Do you want proto scanners to be useless? Profile dampeners exist for a reason, and I can't think of a better way to emphasise their use than to actually make them relevant.

The scanner trend will die down in a while, and then people will move on to spamming something else. What a lot of people don't realize is that anytime a particular weapon or piece of equipment is used by the majority of the team, an illusion of OP-ness is created. If everyone on the team used a Forge Gun, the opponents would be complaining about Forge Guns. If everyone used laser rifles, the opponents would be complaining about laser rifles. The same goes for so many different things, including shotguns, uplinks, tanks, dropships, mass drivers, scrambler rifles, HMGs, grenades, etc. The only weapon that people don't recognize the spamming of is the Assault Rifle, and to this day ARs continue to rake in more kills than anytbing else.

according to your signature, you owe me 5 million isk Lol

I'll give you 5 million ISK if you find the word gullible hidden in my post.

Some people are just too gullible... Anyway, despite the fact that I am not a grenade spammer (I have M1 grenades and only use them to get out of tight situations), I don't support a drastic change. I question where all of you are standing so that you keep getting spammed and why you're staying there. The only time I've actually seen grenades become excessive was this one domination on the new map where the enemy was basically suicide bombing continuously on the mass of us at the objective. Not a single individual was able to throw more than 2 grenades before getting killed, so individual grenade spam was irrelevant. It was just the collection of everyone chucking grenades at once that made it seem so bad. But in reality, any type of explosive would have been effective in that situation, because that's their purpose. Although, I could have sworn that there were still more AR kills... Oh, and for those of you who keep complaining about the Active Scanner actually working, I think you're forgetting that those scans are only visible to the squad that scans you. A snapshot-based scan would be interesting to test, but I think it would be difficult to distinguish the active scan snapshot from live passive scans. I'll give you 5 million ISK if you find the word gullible hidden in my post.
