More people with DBS means more people up for the competition which means more people will come up and a lot less will rage quit Close Quarters Vest disapproves The current event seems to be played by a good number of new players which is good. Recently more and more OLD and self proclaimed PRO players complain or say that because of what DLE does blahblahblah, the game is dying.

Seriously, complain about what DLE does when during events the same old players that do this were the ones that troll newbies (take note of the spelling). Its one thing to use the best of your stuff during regular free for all or team versus matches but, in events that specify what to use and specially when newbies are around?

When completing and after I Completed the holloween event's current week I've seen old "PRO" / "Cool" people play flare guns, battle rams, anti-explosive gear, etc. against newbies still trying to complete the tiers. Instead of trying to be cool and actually look like an idiot by ruining new players' experience, in this event's case go play team versus instead.

Point is, maybe just maybe, DLE isn't really the only one at fault (for respawnables' alledged dying status) since especially during this event (kudos for giving away DBS) it was made obvious that the old players were the ones "not newbie friendly".

Try playing with newbies using low level stuff like assault rifles etc. you'll discover how fun it is compared to blasting everyone (newbies especially) with a battleram and with no-skill. Exactly. I couldn't have said it better. I totally agree with that Just dont understand why everyone is taking the Battle Ram as 1st example, there are so many Weapons and Cominations with which you can stomp a Battle Ram User into the earth but the people still think that this one is the most op and unfair Weapon of all. But BR is the most popular. There are few rammers in almost every match. Nowadays its more common than Revolver, Blunderbuss and DBS. I do have to say that if you can't counter BR then you can't call yourself a pro. There's a reason why there's like 44 weapons in the game. If you can't counter the BR with one weapon switch to another one! By adding the battle ram, DLE is sending a message to us, telling us that instead of sticking to one weapon like the flare gun or the battle ram, try out and practice weapons that you thought were newby like the plasma punch or the scoped rocket launcher. In my above statement, the reason why I used Battle Ram as an example because it requires close to no skill to use (kudos if the user actually have skills). Pick a spot, then blast everyone in sight even far across the map.

Yes Battle ram and other so called (but not really) "OP" weapons like Flare Gun, Minigun, etc. are counterable; and same goes with DLE pointing out that its time for us to play with other weapons (which was why they release newer weapons which, people refer to as "OP" as usual).

In my above statement (the one quoted), I wasn't bashing about the weapons in particular (like the battle ram that i used as an example) but the actual "older" players (i prefer old since real "pros" wont feast on newbies trying to complete event tiers). My point wasn't about any weapon being counterable or not counterable by any other weapon or about proclaiming who's pro or not. My point was about the "older" players that were vocal about respawnables (allegedly) dying because of what DLE does, were the same ones (not all obviously) that troll newbies during the events using weapons like battle ram, flare gun, whatever (for a game's player base to expand, newbies need to come in). Good if you don't consider what other people call "OP" as "OP"; excellent if you could counter any weapon (with skills this is doable, like the flare gun that people complain about...); and awesome if you could even effortlessly kill speed hackers with your dual pistols. The point was and to summarize my previous long post that specifically used Battle Ram:

During events, leave the newbies alone by not trolling them. Especially like in this week's case, all you have to do is stay out from free for all matches (unless you want to help by letting them kill you with grenades)
