Imperfects are really skilled at this game, they would have you think they are just inherently better than you.
"We only play to the daily cap ect ect"
Just take a look at the leaderboards, they own about 5-10% of the top 1,000 players, and all of the big names have put in 100's or 1000's of hours of gameplay in the closed beta. They had the same top slots in the closed beta, it's pretty clear the people who play the most tend to be the best.
Obviously there is no fault in that, it's an amazing game and I play it as much as I can personally, you just have to understand the game rewards you with more skills, isk, and actual player developed skill by playing the game more than other people. It's not a fair competition if you can't put in the same amount of time, and it was never meant to be.
There is nothing about the Imperfects that make them unbeatable. Their current dominance is because they were the most set up and skilled Corporation for the closed beta. They understood how the game worked and used the best tactics to win (dropships FTW). They won the Tournament, and naturally attracted the attention of anyone who wanted to play for the best Corporation. That let them recruit the prime talent.
Now that they lost their first Corporation match to Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunters, and it's finally proven they are not the Immortals everyone (and themselves although I think mostly ironically) had painted them to be I hope we see other groups attract more attention.
Edit:
Just remember newberries you playing a squad of Imperfects is like a middle school basketballer taking on Micheal Jordan. It's just not going to be sporty, don't feel bad though you were playing ******* Micheal Jordan. As you get your skills up and learn how the game works, well you will still lose. It won't be quite as bad though, maybe like playing Shaq.
If you want to get as good as them you have to start somewhere, they already have 10-100x the game experience on you and probably know the gear and can use and afford better stuff than you. If you can't handle that then it's not the game for you. If that makes you want to get better, then start putting in the time and learn the game mechanics and systems. One of the best things you can do to learn how to be better is observe how better players are killing you, or managing their presence on the battlefield. |
