DUST Search - This game is getting old

this isnt the players fault.

Its the games mechanics.

The worst part being the ISK, factor - its not the gear per se. People go oh I might not make a profit if they see an organised squad - drop down to lower gear (militia or free suits), which in an RPG makes the situation worse. And how we see constant redlining. People get rewarded near enough the same for sitting back sniping etc and not PTO - whats the incentive to play.

the only solution to pub matches is to ban Proto gear in them. But why do that? Some people dont play PC so why would they grind for gear and then not be able to use it. And it also defeats the point of trying to build an FPS RPG.

tbh most proto suits I see are not fitted with proto weapons etc. people are using them to grind for the stupid artificial hump/ SP sink that CCP has put in - the 5x PG/ CPU multiplier, which everyone has to max out so they can fit equipment etc on their suits.

Situation may improve if we ever get bigger numbers v numbers but doubt it.

Its a shame you can't jump in a game of dust by yourself and expect not to get trashed. Currently I don't have anyone to squad with. All my friends are off and I'm out of a corp due to shady eve ceo's. I don't understand what this game is coming to.

Its just that you don't get enough isk reward in pub matches to continuously use them. The only way to gain some sort of profit is to run with a squad. I think people would complain less if we were making more of a profit in the matches we play. To be honest alot of people are not good at this game and they just like the whole character development so thats why they play, and when you die to frequently not making isk you get turned off from the game cause you can't do anything without it.

DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 5418	Posted - 2013.07.23 15:59:00 - [17] - Quote I do pretty well by myself, but that doesn't take anything away from the **** poor state of "matchmaking" right now. I strongly doubt any changes to matchmaking will improve this, because our player base is painfully small. You'll either get put into games with a ton of noobs and stomp, or get put into games full of corp squads and get trashed; DUST as usual. No, we need PvE if we want a place to relax and actually just enjoy the game.
