No it doesn't. Battlefield effectiveness is determined by skill, gear effectiveness (SP), and gear quality (ISK). Only one of these is able to be directly controlled by the player, the other two are determined by passive and active accrual. Telling people that they just need to get better is wrong. They may already be as good as the people they're fighting, but unable to compete due to the effect of SP and ISK.

The RPG effect

And this is why I win 9 out of 10 of my matches running around (most of the time) in my Dragonfly suit using my Blueprint Assault rifle and Drop Uplinks?

Was I imagining things when I ran around for 6 months in a basic suit without any shields or armor getting better and better every week?

Please.. Stop talking nonsense. The top skillsters playing Dust can take you down naked.

It cost nearly 3 million SP to get proto dropsuits, another 1 million for every module you'll need to make that dropsuit even viable (more skill points depending on certain modules). Than your looking at weaponry which adds up to be well into 2 and half million SP for just getting a weapon but if you need more damage or dispersion control which adds another million per skill. which nears up to 11 million nessecary skill points to compete.... Thats pretty much 11 months of consistent playing because its pretty much 1 month to get 1 million skill points. Unless you drop your cash for every booster out there which can add up for a incomplete game, considering all the content not available right now. Even if you stick to a squad, unless that squad is decked out in full proto like the opponent you better off just hanging out in redline because thats what the end result will be like. Truth be told its not the players fault or CCPs design for Skill points or weapons... Its the god damn filtering of matches fitting us against people we can compete with because they have simply better gear and we cannot avoid them or choose to do battles with our skill levels. Give player a option to choose their battles through a lobby system for gods sake.

Though I blame both CCP and the players. CCP for not developing a matchmaking system or competent gamemodes that might give incentive to...you know...stop stomping in pubs. The players because they care little for new players or competitive gameplay. It's stomp to your heart's content and then come and brag how you went 70/0. Plus taking every single advantage and glitch and shove your faces in it. I don't get how new players get through it Truth be told, I don't get through it. I don't get a ghost of a chance. Lose 15 matches straight yesterday, and it seems hopeless because even when I do eventually get stronger the Stronger players are still going to be 20 million SP ahead of me, and will be forced to face them in the end. I appreciate you sympathizing with me though bro. All i really want now is a option, because i am pretty damn close to dropping this game again to play something else till an option to avoid stomp fests consistently. I get a utter defeat from time to time but 15 times in a row seriously?? Now if I did suck that bad, I should be pinned against another player with similar skill level so I can gradually get better.

The top skillsters playing Dust can take you down naked. First off, those are just words and we have to take your honor on that. If you truly won 9 out of 10 matches with that particular type of suit, post a youtube video on this thread so we can see that your honoring your words. Show us your fitting in battle screen than deploy yourself with that fit and prove it. otherwise i could tell you I got 20 wins last night and never died while running rambo on the field with only 5 million SP against a full team of Nysian Chan or how ever you spell it.
