Ok, I'm annoyed. Like a lot. 2 of 3 losses today resulted directly from not being able to control range against much tankier supposed to be slower opponents. As an attacker without boosts the majority of engagements becomes neigh impossible against boosted targets. So should I do what almost everybody without a boosting alt seems to be doing and just avoid them? As if engagments wern't scarse as it is... I mean doesn't CCP want people to actually fight?! In reality players won't engage without their boosters which slows everything down and the other half of the players doesn't bother engaging at all. One guy said to me that i should move in a weaker region. So players without a secon account have to hunt in the remote wastelands of pvp like scavengers? Lol What is this ****?! You can't be serious CCP!

I'd ask for your stuff, but I think you should use it to purchase a booster alt.

Bye bye. The current state of sov related horseshit has me wondering whether I should bother resubbing.

Yeah yeah, adapt or die but i don't want to pay a second sub to play this game right or be forced off in the remote wastes of poor-space. I mean wtf!? Tbh I'm also new and fairly bad at pvp but at this point I'm perfectly able to understand that boosts really reduce the number of winable fights massively. That means that one part of the player base just gets much less action. or no action at all. Not cool. generally i mean...On a sidenote: The whole ranting thing isn't to be taken too seriously Pirate

Would it be much better if that booster alt instead decloaked in a Falcon? Warped in with an Oneiros?

Alts are alts. Remove boosters and they'll just use the alt in another way. The fight will still be unfair.

I see your point but honestly i never had this problem. When logis and ecm are on the field you have to isolate you target and kill it quickly. although I suck at this but i know how it works in theory. to all on grid related problems there are solutions by actual moving your internet-spaceship around. When boosts are the problem this is not possible since they fill out the whole system and to make things much worse you can't even see them. You have to play an annoying guessing game if your target is boosted or not. C'mon, that's just bullshit! Anyway, I had to do this little rant. Making your voice heard and such. Maybe somebody will make something productive out of it

Haha, on General Discussion? Doubt it.

Maybe if you had an off-post booster alt

Unsub asap. It's your best option.

Nom nom nom bait.

Im bad, therefore everyone else should be bad, and because everyone else isn't as bad as me, CCP should make them worse so I have a chance to be semi-ok by comparison.

Honestly? It's been a while since we've had a "nerf OGB" thread. Been missing them.

I'm pretty new so fill me in here, but is there a way you could have had someone in your attacking force providing links to you so you could counter balance the links being provided to your enemy?
