Im always in my Advanced gear anyway so, yeah, I'll do it. =)

I love the sentiment, considering I'm one of the few newberries to migrate to the forum after so short a time in game. However, as this very post demonstrates, only 1/4 of the forum player base demonstrates compassion, understanding, for the newberry cause. Sportsmanship and honor is a lacking quality amongst these mercs, and will continue to be so till an over arching reason to play besides grinding sp/risk/ kills is introduced.

I of course, will be rolling standard gear, with an advance AR, as always. And yes I have proto gear, I got my duvolle this morning and have plenty state proto assaults.

To those of you have posted their desire to honor this agreement, I thank you, and encourage our to hold out. The desire to run protos will tear at you, but please refrain. Remember that week, remember the difficulties you may face running just standard gear, look at your kdr, and weep. And then remember that your standard suit is practicly as good as an advance, because of your skills. Remember that those newberries around you are not running in a 6 man squad.

Also, proto AVers, don't stop running proto AV. Tankers, and tank spammers, need to die. I feel bad for the real newberry who falls to your forge, but I pity more the 10 newberries who fall to that tank due to its indestructible nature in relation to the AV options available to newberries. And well, most tankers won't park their proto plaster madrugar for a match, never mind a week.

Hahaha, seems like there are more douchebags in this community than I thought... jk, jk! (but it is true)

I'm surprised that ML has such a bad reputation (I personally never use proto suits in pub matches.) and I want to make clear that I'm not officially speaking for ML. This proposal is not an official ML one but a personal one from my side. I can not say if any of my corpmates will join me, but I hope so.

Yes, I agree that it is upon CCP to improve the new player experience, but I think we as a community also can do something to make this game more fun for new players every once in a while. At least for as long as the NPE is not fixed. I don't think that this is too much to ask for.

But I can also understand if people want to use this event to grind a ton of WP, so I have a new proposal:
Lets try to keep at least one game mode, lets say pub Skirmishes, free from stomping.

Maybe I was aiming too high with my first proposal, but I hope we can all agree on this one.

Thanks.

I doubt that my corp will. still most of us usually don't run proto. There are times we are left with no choice though. What I do love about this is how low the payouts will be for the stompers. 200k suit? here have 120k payout. May your kdr rise and your isk sink.
