lets be real PRO is gonna provide us with alot of content just due to their size
CBJ recruitment spam "join us or prepare for war" is hilarious
and a corp like PRO will be hard to get rid of due to their size they can easily bounce back so i can see them gettin farmed alot, regain some districts by attrition......get farmed by every corp that got pissed off by CBJ constant spammin :P

So they will be like the cockroaches of DUST? sounds about right.

Bump. :)

I fear IMP's unhealthy fixation towards us is providing the audience a reason to think there is a hidden affiliation. :)

It's okay we know you have a little romance going, we don't mind as long it stays out of sight

you scare me

Honestly this is all under the assumption that PRO will even be involved in Planetary Conquest. Sure it's a great way to make money but that's about it. It has no affect on SOV, and it doesn't take place in NULL Sec.

The biggest advantage for PRO I think, would be in PvE. Namely Drone Infestations. With the sheer number of PRO members, they'd be able to maintain a competitive edge ISK wise while avoiding Competitive game play which would also reduce the risk of them losing money to other Corporations. As it is now, they're only "forced" to fight in Planetary Conquest and Faction Warfare.

PRO currently has a bad reputation for two reasons.

A.) The general lack of skill that most of their members seem to exhibit. Which is due to the fact that most of PRO's member base is comprised of EXTREMELY new recruits. That isn't to say that they're filled with Bad players, there are quite a few decent PRO players, they're just hidden by the massive amounts of terrible ones. PRO used to be a pretty tough contender, if i recall correctly, during the Closed Beta. You know... those dark ages everyone seems to have forgotten about and learned nothing from?

B.) The Spamming. Using Local Chat to recruit and spamming mails to everything in local has caused a lot of hate to come PRO's way. Honestly I'm not sure why though. It's not like you can't get rid of the mail, or block the guy sending it. And hardly anyone talks in Local anyway. Gotta admit though that period where that guy with the long speech would spam it every 5 min. was annoying but that seems to have stopped.

My point is that none of those matter unless they're competitive. They don't lose anything by being hated. So why bother hating them? That is all...

Keep the faith.

So we will relagate them to carebear status? Works for me, kinda make me wonder what CBJ thinks of that better to be a god among cuddly bears than dinner for the wolves.

Either you're stupid, or you're trolling.
Both of which I would say earn you the fail sticker on your dropsuit.
What he was probably saying is that the newbies will do PvE drone infestations while the good players go on corp matches and show you how its done.

I support Cat Merc and I am by no means his alt.

Oh you're so silly alter ego, go back to your cave.

Thank you sir. I had almost completely given up on the community. I don't usually respond to these threads, but your comment has illicited a response.

We are bad in pvp right now, we are terrible. It is embarassing, but we aren't in it to win for now. We are concentrating on getting our newbros trained and familiarized and I can't begin to explain how difficult it is with the numbers we have and more joining everyday. It is incredibly frustrating to organize and mobilize on this scale, but we are getting there. I don't gauge our strength on how we operate now, because many of us are just now starting. I gauge our strength on what we can be. Now we are 2200 scrubs in STD gear, soon we will be pros with the gun game we have been lacking and we will be in PRO gear.

This is not a threat, I wish you all the best of luck in planetary conquest. You will not be facing the PXRXO you are familiar with in ambush and corp battles. You will be facing us at our best, I promise not to disappoint you in battle.

Severance Pay out.

In all seriousness (since you actually responded this way instead of toting the company line), do you plan on actually weeding out those that cant cut it or still run with what you have? There is a difference between potential and just plain bad.

You are also going to have a tough hill to climb in gaining any type of respect given the negative reputation of your leader from MAG days.

I am not familiar with his reputation in MAG. To be honest, it doesn't matter to me. The way he conducts himself in chat and commands respect is well noted in my opinion. The man speaks with great passion and drive, this is something I respect greatly. I don't know the person everyone keeps talking about, because the contra you detest and tne contra I play with are 2 different men.

When he hired me, I asked him to present an example of the corp's ability to organize. He sent me the standard hiring packet. He and the hiring packet were both direct and succinct. My decision to join was a nobrainer and I stand by it.

Not by any means trying to undermind anyone else, I am sure Imp, IE, RND, and Unreal etc.. All have fine capable men as ceos, but Contra seems to be on the ball and I haven't seen/heard anything that would convince me otherwise.

Severance Pay out.

Im here because of......*crickets chirp*

God damnit, moon cricket bob out.

Ooooh!
Crickets!
Yum!

Cat Merc, out.

I aint fraid of no kitter kats.

Have you heard of taxes? Everybody counts. Everybody has a purpose. Some of the people who are "just plain bad" who wear the name while blasting drones in PvE still contribute to the corp.
