Hi CCP!

I'm been cruising around Academy for a while now, teaching new players the importance of running AV gear, and while driving supertanks in Academy has been effective for that, I don't imagine it's the intended function of this game mode.

Can you do SOMETHING to lock me out of Academy mode? Limit it to militia at the very least? I am regularly going 40-0 and making enough ISK to fund the next alt I take through the Academy system.

My corp, First IMPressions, is at the top of the KDR leaderboard now and I'm looking to take over the individual KDR board as well, as an indication of how broken this is.

Thanks,

Mith

Yeeeaaaa exploiting it isn't going to help anyone you know.

Nice way of turning the noobs away, keep it up.

If you keep throwing around the word "exploit" nobody is going to believe you when there actually is one.


Back this up by providing evidence that anyone has left? The feedback from the academy players has only been positive and I'm keeping in touch with many of them to answer any questions they have about the game.

The suggestion that people are leaving keeps being made in relation to this, but only by ignorant people looking to slander me. Can you prove you're not one of those?

Don't have to. Dying multiply times isn't fun right? Trying to fight against someone who has a huge advantage over you isn't fun right? Hell, even that Game Trailer review is good enough evidence lol. The average (majority maybe) fps players out there are CoD and BF players who are use to people dying rather quickly or having a easy measure to combat certain tactics. Also, knowingly going into Academy and pulling out your "super" tank is a **** move (well...this is eve and what not x_x) but if you truly love this game and want it to grow. It is best to not crush the noobs in the Academy and in actually combat. But if you feel that you have to exploit the game mechanics to get attention, then go for it. Just want you to know you know must people judge the game from a couple of matches since its free.

p.s. I also introduce my friends to this game both CoD and BF fanatics. They have yet to touch it again within 1-2 weeks of playing it, just my personal experience.

Bullshit

"Despite your personal experience to the contrary, my uninformed common sense says otherwise, derp derp".

That's nice, dear.

What's academy mode?

You guys are aware that anything you say will be trolled by this guy right?

It's where "special" people like Mithridates go...

Only if you're pretty obviously coming in to troll a thread which is a call to prevent this from being possible. There are plenty of other people grinding ISK in Academy who aren't posting about it.

But imo (just my opinion) you have to be either an ******* or a scrub to farm on newbs .

Crash Monster posting a blatantly ableist attack, after trying to claim that I was the one trolling. Weaksauce.

Sure. And New Eden has tons of those. I'm just the one getting all the hate for bringing it up, but whatever, so long as somebody fixes it.

"Oh, look, someone is showing CCP something broken about there idea! Let's troll him and call him out for bullshit!"

Yup - productivity on the forums continue as usual.

If you really wanted it fixed you should have sent a petition to CCP instead of posting a thread about it.

I think academy should only apply to the first character made on a PSN profile, so that you don't have seasoned vets massacring the poor lemmings.

I made this heavy alt recently and ended up in academy despite having a 7mil SP alt and obviously understood the game perfectly well. Despite the fact that I moved at the speed of a snail and could barely move around fast enough to find enemies before my team-mates killed them, I had 30+ K/DRs in every game I played until I made the WP to get out, and since Skirmish still doesn't effectively record stats, it took me a lot of games to get out of academy.

My two petition slots are constantly filled up with actual exploits.

Do carebear tears have special properties that I'm unaware of?

It's not hard to make a 2nd account.

You mean like how Betamax handled AWOXing?

That would be an exploit of the petition system.

You do know I don't help betamax at all. In fact, ever since they started doing that I've been wanting to leave this **** corp.

Are they using the corp lock exploit on you? I have respect for certain members, but as an entity Betamax has less than none.

Nope just need to find another corp that will actually take me. Most of the other corps don't want me since they think i'm gonna AWOX them. I'm thinking of just joining dust uni....

Wow, that's a remarkably effective way of preventing people from leaving.

I'm sure you're not the only one experiencing that. Form a corp with the others?

I don't talk to many others in betamax but everyone I know in betamax seem like they don't care about what they're doing.
