I've been around a long time here, and I've seen most of these "big name" guys play, and I've watched their youtube videos. They're above average FPS players, that's all. Becoming an above average FPS player in game requires basically one thing: experience. The more you play, the closer you're going to get to their level. In the next year most of them are, at best, going to get incrementally better. Afterall, it's just an FPS, it's not exactly rocket science. It's a fairly straightforward sort of skillset. I don't say that to be an *******, but let's be realistic here. It's fun to poke and prod each other on these forums, but when the rubber actually hits the road and people are playing the final game, surely they know all of this.

It's clear it's why you guys get so much hate. The implications of what you are doing ruins their little gamer fantasies that they've constructed.

I understand your trolling, and your basically targeting the L33T players.

However, if gonna do it at least do it right man. Go after the imbalance of Passive skills and gear... not experience. I really don't understand your point with whole experience thingy.

Are saying the MLG pros are so good because of raw talent and they don't need experience Question

or

Are saying anybody can be a pro. They just need experience Question

Personally, I think your looking at whole Vet vs Noob wrong, but then again you are obviously trying to provoke a reaction.

This made lol because a nerdy guy in one of my classes said something very similar. He said, "Basketball is just about angles and curve charts. Its's a fairly straightforward and easy".

Your right a FPS is basically pointing and shooting. You just came off kind of nerdy. Lol

You telling me you guys actually sweat 158,000 ISK? I crash dropships worth more than that for fun. I mean hey, don't get me wrong, it's a pretty funny mistake, but only worth mentioning because it's a good story. It's not like we're talking about Billions of ISK here.

Why don't you put it up again if its so meager and your're so sure of PRO, after all everyone else beside PFB would struggle for it right? Awful quiet all of sudden....chirp chirp chirp. I would assume it's because if they WIN, they win what is for them "pocket lint". If they LOSE some other corp who would struggle making that kind of money gets what is, for them, a big payday. The risk/reward doesn't make sense from their perspective.

The risk/reward doesn't make sense from their perspective. You mean potentially crippling us, or humbling us, or putting us in our place, or simply demonstrating that Joe's Legendary FPS skills can turn the tides of battle aren't reason enough? Man you really should encourage your "friend"(lapdog seems more appropriate) to stay off forums and let damage control be handled by the real leaders of your organization. You can talk about risk/reward seems to me im not the one making statements and unwilling to put ISK on the line to back them up What makes you think anyone cares whether you get "humbled" or not? I agree with you that Joe seems to enjoy being flippant and irritating some of you little specialized corps, but I find it entertaining. The reality is, when it comes down to 8v8, at best, any 1 corp vs another is gonna basically be a 50/50 coin flip sort of situation. That's best case scenario. The best pro could hope for is to get their very best guys online and fighting your best, but the difference in corp makeup/approach means that even with that scenario, you guys will have the advantage. Your corp is so small that your guys at this point are much more prepared for very small specialized battles. That's your territory and it would be foolish to pretend otherwise. Why would a good leader wage a battle that's pitched in favor of the opponent? I doubt you guys would be willing to fight PRO at 15 simultaneous battles for 20 MIL each, would you?

I guess I'll take it as a compliment though. I think however, that you miss the point of my 50/50 statement. I said AT BEST an 8v8 is a coin flip scenario. Put two great 8 man teams up against each other and who wins will come down to fairly random and hard to define variables. Anyone being honest would agree that your corp performs at a reasonably high skill level. So, even assuming that PRO could field an equal team of 8 to your own, they would still only be looking at, in reality, a 50/50 shot of winning. Lastly, if you think Subdreddit has any hand in PRO's decision making, you haven't done your proper spai work. Believe it or not, but Subdreddit is not a major player in TEST politics. We are mostly a bunch of console FPS grunts, just like most of you guys. As long as we aren't stepping directly on the toes of our Eve side alliances we are free to do whatever the hell we want, as is PRO. No one tells PRO what they can do or say, that's part of the beauty of TEST. I know from the outside it probably looks like we are some sort of borg-like entity, but in reality our strength comes from the very opposite qualities. Contrabanjoe and his PRO boys are a giant travelling circus, for better or worse. Telling those guys what to do would be like trying to herd cats man.

If you want to hold even a single system you're going to need to set timers for 250 districts. That's over 10 timers per hour. Maybe other corps have no intention of actually holding a decent amount of Sov, and thus they wont need 100s of guys on at all times, that's their prerogative. That doesn't mean other corps don't have bigger ambitions.

Your assumption seems to be that the corps that are populated mostly by closed beta FPS veterans will somehow continue to improve to the same degree as a corp consisting mostly of players who have been playing for a few weeks. I'm not at all convinced that this is a good assumption to make. It's going to come down to their ability to organize long term, as well as how the game ends up being designed. Just because someone is new now, doesn't mean they will be new forever.

Wait for it... wait for it :wink: The bravado of some of these corps is fairly amusing. I think they actually believe that their corps are packed full of hundreds of MLG FPS gods.

Ok, I'm just gonna come right out and ask... is this a parody account, or is this guy for real? I mean, everyone on this forum operates at about a 6 or 7 on the troll scale, but this dude is at a constant 11. It's admittedly somewhat entertaining at times, but after awhile I start to wonder if I'm not falling victim to the gamer version of Poe's Law.

However, I'm not so nerdy that I would compare the skills required to play Dust 514 to the level of skills required to be a great basketball plars. I mean, come on. Being the best Dust 514 player is like being the best American Football player in Sweden.

Really? Thats just laziness. Anyway, congratulations PFBHz, this week, you will eat only the finest bacon From what I understand, PRO's members list won't load AT ALL. Which doesn't surprise me considering it takes about 10-15 minutes to load my own corp's list, and we've only got 600 members.
