I've been noticing that enemy targets are more that capable of drilling me with a 60 round mag while we're both running and activly engaging each other. I find it a little rediculous that such a large scale FPS with projected deep impacts on the greatest MMO even has something as cheap as an aim assist option. I understand you at CCP don't want new players feeling alienated and run down if they cant hit what they shoot at. Its just so strong that I get demolished if I dont land every single round on someone's head. I don't use aim assist because it just takes away from skill and makes it a game of who can fire the most rounds in the shortest possible time. I would like to see this worked out and either fixed to make the benefits negligible, or eliminated all together because it exists only as an exploit at this point.

Well, after using it for a match I have to stick with my guns as I was shooting an enemy spawn transponder when an enemy happened to spawn on it. Of course more than a handful of rounds quickly depleted his shields but then as he JUMPED backwards away from the transponder the gun followed him resulting in his death obviously. Its quite the handy tool to have at mid range as it deadens the effects of the recoil, but when it moves over large numbers of mils to track a target at point blank its just an exploit.

I have aim assist on and I still can't hit the broad side of a barn with most of the weapons in Dust unless I'm really trying. So I don't really agree.

And now you have experienced Games Made by CCP Rule Number 1: Everything will perform differently for every single individual users, and any attempts to correct this will result in further issues.

Honestly, that happens in many other games, but it seems like the Python that CCP prefers to work with for their backend is really ornery.
