The only thing stopping you from coordinating with the rest of your team is the rest of your team. I often see people in team chat begging people to squad up. If there isn't an existing squad go make your own. Chances are you'll pick up at least one or two like minded hobo's. Who knows you might even pick up a good squad of your own to roll against. It's not a perfect solution but it's (usually) better than ragequitting a match imho.

The only people I hear asking for a squad are people who sound like 10-12 year old kids. No thanks, just hearing them speak grates my ears.

Call it what you wants but it's pretty simple. Who wants to play in a game were you have no chance of winning? Maybe if all the corps I played against didn't spawn camp I wouldn't care, but right now they seek out the spawn point (the one and only one) and then proceed to camp the whole area around it and I die on spawn before I can run 10 feet. Or maybe if I am lucky they are around the terrain and I get to run 50 feet to the nearest cover and die on my way. Trying to fight your way out is impossible due to there having better weapons and gear and even if I use the same gear it will be less effective because of there bonuses.

This is the equivalent of me trying to fight a null sec player in eve online who has more experience in PVP, better ships, all T2 and a team to back him up if I can even possibly take him out. Why would I take that fight?

Are you afraid your going to lose your K/D or something because you will have to go against similar qualifications in players?

Another option would be to have a tiered system were people play based on SP/time in the game. So someone with 5000 matches and Proto gear isn't getting matched up against someone with 100 matches and militia gear. Doesn't that makes sense for player retention?

Might I suggest you start a character this coming weekend and go up against some squads/corps of 4-5 players and see how well you do even with your experience in the game. I without that experience (and many other people I am sure) do even worse. Now when I am not going against a squad/corp guess what... I am in the top 3-5 (most of the time top 3) and at worst I am in the top 10. Big difference in WP, big difference in the amount of fun I have!

At this rate I might as well as just max out every week as quickly as possible and not play at all until I get max skills in a few suits. No thanks will just go to another game or go play Eve online. At least in Eve online you aren't forced into playing against superior players (there is things to do besides PVP).

It's bad enough I have to go up against people with more skill, better guns/suits/ect... But I don't want to go up against a group of them!

If they want to coordinate and be in a group like that they should have to wait longer so they play against a equally matched team.

The solution to this is a more robust matchmaking system, which CCP have already said they're working on. Right now we're all playing in the same areas of the game, but most of the higher-level player Corps will be hanging out in Planetary Conquest when that releases, so that'll take care of part of the issue.

I was going to respond to this but I just can't stop laughing about my precious k/d ratio. I run a logibro, the only thing I get jealous of is the size of someone elses needle. If I'm shooting things I'm clearly not doing my job. The K/D ratio is for the other guys.

Yah. Pub stomping is boring and lame for most of the guys who do it too. I usually roll with my corp, but it's not fun when the enemy gets red lined in the first few minutes of a match. It is more fun to play with friends, and every once in awhile we get some good matches in. Sometimes people are lame and go all-out (I had a game tonight where the other side was using officer gear 0_0) btw officer is better than proto... But most of the time we can just stick to STD or MLT and have some fun matches.

Sometimes we queue sync against each other too. That way we have one of our teams on each side. It makes it a lot more fun. I'm sure that the solo players enjoy having decent squads on both sides too. For the most part, they can run around and do their thing and solo fight other players on different parts of the map.

Oh also, if you're in ambush and the enemy is camping the only spawn point, hit square instead of x. You'll spawn randomly like usual.

Also, grab some drop uplinks. They help a lot.

And joining a corp helps a lot too. You can learn a lot in corps.

edit: there are some corps that are training corps only. You can join them and play with peeps there, and it is expected that you will leave and join another corp at some point. Training corps are like NPC corps in terms of what it looks like on your "record". Staying in a training corp and moving on is not corp hopping at all.
