2 of that into stuff I rarely ever use to make you happy? Should I spend hours a day practicing for side skills instead of improving my main? Do you have Anti-vehicle skills maxed out? It's only 1 Million for a Proto SL. If you want to advise future corp leaders, you may want to advise them to respect different roles, and be glad there are those out there willing to train in different things than you have. Last time I looked, Pro AR guys were getting manhandled out there by vehicles left and right, and needing other AV guys to come save them.

If I need jump in a tank/dropship for a second to support the team I do. If I hack a dropship in the middle of the map, I take it to a dropship pilot on my team. In the long term the corp with the best killers/teamwork/adaptability will be the most dominate on dust. Not the mixed skill clans that respect different roles. What do you think everyone means when they say adapt or die... Ok, I'm glad you agree, given that adaptability is having skill in various things. I don't disagree with you that Assault isn't important.. it's key for capping objectives. Yet, kills matter less than doing things that make you win. Sometimes kills are what make you win, sometimes they are a distraction from the objective. Your OP came off very onesided on Assault, and less on a whole team that works. Btw, I'm curious.. what are dropship pilots on your team doing without a dropship? And why would they want some random one found lying about? I'd never seriously fly in someone else's discarded dropship. It might get from A-Z fine, but never in combat. Vehicle fits are not all the same, and will get even more complicated as more things come out. In EVE "fail fit" is a very common expression for newbies and just plain bad setups. Dual repping a dropship is one example.
