I can't believe that the writer of this dustmerc blog is this ******* stupid. What the hell is he basing his rankings on, what a joke that blog is. The next top 8 corporations better be the best ******* corps ever because TCD has competed with every corps squads in this game and 2 out of 3 times we are always on top. An then I read that STB is ranked 10, these people must be blind. For those of you that didn't see it this is the article. http://dustmercs.blogspot.com/2012/09/power-rankings-9-tactical-combat-and.html
I guess we are underrated, we won't be for long, if anyone wants to help prove how bad ass TCD really is check us out at http://ziontcd.enjin.com/home |

how are power rankings even decided upon? and why is there a top 10 list for a game that isnt even out nor do ppl know of even 1/4 of the corps that may be potentially coming to the game?
i kinda wanna see who are the rest lol are they even 10 corps publicly recruiting on these forums?
STB @ #10 is a shock to me
@jesse my corp has also beaten alot of others on here but tbqh those arent official corp matches, randoms are involved as well so cant really take these pub games srsly when u have 12 randoms and only 4 corp mates in a match vs the same on the other side which is why these power ranking are ********
but oh well guess this blog makes no sense most times |

Agree about the ranking points. It sounds to be just opinions and point of view of GÇ£whoGÇÖs on firstGÇ¥. I do however like to see the CEO interviews which I believe if it was left at just that (no ranks attached), then this blog would have a better looking rep to the community.
The only good thing about being down is that the only direction you can go is UP^. |

Its basically a broseph party. If you are brosephs with the writer, you get broseph power.
My guess is they have plans to put betamax somewhere 2 or 3 just to give the allusion they are being objective.

I think the editor is going in order of people who will talk to him. No way to determine how good or important a corp will be in the game during this beta. |

"Our voting process is simple. We'll refer at random to Devs, CEOs and even veterans of New Eden for a list of their top ten Dust Corps without including their own. We'll then tally the votes and try to update the list monthly. If you are lucky enough to receive a vote, please do so immediately as we will only allow 24 hours before we move on to another voter."
http://dustmercs.blogspot.com/2012/09/1st-annual-corp-power-rankings.html
So in actuality the ranking goes up, so STB got the most votes, so they went first, then ZIonTCD or at least that's how I think it works. Could be totally arbitrary, who knows. |

Though its not for sure and I can state that I finished my interveiw via email on Firday night. I am not against this and Glad DUSTERS are doing it despite the attached ranks (because no one will ever agree to them). So I thank DUSTERs for that. |

Corp rankings at this stage is a little "odd" if you ask me.
There is no way to accurately assess how powerful any Corp is until you can pit 1 Corp against another.
At present, I can only assume that these rankings are based on notoriety or how loud/ active they are on the forums... Which is just stupid.
On a side note, the little quote that was used to basically call a certain individual (It's pretty obvious who it is) a hypocrit was taken completely out of context.
Just in case anyone was wondering, the statement was made as a response for someone claiming that joining a said group would be the chance to join one of the ONLY Dust Beta Corps. If you think about it, then it makes sense, as Corps coming from EVE onto Dust have probably been around for months or years before we even got onto the Beta.
In my eyes, it's pretty obvious the person whom was being interviewed is trying to take some sort of moral high ground. Using a statement out of context to try and win is a little pathetic if you ask me. |

Yeah, Top 10 should be seen as even across the board, not in countdown form like we are waiting to see who is No.1.
No one has proven themselves top dog in Dust yet, regardless of how many members may be in the Leaderboards. The only true decider is the Corp who wins the most Corp Batlles. PERIOD! Not even Faction Warfare will be a true indicator.
Bide our time, guys.........It will be awesome when we can see who REALLY is No.1 out there! |

why is it frustrating? because some site didnt acknowledge ur worth? sing ur praises? wonder why i dont go around flaunting how awesome i think my corp is or where i think we stand in rankings? because no need to fuel egos, we let our game speak for itself and thats the right approach. So what if some site didnt put u where u think u should be? use that as fuel to motivate u to work harder and prove yourselves as top dog. No amount of forum posting about where u think u should be would change that, only thing that matters is how u do against other corps.
Wanna know whats fun and interesting at the same time? alot of u guys are claiming to be top when there are alot of corps here already that just dont openly recruit or shown themselves cuz they dont have the tags in their name or made a recruitment thread. Wait till corps are dropped in the next build to finally start seeing the names that have been consistently atop end game stats to see the corps they roll with, u'll see alot more than the 4-5 or so corps on here that have recruitment threads
Fun times are ahead........stay tuned!

there are more than 10 u just dont see the majority of them on the forums here posting recruitment threads and most arent easily recognizable cuz they dont have STB/843 - EV in their names

our power rankings are conjecture, and its certainly not meant to insult or demean anyone or their corp. consider it a preseason ranking if you will. something to promote discussion. our writers have been in the beta non-stop and we've all played with any and everyone. we've taken EvE history into account and you'll see that reflected in the rankings.
also keep in mind that the rankings are fluid and ever-changing. Rome wasnt built in a day. there will inevitably be corps who are prominent on the forums and will vanish from the rankings altogether. there is little doubt corps we've never heard of will shoot up the rankings when the real bullets start flying. this is the nature of trying to predict anything. we'll be happy to reflect on the list later to see just how wrong we were.
as someone mentioned earlier, our team isnt perfect. we voted amongst ourselves and came up with the initial list. this wont ever happen again as the voting from henceforth will be the responsibility of the Community. please be a help to us and submit your names to our email [email protected] so that we can refer to you when voting time comes. as we said before, we'll especially refer to CEOs, DEVs and veteran players. we wont spam you, all we want are your opinions on positions 1-10.
if you think your ranking is too low? Act. this wont be some popularity contest and a who's who list of forum corps. we want this list to reflect reality and tell the truth about the power structure of the ground troops in new eden. |

I would beg to differ on your 2 out of 3, then again, we only have squads to go on. The best corps. are the ones that fly under the radar and do their business out of public view and not on the forums.
I respect most of the corps. in DUST and hopefully when corp. battles comes (think this next build) we can measure our beta Epeens.

tend to agree here. i've played with you more than once jesse and i've found you a good player but corps aren't able to play together exclusively yet so wins and losses are skewed. battles right now have told us very little. we're still in the first minute of day one in the history of dust. |
