Wrong

IWS - Betamax or at least used to be, now in a new corp which is prob in some way betamax and they made it so awox wont happen to them while they do it to everyone else
Caz - CRONOS
Jenza - Betamax

Noone cared about the districts they would take because they would lose them eventually to far better corps except the only way they could hold onto them is by awoxing and being super secret awesome spies while saying 'AFKing is hurting the game and is bad and driving new players away' while PC has stopped recruitment for every single corp looking to take part in PC in someway and every single new player is now a spy or labeled a spy because he will auto awox in a PC battle so new players are also getting shafted

Yay CPM way to break the game you represent

That Ric Barlom style, man, is so good to read. Dude, you rock and are the best poster. <3

I'm trying to have a proper discussion here and then something like this happens. I mean my God, I don't know how old you are or where you're from but I suggest you take some writing lessons to get your point across just a little bit better! The second thing is, and I don't think I'm the only one here, that when someone talks to me like that, the first thing I think is that the guy dislikes me! I sure as hell don't like you!

it nothing against you personally rick other than on here i have never seen you in dust. but jenza openly admited to having resources in chronos dedicated to infiltrating peoples corps to flood enemies into the friendly side...this is disgusting its a stain ..and if you wanna wonder whats happening to crhonos its nothing against you ..and its nothing against most of your vets..but fllth has stained your name. i hope every corp in dust gets a chance to teach you the price of such trickery. im sorry that your corps actions have resulted in this ...makes me very happy i applied to the imps instead of chronos. as they would never stoop to this. and like i said i do have people in beta max i have great respect for ..and thats why its sad. and yes all i can do is break it up a bit with periods. this is not school nor is it business.

PC barely been out a week and this dude is already crowning his alliance lol. So they grabbed up some land that allot of other notable corps didn't care to grab, guess that makes them the best! Lol.

bet the entire cronos alliance stayed up late just to grab those districts

just worth mentioning, Cronos actually has 36% right now

So you went to the supermarket and bought the last gallon of milk before me, I guess that means your bones are stronger then mines and you would beat me in a fight "tough guy" and you are automatically winning even though there is still half gallons of low fat milk still available and that's what I prefered. It kills me to see these alliances beating on there chest claiming to be the best because they grabbed some districts before anyone else. Did it ever cross your mind that some corps don't want to hold all that land while starting out?

Moving this from General Discussions to the War Room.

I honestly never put to much stock into the whole land grabbing fiasco because I know everything is still premature now. Things will really get interesting once more war is waged. That's when we will know what alliances can hold there own and which ones can't. Take em all take more districts I am just more interested in the hardcore aspect you know imposing our will and taking other competitive alliances district's. Nothing really interesting popped off in PC yet but it should be a really interesting summer.

Hell yeah! That's beautiful!

Truth be told, the need to grab 80 districts during 5 minutes is simple. An alliance of 2k players either takes a big turf and narrows down, or takes a small turf and is confined to expanding very slowly. Any other decision would have been worse.

CRONOS hate also comes from the aggressive expansion behind attacking all neighbors to keep them occupied and weak.

Only time will show if it was sustainable. Our economy is now strong and thriving, but I'm sure there will be a healthy amount of wars during the summer. Just keep throwing all you have at us, war is needed for dust to grow in publicity.

Oh yeah, Core, it's a dirty tactic no question about it! That being said though, CRONOS isn't the only guys who have used this tactic, nor is every corp in CRONOS using this tactic either but fact is that CRONOS is the most talked about and hated. And why is that? Because we control the most districts, bro. Let's be honest here.

Now everyone knows I live above the arctic circle, which makes me a tough guy by nature, so a dude running his mouth online doesn't really make my ******* itch that much at all (once you've seen one of them "super packs" of big wolves passing through the town it kind of puts stuff into perspective for you), but because it's the hot topic I'm gonna give you my thoughts on it right now.

Problem is that people are abusing the word exploiting. CRONOS is just using the tools that are in the game, they're rubbish and I think everyone in the alliance agrees with it that they need to change, until then, well - game on.

Oh wait. Where is the AWOX button? I R NUB, soz I dun know wear it iz. Oh right, it IS NOT a game mechanic!

Don't care about CRONOS or PC. I want to hear more about "super packs" of big wolves. How many run in them Ric? Is your town like the one pictured in "30 Days of Night"? (all snow with road thru center). Have you ever hidden a body out in the tundra?
Are you married or do the men use each other like women?

clearly someone has never heard of emergent gameplay. Anyway, find the CCP post that explicitly calls it an exploit and ill stop.

Ric, you were looking for an answer as to the hate. Here's your answer. People circumventing a lack of game mechanics to ruin the gameplay experience -> while flaunting it.
