Needless to say they stopped hacking and floored me in the same four seconds with a militia assault rifle and I had almost six hundred HP's on me.
Now what they need to do is take away the skill points of people like this because they ( save money ) by using these cheaper weapons and suits , so they should give them the option of either using their Prototypes and locking them out of the militia grade gear or giving them the use of the militia gear , at the price of the skill points for their proto gear. Now they would keep their weapons skills like the marksmanship , proficiency and such if they have acquired them but just not the use of the prototype weapons ( hell they are not using them anyway ) until they REAQUIRED the skills to use the prototype weapons which will in turn lock them out of using the militia gear.
That way the system doesn't crash like the stock market just did from people using cheaper gear and racking up ISK at the expense of the systems integrity. These people are killing the game threw a loophole that CCP should close. They are manipulating the system and bringing the market to ruin.
Say what you will about bringing this to light but it is a practice that has probably been going on for some time and I guarantee that CCP will do something about it because YOU are costing them money in the long run and YOUR watering down their game.
THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED TO DO.
sry im not sure what your talking about. removing sp if you use low end weapons. that doesn't make any sense to me. how would noobs advance, how would players be able to play the game if they run out of isk. when a militia weapon with damage mods does more dps than a proto without then we have issues but thats not down to the weapon. thats down to damage mods being over used. remove the damage mods and damage skills and real skill and teamwork has to take over. this in turn will make the game more enjoyable for most players and make weapons more balanced. He's trying to force people to use proto gear if they are skilled into it. Its a stupid idea and he should feel bad for thinking it. |

i know i must be insane or something but bare with me.
are damage mods and damage skills really necessary. every weapon has a damage increase from basic to proto anyway so having a double damage buff is not needed. all this does is widens the gap between proto and basic and creates weapons which cannot be balanced properly.
how do you balance a swarm launcher with 5 damage mods against a tank and compare that against a swarm launcher with no damage mods against the same tank.
the same could be said for laser rifles and MD's and any weapon for that matter that has seen the nerf hammer to "balance" it. for example:
laser rifle + damage mods brought it to the nerf hammer where it became almost useless without them MD + damage mods brought it to the nerf hammer where it became almost useless without them
simply fitting more and bigger damage mods should not be the next step to beat another player. it should be fitting better weapons and gear to match or beat them with skill.
i know this would bring up concern for some classes but rather than damage mods they should get role related skills such as range,sight,clip size, rof, critical damage.
we have swarms being only effective with maximum damage mods, we have snipers only effective with maximum damage mods, we have forge guns only effective with maximum damage mods. we have AR's currently with people running basic weapons with maximum damage mods just trying to compete. there are people also using militia shotguns with max damage mods nuking 1500+ ehp heavies in 2-3 hits. its only a matter of time before these weapons are "balanced" wrongly when simply removing the route cause would be balance enough.
also as a side effect this allows players to fit more tank, electronics modules and promotes more teamwork to take out others rather than relying on pure dps. This would make Extenders and Plates even more overused than they already are. Changing and separating Damage Mods into things like heat sinks, magazine extensions, recoils stabilizers, ect. would be a better alternative than just removing them. |
