Every match is annoying me too much, i'm not that good but putting me v people with much better gear and SP every game is too much, im a sore loser being honest here, i can take a defeat if the game has been close but a total annihilation when i've been able to do nothing other than drop uplinks nano's revive and rep and and constantly getting negative K/D ratio's is far too frustrating for me so I refuse to play a game that annoys me as much as this does so i'm taking a long break until matchmaking is fixed, I play games for enjoyment and i get none from this game right now, it's a shame because I liked the concept but the execution has been terrible so I think i'll just focus on playing EVE ...
I haven't insulted anyone or blamed any particular class or type of person so please don;t see this as a QQ rage quit thread, I simply am not enjoying the game and it has very little to offer new players, I want to be able to compete in the matches I play and saying go be a sniper go do this go do that .. defeats the object of a game, why should I have to go down the route of a specific class to keep me out of the battle because of the sheer difference in SP between your opponents ? I absolutely hate being in a part of a squad and being the weak link, I don;t like to feel that i'm basically being carried and am a liability to the squad, Being weak at the start of a game is fine when there is some kind of balance so that your always able to compete in matches, being weak at the start of the game when your v ppl who've been here for over a year isn't fine .. It's the equivalent of putting a 5yr old child into a boxing ring with Klitschko and telling the kid to .. get good ..
In EVE new players don't get a frigate and then go straight into battles v Titans .. yet on Dust that seems to be the route you've gone down .. why ? You do realise there is a reason barely any MMO games (I cant actually think of any but i'm sure someone somewhere knows of at least 1) throw new players into the lions den straight away ? It puts people off wanting to play the game and stay long enough to get hooked.
A large proportion of the experienced players on this game don't see anything wrong with the current system and bemoan the size of the player base and say ' any seperation is bad for the game' that's bollox, the reason the player base is so small is because the current system drives new players away and seeing as there are alot of ppl in high lvl gears with alot of SP now i seriously doubt their would be a problem with seperating games between players based on SP all it would mean is the new players would play v the new players and the vets would play v the vets (obviously I see the issue here ... the ppl who complain about this type of syystem are the ones scared to lose ISK by fighting ppl at a similair lvl to them, all those who gloat about their KD ratios are against this kind of system because without new players for them to kill easily their KD/s will go down as they will be against ppl on an equal footing to them) The best players of this game see no issue with this kind of system, it puts the game back to the lvl where skill and dropsuit fitting matters rather than the SP is God system currently in place.
Every idea i've ever had re Matchmaking has been shotdown with the same complaints by the same ppl who seem to think the game is fine as it is ... The game isn;t fine as it is and the player base confirms that, the last paragraph was directly aimed at the ppl who will undoubtedly QQ the idea .... I never claimed to be good at the game, I don't want to be given an easy ride to 10m SP and given prot gear ... I merely want balanced matches between balanced sets of players
