If CCP doesn't take this into account then I have a feeling this game will live a very short life on PS3 and never make it to the PS4/Orbis (whatever they call it.

What CCP doesnt get is nerfing weapons is not the solution to fix a broken or inexistant matchmaking system. If CCP starts to get noobs involved they need a nice place where the noobs can thrive. There are so many solutions to this.

For example: Create a zone where the DS and Weapon levels can be maximum 2. This would enable the pros to play, minus their precious proto gears. Another option would be to actually have a match making system in place where the matchmaking is donebased on the skill levels and not just a random orgy.

You cannot have the RPG element in place and pit high skilled players against noobs.

I very much agree with you!

Certainly the best solution is to match players of similar level of play with others in the same level. Most MMOs I've played do exactly that. CCP is going to need to keep everyone happy , both the newbies and the experienced (high level) vets. Mixing them both in the same match is a poor solution IMHO, equalizing weapons/gear/etc for all is a poor solution IMHO...the best way to do it is to set up matches in such a way where same level players are pitted against same level players (or close to).

I personally would rather see it done in a way that certain battles are only available for each level of player. Some kind of auto-matching system might be OK too I guess although it's not my first choice. I've seen some suggestions for having mixed matches where both sides have equal numbers of low-levels and high-levels and I get the thinking of that but I think the reality of it would be a disaster.

Whatever is done in the end I'm sure CCP has considered all things and will implement a satisfactory solution. Well....at least I hope so! One good thing about a game like this is that if one system is implemented and proves to be a problem they can make changes at any time to try out something new. One of my favorite aspects of an MMO is the constant evolution of the game allows much more freedom than the average console game.

This should be mostly fixed by CCP actually implementing Lowsec/Faction Warfare and then Nullsec. We won't be here farming you guys for SP very often if we have other things to do. Until then the OP and you should work on your core fps skills. You shouldn't be emptying clips with no effect. There are generally enough bullets in every current weapon to kill any other player if you hit with enough of them. You guys are both missing way too much. Also - Kite (run from them, shoot, repeat) geared players to the best of your ability. Expecting to go 1v1 with vets in black suits is just bad theory. Use angles and terrain. Find a random blueberry and stick to his shoulder. Try to die together. Repeat. P.S. We never stack with the intention of farming people, it's always to fight each other or just random luck. It's just 50/50 whether we get the opposing teams or not. We like fighting each other much more than fighting you tbh.
