I'm tired of having campers on my team. I have recently been ranting about facing gekkos and plain losing health to the initial volley but nah. I'm sick of having 2-3 teammates going for beacons and the rest camping. YOUR'E NOT HELPING. You're not helping capture beacons and we get boxed in. You're not dealing damage and you have some weird phobia of taking damage. You have 4-5 bots so use them. I love getting to the end of a game and having dominated in the low-mid ranges and then happily bounding through to try beat my teammates in the 'smash the s**t campers for extra damage competition*.

Biggest detriment to this game besides Pix is so many idiots who are playing it.

Campers are a pain, but it's a fairly rational response to the situation many pilots find themselves in. When you're using level 9 bots/weapons and you are regularly facing maxed out hangers, you're going to get more silver if you upgrade a single long range bot and spend the whole game in that bot than you will trying to get it in a series of brawlers. I'm sure there are a few players that can make up the difference with skill, but god knows I'm not one of them. Personally, I can't stand long range bots as I think they're boring, but I keep one in my hanger to deal with enemy long-range threats. Between the MM disparity and the recent buff to pretty much every weapon a camper might use, campers are only going to become more prevalent.

Im in gold 1 with a hanger no where near gold 1 standards but I'm not sitting back and camping to the detriment of my team. I just don't understand it, you don't even earn much because the damage output is so low. I just don't get it, if a campers team is beaten then the camper and their remaining bots are going to be hunted down and killed quickly. I think people just have this weird thing about taking damage like it matters. I'll chuck away robots if it makes sense to do so tactically.

Campers have their place in the universe, (other than burning in gamer hell). The ones that bug me are; 1) the red ones that are in effective places, 2) the blue ones that don't eject to stop a red blitz or support a blue push, 3) blues that cannot even camp in effective arcs or reposition.  |

Of course I am not a native speaker but s**t is a noun I think while s****y or f*****g are adjectives. |

We just lost a moon map that was close, due to a major Fujin Hydradouche and a Treb Natasha (that actually did join in a slow as snail assault in last couple of mins). Was tempted just to go blast the Hydradouche until the game ended when I knew we would lose. Would that land me in poo?

I was unable to play for about 6 weeks but came back mid September and WOW - a lot more long rangers lobbing missiles and long range energy weapons zapping my shorter range brawlers before they can get a shot in.
I can see with the right load out a long range bot can help - if used properly. Sometimes we win because half the other team are hanging back ineffectually. Sometimes we lose because half our team is.
At the end of the day if they like to play that way we can't stop them. It's random which side they will be on so it might help or hinder.
I used to use heavy bots and snipe and had fun doing that for a while. But then I got some Tarans and Magnums and prefer to get in close. There is more to do and overall I think I get more damage and more silver.
Campers gonna camp. Deal with it.

Oeh. Blue campers is nothing. Got a whole new experience today. I was mixed in a squad of tanking ppl. And guess what? Against full champ squad. I almost couldn't spawn...
