1- We haven't the matchmaker yet and you are already crying? LOL
2- Ya know that rewards depends on how expensive destroyed stuff in a match is? If everyone is running proto in a match you will get a godly amount of isk at the end.

You say proto gear, so if I have access to prototype scrambler rifles will I be included in on this? Only skilled it to level 5 for the Proficiency prerequisite; I did try the proto versions out a bit but too much extra CPU/PG and ISK for what is only slightly better.

Wait, I specced into proto but I only have 30mil ISK left...

I din't spec into Proto and i also have 30 mil ... what's you point ?

I know right ? Only big corps can afford running Proto in every match.. so, solo players and small corps are **** with this matchmaking system. I actually please that i decided to avoid Proto in my last Respec....

I cannot afford to run proto in all matches. If this matchmaking thing goes through, I'm screwed. As it is, I went down 40mil ISK running experimental fittings in the last month.

We don't even know how the matchmaking will work yet, and people are complaining.

Dunno if I would have called this complaining.... but oh well.

I would like to point out this is false. The more you destroy, the smaller percentage of that value is awarded. So destroying 10's of millions will barely be noticeable compared to destroying 10's of thousands.

Diminishing returns but 250 to 450 per battle is very good when a death cost one to three k or free on my starter fits.

But.. you see, that is the problem. You starter fits will be useless, if the matchmaking puts you in Pubstoming battles every time.

You don't seeing the bigger picture.

Starter fit on railgun kills any protobear.
Starter fit Sniper plus smg and remotes gets kills for few isk and my fave is proxy since I found a pattern that gets a kill most times.

I never play regular ambush since its fail with no nstallations to use or capture.
OMS, Skirmish or Domination have plenty of ways for isk gains.

Not specing into something will not help. Matchmaking is probably based off of more than just gear leveled into. KDR, WP, SP and a few other matrices are at play also. Separating battles by restricting gear is the best way of avoiding proto stomps.

Starter fit logi with two types of remotes and set six out in a long line then pretend to engage a squad of six enemy protos who only see a starter fit easy kill and they all just have to run after the rabbit to try and kill me then when the squad was in my kill fields I pressed L1 twice to see
+50
+50
+50
+50
+50
+50

And that was fun!!

And that's good business for you!



Also, OP don't tell me what to do!

You assuming that CCP is going to be bother trying to make a complex matchmaking system.. i won't hold my breath if i was you.

How can you know if a player is proto, for his dropsuit, for his weapon or for his modules?
There should be no restriction to the entrance, but then there should be a restriction on total meta level of your fit, if you want to use a proto suit in a STD/MLT battle, you are forced to use all militia modules and weapons with meta level zero or if you want to use a duvolle on a MLT dropsuit you will be forced to use MLT modules.

If matchmaking is going to be base on what gear you can equip

Is it?

Or are you just making **** up?

I'm sure this will make the players who cannot afford to run proto every game happy.

If matchmaking is going to be base on what gear you can equip, if you have access to Proto suits, even if you never use them, you will put in Pubstoming servers. If you want to have FUN playing Dust 514, AVOID PROTOTYPE SUITS.

I'm having fun in proto and milita suits so...?

It would be far better for CCP to introduce more matches with restrictions on gear. Eg you're not allowed to use anything better than milita or std.

Would give us the option to fight either in only one type or all range.

/c

Its not, and CCP said it would not be, so go yell at the sky somewhere else you crazy person.
