It may be that I'm just tired, but I thought I'd throw this out there.
What if WP from kills were related to the suit in use? Would this make "protostomping" less viable?
suit type (kill arrow) suit type
Mil/Norm --> Mil/Norm = 50
Mil/Norm --> ADV = 60
Mil/Norm --> PRO = 75
ADV --> Mil/Norm = 40
ADV --> ADV = 50
ADV --> PRO = 60
PRO --> Mil/Norm = 25
PRO --> ADV = 40
PRO --> PRO = 50
In this manner the best use of PRO suits are against other Proto suits... AKA Planetary Conquest or some other higher organized event.
It would both punish stomping and reward those who survive it. |

you already get more ISK if you destroy better gear relative to your own... |

I like this because it says that I am more worth it than just about everyone else on my team. |

Most players who do stomp are more heavily visual oriented than intellectual oriented.
What this means is that if smaller numbers appear onscreen because of their gear, they're more likely to change habits because of that visual input. Just look at the people on the EVE forums, go ahead and look at them.... Some of them refuse to play console games because of the visuals ALONE. They literally let their eyes neural centers do the thinking in replacement of their brain's logic centers. It's why they are attracted to "shiny" games etc...
This logic is played out to a lesser extent across a much larger population, hence immediate visual rewards or punishments elicit a change in activity.
You don't get to see money earned every time you down a target... but WP? Yup. |

Would probably drop the ADV -> Mil/Standard down to 30 or 35, because though I believe something like this an excellent idea, it would almost immediately just lead to the protostompers running Proto weapons (and as much high end gear as possible) on Advanced suits, which really aren't that much weaker in most cases. |

Is a nice idea...but it won't happen, people will just use militia gear all the time and abuse their core skills and modules.
The easier thing to do is removing tiers altogether, or at least make the gap between them a lot smaller. |

I got the impression that you are calling eve players and proto stompers less intellectual because they are attracted to shiny things. I get what you are saying about some people being visually oriented but the shiny object example has been used to describe the simple minded. While its probably true, its not very nice to point it out.
