As a player w/ various alt's and over 7M SP on my main I can somewhat relate to the newbies since at the moment I'm in all militia fits with only a few core skills selected, and no weapon skills.
It's tough out there, especially since almost every match I am in is stacked with players in proto gear. I'm opposed to giving more SP to new characters; I think matchmaking should be the solution to this issue.
It won't help me, but I'm happily getting killed as I figure out what skills and suits to spec into.
As an aside, I wonder how many vets who complain about lack of competition willingly run lower grade gear to give themselves a challenge? I would probaby take this approach if I was god's gift to the gun game of Dust.

Let's be honest, you guys (and I'm not singling out the OP or any specific corp, you know who you are) have feasted mightily at the trough of easy kills for months, and I haven't heard a lot of crying for the poor, poor underskilled noobs. Anyone coming in new to Dust right now (at least in the last build, I haven't gotten a great sense of how the new build stacks up yet) is "learning to play" by being redlined, stomped into the ground and then orbital striked into oblivion, and it's rare to find anyone on the forums from a major corp who in any way thinks this is a problem. The free kills are just too delicious.
HAHA !! +1 on this!
I love how many times I've been proto stomped, redlined or steamrolled by top corps who keep running proto gear long after the point in the battle where they should realize it's no longer necessary. As you say, those free kills and god-like feelings are hard to let go I guess.... I wouldn't know, I usually run standard or militia gear only, and often get stomped for it. |
