DUST Search - Whats wrong with using proto?

What am l supposed to do?

- Not play with my friends and corpmates? (Playing Dust solo for 5 hrs will make the game way too boring)
- Not use the finelly tweaked suit l've spent 8 months perfecting?
- Not maximizing my potential on the battlefield, by extension doing all l can to secure a win for my team?

- What do you want me to do?

And for the record, l normally run a "cheap" protosuit setup that costs 107.775 isk and the isk just keeps piling up. As long as my wallet keeps growing, what possible reason is there for me to not use a proto suit in every single battle?

I've even deleted my ONE roughly 50k enhanced suit. My theory is that the guys complaining about it simply can't afford it.

And don't give me the "need a challenge" BS, playing agressively enough to rack up the kills without dying more than max twice on average is challanging enough.....

I'm tired of the constant QQ messages, especially after downing someone many times with an enh weapon with no mods. Besides, playing mostly EU ambush l do meet lots of other proto squads from gac, wtf, various russians and others.

Also nothing wrong with using qsynced elite PC protosquads. And absolutely nothing is wrong with using all the techniques and tools at hand to ruthlessly dominate the opposition into a failure so complete that they just suicide to get it over with. Hopefully you can put them in a position where they choose not to fight at all and just let you take what you want. This is war after all. More power to you, i sez. This is not a player-generated problem. It's a CCP game design problem. And it's a hard problem. Because of the universal market, because of the vast stratification in wealth, because of the confined pressure-cooker lobby match structure of DUST, because of what customizable player-generated contracts will mean, because of the resource geopolitics built right into the game the problems we see in DUST today are SWEET F'K ALL compared to what is coming. It won't be a case of protostomping, it'll be a case of officerstomping with environmental bonuses and supercap fleet support. It'll be a case of calling down proto installations and fielding multiple warbarges. If players have any responsibilities in this at all it would be to keep offering suggestions and insights to CCP.
