Thread: here's why we dont get any love
frankly i'm sick of hearing this kind of bs on our own forums...it looks like a good chunk of folks who have skills in squadleader don't even know what they are doing.
i'm not coming backto the sl forumsfor a while i think. maybe by then you squad leaders who only whine - and make us out to be more borked than we are will have dropped it and moved on to something you might find more enjoyable.
like jedi lol.
i am a master squadleader! that is the role i play! we are supposed to be a Support proffesion. i have built my template completely around it. its working AWESOME for me.
because I'Mnot trying to be UBER.
and thus my GROUP is UBER.
/rant off
And some people are satisfied with imperfection. Clearly you are one of those. Please. Feel free to go think of youself as the uber SL on another forum. We won't mind. In the mean time, we will continue to push for changes to improve the profession. You dont have to be apart of that if you wish. Many of us want to see our profesison inproved, not mediocre, but good like the other professions. We spend the SP like everyone else. You argue that it is support. Well, if this profesison was anything like the other support professions you would have a case, but reality is....Doc > SL, CM > SL, CH > SL. Right or wrong, no group going on a raid would pick us over a Doc or a CM. That should not be the case. We should be that which all groups revolve around, not the last one picked because the commando stayed home.

thats exactly what i'm saying! thank you! this is a another sl whine thread - not constructive in any way, so don't be high and mighty that your helping anything, i looked at your posts and your guilty.
just like a pistoleer has to pick up other proffessions to compliment thier primary role, so do we to be effective.ie other support proffs.
if you play the role of Squad Leader and pick other skills that compliment that you will be the first picked.
the cu was all about combining templates for hybrid masteries.
those who gripe the most are probally not playing MSL asthier primary role and are wanting the proffesion to be something that its not.
everyone who comes up to me to ask me about master squad leader says "i heard you guys are broke and worthless". thank you to those of uswho do not fuel this common misconception.
i'm not saying we don't need more, but overexaggerating our problems is only making it hard for all of us my man. your guarantee is worthless in my case ask anyone in my squads. if your not getting asked along in groups over a rifleman/cm you might want to take a look at your template and playstyle.
and by the way Drevin...i suck at this game, i am far from uber and claiming a guy who has a 100% group support template is looking to be otherwise is rediculous in this game.

dude in my opinion this is the least whiny of all forums...i come to these forums for a break from the other ones.
are you still arguing about your right to flame anyone for being a little positive about our proffesion? there are good ways and bad ways to try to get what you want. drop it - go back and get to "helping the proffesion" the way you see fit. your wasting precious time. i've said my piece, i don't need to repeat it again cause its already been said. you've said yours, end of story.
now... back on the subject

Funny, the way it looks there, you are the one flaming everyone else. 
Now, if you are finished warping the past, let's move on to the future.

We are in need of fixes, and we are in need of some more benefits and well rounded abilities. Our profession is somewhat different then most others in that the player makes the profession rather then the profession makeing the player, so dealing with our player base is a little awkward. I want to see some attention given to us because some things should be polished and working better. The one problem looming for me is that if we do get some attention and our profession is worked on, will it be reasonable and according to the mindset and work ethic that the squad leader has come to be known by? Or, will we be worked on a little too much and become the next one week wonder dabbler profession?
This shouldnt be an issue of, either/or, setting ourselves against eachother. It's simple as this, we need to be worked on, but not revamped. Fortunatly we tend to be more cool headed and have given good feedback of what we need staying within reason. I dont want to debate with fellow squad leaders, rather, I'm all for working with you stay focused on our goal and not stray into the mess that quite a few other forums have become.
God forbid that a Squad Leader want to see his own profession get some improvement.
Luckily for us,you are not a Developer.
