Okay, like seriously, fuck this shit. I mean really, one fight I'm told I lost because of weight, the only factor into the fight that went to my opponent when his visual stats didn't look near as impressive as the other FS fighters I had beat, soundly.
Then I walk into this fight:
http://mmarmy.com/showfight.php?fight=879756I look over the last 8PTS to beat him (
http://mmarmy.com/fighter_display.php?id=137217), and see that I'm pretty much on par with the guy in stats to get in the type of win he got. So I figure I'd take the fight just based on that, and notice I've got more weight than the previous 8PTS he lost to. That should help me seeing as people already told me weight matters in this type of atmosphere, so figure, I can win it out, or at the very least just lose by split. But no, of course not. Much like with everything else for me, when I think I've got something figured out, it changes up on me and I end up questioning what I did wrong, again.
What's to keep me from playing this game now? I don't even care if I'm winning in my secondary camp because the interest was never in them, but rather just my first camp.
And I hate losing out on fights that I think I should at least be putting up better efforts in, only to lose out in the end via some big upset that just leaves me thinking that my guys have no heart. Then to top that off, I get stuck with shit recruits on my main camp - either they come with shit stats to start, or can't ever cut weight to make the division they should be fighting in. It's getting really fucking ridiculous.
I enjoyed this game until I realized how brutally under matched I was in practically every fucking org that was designed for young player, and before I realized how frustrating it was to win out the fights that look, on paper, to be the fights I should be winning. And not even by stupid bullshit like phoning in fights and eating a UD; just straight up eating KO's and Subs because they just want out of the cage!
It's way too frustrating to even match up with some of these losers that hang around the lower orgs, and they're the only ones on and challenging me. I'm tired of telling these cocksuckers "no" to a fight 12 times, and I'm really tired of trying to build up the funds for this camp, only to realize that by the time I get even a single 500K equip to even start building up decent enough fighters for bigger things, I'll have to stop and rebuild the camp up about 3 times over, as my fighters will all probably die of AIDS after 5 years flat.
And the best part about this? When I do challenge upwards, and look like I could beat that fighter, they end up ducking me; as if to say they even realize that their 3 3 star stats in ares isn't a match for my 2.5 star top stats and style advantage, so they don't want to eat the loss, or the potential loss, seeing as I just lose every fight, anyway.
A fucking break - that's all I'm asking for. A fucking break so that way I at least feel like I can catch up to everyone else at some point and at least contend. The way it feels, this slow grinding, uphill battle to at least be DECENT enough to beat on the shitty cockscukers in the lower orgs who just blow too hard to hang with guys that have been playing as long as them, and have the same equip and knowledge of the game. I'm not asking for EFC championships already; I'm not dumb or naive to believe I should be in that echelon without any actual experience, stats or knowledge, I'm just asking for the ability to at least hang in StrikeFest without getting chewed out by everyone and their fucking grandmother.
Seriously. I really want to quit.
This community grew up to be something big, and now it's weeding out just about everyone to keep only those who began with the game, making it almost feel like an elitist club. Try as they might to help out the noob players, they really can't lean down the machine so it's not as harsh on these young players. I feel like no matter what, I'm never going to fit into this community because I'll never get to be on equal footing with them, and I'll never be as good as them because they'll just keep on learning ways to change up the environment so they always have the advantage. It's more than frustrating now, especially considering I'm eating losses that don't even make sense to me anymore. And it certainly doesn't help that I'm trying my damndest to even get my camp up to AVERAGE. Shit, it's a chore to even get it all up beyond POOR, it feels.
I don't even know how the game could be curved to help keep new players feeling they have a shot at doing well enough to hang in there in the orgs that were designed for them, because any suggestion could be broken to help out feeder camps. And trust me, I've tinkered with that idea to keep my interest in this game alive, but I'm not about to play like that because there's no satisfaction in pulling that sort of shit.
Right now I'm just ranting and venting out to keep myself from doing something I'll regret later, like auto-retiring my entire main camp. As fun as this game is, it's just way too fucking frustrating right now. I just needed to scream about this, or else I probably would have just quit, but I'm still tempted to do that. Seriously, I don't feel like I'm getting any better, only worse. And I don't feel like I'm benefiting at all from some of these fights. Shit, sparing is becoming a pain because of the lack of equip means that I'm going to be an easy target for such a long time, and that doesn't help entice me to stick around.
