Eg. caldari logi ck.0 with a sniper rifle and 5 complex damage mods. gallente gk.0 with 5 complex armor mods.
I have tried talking to those who abuse them as such but usually get laughed at in response.
My request:
-1: remove the ability for logis to equip sniper rifles
-2: limit damage mods to 1 max
-3: limit armor plate mods to 2 max
-4: make all eq slots mandatory
5: True logis will understand and appreciate these changes,slayers will fight it tooth and nail,or suggest unreasonable changes to my request without actually targeting slayers.
I would prefer these changes to a full on nerf bat.
1: As much as I hate sniper rifles (I'll spend an entire map doing nothing else than gunning for a Thales), I do think they have a purpose in the game. The problem of course is redline sniping, but thats a different story.
2: All this would do is ensure that everyone has the same fit (everyone would fit 1 damage mod, and the rest would be shield mods) rather than allowing people some (albeit limited) individuality in fits.
3: Once again, everyone would fit much more similarly due to lack of options. Perhaps a bit more options exist on the low slots than on the mediums, but reducing the fitting choices, and FORCING people to fit a certain way is bad, mmmkay.
4: All this would do, is force everyone who wants to logislay into fitting 3 of the easiest fitting equipments they can (hello compact nanohive), and would change little. A much more reasonable solution would be to give built in damage bonuses to suits whose key attribute is to be dealing damage (such as commandos, assaults, etc.) while not giving them to logis. This will put the logis at a de facto dissadvantage in being a slayer. If only we knew of a company who would do this.... hmmmm.... (CCP 1.8 Patch Plans )
5: True logis understand that human creativity will allow us to find something that can be abused, and abuse it, until such a date as it is fixed (IE: Until the proposed 1.8 changes go into place, there really is no reason to use an assault suit over a logi suit, and hence the logi slay is born). Artificial limitations are NEVER the answer to the problem, only the symptoms, and if symptom relief is all you are looking for, you are being far too myopic. People will continue to find new things they can break (and they should, to force change from where we are, to where we should be) until the underlying issue is solved. |
