As someone who frequents the FW novice capture points.
People who have lots of pvp skills and skill points, and know what they are doing will go to the small and medium capture points, better reward for the time spent (at leas the small is not 100% on the medium)
I, and a lot of others, who do Novice, do so because we have such a small amount of SP there is no other option than to run, and this provides at least a basic foundation in how to operate in unsafe space, while at the same time building a nice foundation of wealth in loyalty points.
Make sure you check how old the player who disgusts you by warping away as you come into the novice. I know most who do this are feeding on newer players for the easy kills (people who actually care about killboard stats and want to pad it) otherwise they would be harassing the larger points with more experienced players.
Half the time im not even sure the ship on the novice gate dscan can even enter, im sure as hell not as advanced as to know "this ship is probably kite fit and I can take it, or this ship is fit in a way that ill die for sure" and when I go down in two volleys after doing perhaps 5% damage to your shield, because my DPS and Tanking skills are lv 3 or below....it just seems a hell of a lot smarter to put a few stabilizers on and GTFO and hope you go away so I can come back and get that loyalty (or go elsewhere)
So yeah, I see people who are experienced pvpers, who camp the novice gates, as the ones looking to pad their kill stats, not the guy who runs, chances are hes a noob...or just so awful at pvp....either way its not going to be a fun, challenging, entertaining fight....IN MOST CASES.
Check out the small and mediums though, those people at least have enough SP to ride a destroyer or higher tech ship and probably know enough about the game to give you a fight that's somewhat entertaining. Anyway, the people who stay on the novice when you come in are either so clueless about whats going on your just shooting fish in a barrel, or hes a pvper who knows what hes doing, and it will be a good fight. Chances are the guy who warps out, knows hes a bad pvper or too new. |
