Rumpelforskin:
So I bought the game last September and played it a whole lot, I've got over 170 hours in game. Recently though I haven't played so much, mostly because I was burnt out on the game but also since it's been on sale a couple of times the community's really changed, it went from everyone being able to join a game and have fun to a whole lot of clueless new players. While there are the learning lobbies, I really don't think people are using these nearly enough, I get the feeling that the majority of players now don't know what they're doing and if you play the game you'll know that it only takes one person to ruin it for your ship and your team.


My suggestion is that players under a certain level (maybe under level 3 or 4) cannot join the regular lobbies. I know people will argue that new players need experienced players to teach them but after having played with them a fair bit recently... they don't listen. What does everyone else think?

Also, just wait like a week, most of those who don't listen will be gone by then because they'll give up on the game.

Rumpelforskin:
It's not just directly after a sale, it's been the same for the last month or so that I've been playing. If people want to join the real games they'll learn how to play and rank up a couple of times, it's not difficult to pick up and there's no shortage of information, hell you don't even need to tab out, all you need is the descriptions of the guns / tools and you're pretty much set. If you can't be bothered to read that then to be honest I'm not interested in playing with you, I doubt I'm alone in that though

Squidslinger Gilder:
Both are true. Sale weeks or any sales tend to spike players for about 2 weeks tops, then they plummet after that. By the end of a month, we're back to regular numbers. Most who quit in the first week are your short attention span players who for some reason think this is CoD with airships. So, they aren't missed.

Best thing you can do is join a clan that is involved in the competitive scene in this game and then ride with them for awhile. I predict there are going to be a lot of dead clans soon. There just is no reason for them to exist if they aren't involved in competitive. At least not yet. When COOP/Adventure comes then PVE clans will make sense.

Rumpelforskin:
You say there's no reason to have a clan if you're not going to play competitively, well I don't have the time for that, I want to be able to play the game week or so and enjoy myself, clans seem pretty formal, from the way you put it they should be. Also maybe I'm getting unlucky, I seem to fairly consistently get clueless people on my ship
