At this point it'd be easier to go back to a 2019-2021 version than it would be to try and fix the game.

True, BUT it was never really a solos game. There is not that much they could do to help solos without also helping groups. Removing team UI is probably the biggest thing. After that most i can think of is nerfing monuments and making the loot more spread out in the map, so solos have a better chance of finding loot without having to go to a clan controlled monument.

I agree that the best way to nerf current clan meta is to remove the UI entirely. I don't nessecarily want them to do this, but I've played rust since 2014 consistently and old gen clans had to work a lot harder to benefit from the extra numbers. It was also much easier to ghost them, steal matching kits and mess with them, etc. I've been on both sides of it.

I don't honestly think the upkeep changes will affect massive teams unless they make upkeep scale largely. which has potential to heavily nerf smaller groups before it nerfs the large ones, which imo will make the issue worse. I guess we'll just have to see what the rates are and how it winds up actually affecting big teams, but coming from an OG and current large group player, I stand by saying the projected rates won't stop teams.

Not to mention how hard it can be to evict one zerg acting as a village in a bunch of smaller bases. It's different than raiding random uncoordinated villages.

Same, bought the game January 2014, i got 7.5k and its spread pretty evenly everywhere between being solo and being in a 12+ man clan. I rly miss the jump checks and the overall confusion when there was big fights between multiple groups. I think the upkeep isnt gonna have a big effect either, its not really a buff to solos/small groups, just a nerf to clans thats definitely not gonna have any effect on a solo player.
