I saw an imperfect play solo on a server today.

He was running around advanced armour and kit, then when he died twice he seemingly decided dieing was too expensive and started sniping.

To give him his due he was an excellent sniper, I think he finished at the top of his team 24/2 I think. That being said his side did lose. I can't help but feel he might have actually won the battle if he himself had gotten stuck in and not been so worried about his K/D ratio.

A lot of the 'elite' corporations in Eve or Dust look for high K/D ratios, and if you somehow don't look good wit hem, you're worthless, despite circumstances behind it.

Just look at Eve online and the current stagnancy of nullsec. Most of those alliances are too afraid of losing their ratios to get into good fights.

The Imperfects is one of the best corps out there. That is a known fact. However, there are certain reasons why. Imperfects have people specialized into every role. They know their strengths and weaknesses. And each of their players is above average (except for some, mentioning them would be mean Smile

).

This creates the Imperfect effect. It's been called by other names in others games, like MAG, or Killzone, or Battlefield, or EvE, and Halo as well.

Basically, the Imperfects affect the balance of the game as they are. A compact, compressed, collection of some of the best players in the game. Usually when this happens, the major corp/clan is hated, and admired, and more and more "noobs" start piling in, hoping to cash in on the fame. Individually, their best players have skill, even if they don't work as a team, they can still hold up. Personally, I think this is a negative thing, you want competition, yet you have the competition join you. If the "talent" was spread around, more competitive games could be played, better pub matches and overall corps. But don't worry, the players are learning. Quickly, other corps will rise.

And then, sooner or later, it will all fall apart.

Wishful thinking? Why does it have to fall apart. Why can't it keep expanding forever and ever. Sure some want competition but hey complete and utter control and dominance does have a nice ring to it too.

Edit-- Not everyone good is asked to join and ALL come of their own choosing. If those players felt they could do well in their previous corps and had a purpose and a vision maybe they wouldn't leave in the first place as some have not already. Just saying perhaps its best to build your own brand than try to somehow take pot shots at ours

Yes, and if you keep it together, you get the current snorefest that is eve nullsec ATM.

My eve main is in corp in eve considered to be some of the best. In fact my main is a top rated toon on battle clinic and I get 200 plus kills a month and rarely lose a ship. We take fights we really should never win, because they are good fights. 0.0 has never and will never be the peak of pvp, they're not concerned about k/d ratios they are just concerned about winning, often not cos ships cost money, but because losing in Eve means they lose something meamingful... income mainly. If you poke an alliance in null sec over a tech or Neo moon, they will come to defend it. If you just roam up to 0.0 and offer no long term threat, they will not bother with you as you can not hurt their cash flows. You can hardly say that PL are scared of a fight, yes they "blob" like the best of them, but numbers in eve count more than tactics.
