This will always be a problem ,you have devs(and some players) with their idea of how they want the game to play and you have players that become best through understanding and adapting to the mechanics as they are ,TL:DR Meta fuckery

True and as /v/ player base showed before a random group from here will work together better than any trained reddit division

>>implying modern devs play video games
That still would be only half of the problem,even if they play they might be noobs or happen to play with other noobs or yes man who realized they are playing with devs.Depends which part of the game creates more problems and what kind of a player the dev is
(not so)Quick example,Tanks in Squad are bulletproof except for rockets(and since last week mines because all factions got them now),so on one hand if you have a tank up close you are fucked unless you hide or get under it,on the other hand most people treat the tanks as marksman rifles on tracks and will never ride into a flag out of fear,and will never escort infantry(happened once after the entire team shouted at the tank crew for 30mins),In Squad you can build bases anywhere and place TOW's ,so tanks don't want to go near and expect infantry to first take down the base so tanks will be safe,but you can also place HMG's in those bases so infantry will get cut down unless they get near by using the tank,and now they can also get their tracks shoot off and become immobilized so they stay even further away
So infantry cries that Tank's can tank 7 rockets and tank drivers cry that they can get killed by 2 TOWs from a far away,and here I am as a medic main crawling through a fucking field for 15 mins because nobody else wants to move out of their safe space
Depending on the devs mindset or what they play they might try to balance different parts of the game to motivate the players to play a certain way,that has to be a tough job,If you rely just on forums you know the loudest fucker are always the noobs and pussies,How do you convince the tanks to work with the infantry and not play world of tanks,how do you convince the people who like base building that this isn't minecraft in UE4.It became so bad I saw a guy take a tank at the start of the match,die with it and leave the server,or wait in the main base for the tank to respawn
I saw 20 faggots siting in their minecraft fort surrendering forward flags so they don't have to move out,and then they still loose those bases because they never attacked one in their lives and don't know what the attackers will actually do
This shit is crazy,people come to a game because they heard it's good and the first thing they decide to do is ruin it,Why?
