You know what? You are right I am a sub par player and stats don't lie. I cannot escape that,however it is also a reflection at a specific time and point. Up until reading some of the replies I had no idea what a Jarl stat was, so I decided to look at it.
What you are seeing is a total of 300 drops in 2 years. Quite frankly it's beans compared to the other 7 years of playing this game,which jarl has no account of for some reason.
With that said I have probably over 30,000 drops and does not merit the 300 registered. What is my overall? Who knows and quite frankly ...I don't care. For some reason, majority on here seem to think it is the end all when it is not.
I also would say that if ANY of you played this game at the beginning you would know that my op was full of merit. Granted, the game changed and evolved as so did the meta and so did players.
My point is, with every meta came a different way to play and you were forced to adjust,just like any other game. In the current state of the game, I can completely say that after reading what some of you constructively had to say, I agree with and will attempt to change my view point.
In some ways you can say I am still ingrained into a pattern of play that is "outdated" and I find it increasingly frustrating seeing what I found to work being crushed by the opposing minded. That is on me and again I will have to make adjustments on that.
It doesn't change the fact that my post was correct,just dated for an earlier time. That is my bad, and my ignorance showed.
I find it funny however that some of the crushing replies were also somewhat contradictory to each of your responses. I saw a number of post's that contradicted a statement from someone "who knows" with someone else who supposedly "knows". Maybe all of you should try to get on the same page as well.
I would also like to point out that this was geared towards the newer player who might not have the skill level or the confidence in running and gunning. Imho the entire "Team" mentality is lost on new players because they simply don't know what to do and are better suited staying with the group, that is until they gain the confidence to run and gun. I mean, if you are a competitive player with a new player aboard , would you really encourage this kind of play?
Personally, since this game is dying and players are less and less ,quick play is the only option for me. Hardly competitive play and there are a LOT of new players on each drop. I personally find it frustrating seeing lite pilots run and gun and get killed before any real engagement happens,and now you are down and the team suffers. Hence the op.
*note - "Lite" is a term that was used long ago on a game called Battletech:Solaris on AOL/Gamestorm. Don't jump on the bandwagon just to criticize when you obviously don't know yourself. I can at least admit I am wrong,you just look like a jack ***.
