Pretty much the same for me Grease. When I was hear I was stuck trying to using my mind over gear to bridge the gap between me and them. I still do that. Jump onto enemies with an SMG and slaying them, bouncing grenades on a wall after baiting a player into walking into it, ducking and shooting the feet of a merc while they're at a Supply Depot, outsmarting the enemy in whatever way I can...
I don't know, I didn't read anything about "Proto Stomp Away" or whatever has everyone's panties twisted but rather don't make it easier on the players since going through the same hardships made you the excellent player you are now.
I sound like an old person but if we make it easier on them, wouldn't the players just become soft and rely on their gear ANYWAY? I promise you that if I didn't get stomped by team work and realized the difference between a Standard fit and a Proto, I wouldn't be the calculating ****** I am today >.>. I'm sure a lot of players wouldn't be. Sure, we need to make the Academy better so it helps players adjusts and have easier to understand instructions but at the core, do you really want to make the battlefield cushiony for newcomers? People will fret until the game is as easy to dominate in as COD or Battlefield and we most certainly don't want that.

I started in closed beta and it was a different time back then as proto wasn't really common. Now it's everywhere and you expect new players to take the ass kicking and thank you for the opportunity? **** You! What happens when the newbies get their own game mode? You are going to whine and cry because your easy kills are gone. Not to mention the fact that most of you use mouse and keyboard with aim assist (yeah I know theres a way) I can't wait for the day when CCP wakes up and starts thinking of ways to draw in the new players and gives them a fighting chance. Proto stomping is your purogotive, but you know that it is hardly fair. I could do the same, I have all the necessary skills and equipment and a rather high lifetime SP coun't. But I don't do it. It's not fun to get completely overwhelmed as a new player. Most new players don't know that the best way to grow is to get in with a corp. So don't sit there and act all high and mighty talking garbage about proto stomping is your right. So you "High KDR guys", your days are numbered.
:/ So you're butt hurt that people are defending "Proto Stomping?" You do realize that the issue isn't with Proto Stomping but Teamwork right? 1v1 A STD has an okay chance against a Proto but when people are using teamwork, even with just three players working together...It's much easier to "stomp". MUCH EASIER. I seen a squad of 4 Teamplayers conquer a battle, not because of Proto but because they just had really great teamwork. I didn't cry, I didn't whine...I knew how it was and tried to adjust to the situation.
Back in my time when I had to constantly work towards Proto...I didn't cry "OMG HE HAS PROTO AND I DON'T STOP USING IT." Nah. I worked with what I had to take them out. All of that has made me into a better player. My KD/R suffered greatly but whatever, it never really matters in a game like Dust, imo.
What's really annoying about your post is that you're pretty emotional when OP ain't even emotional...nostalgic, sure but we can easily see you feel some type of way about what's been said.
The point of it all is not to just have an easy game. A lot of players actually prefer to use lower end gear for a better challenge. The POINT is to actually instill these players with the same type of dedication and rigor that we've gained so that they may become better. In the end, the soldier makes the gear not the other way around. Been a many times I took out a Proto with just a militia rifle...
Edit: >_> I just took out a Proto Logi with a Militia set LITERALLY seconds ago.
