They do it to keep their K/D shiny and fear their reputation would be sullied otherwise. Take Kalante Schiffer, now I KNOW he is probably reeling in ISK 24/7, however I only ever see him in proto gear in Pc, he still wrecks people in his ADV gear in pub matches. I try and be the same these days, and only pull proto in pubs when I really think it is necessary.

King I see you in your full proto most of the time I won't lie, and don't get me wrong I have the utmost respect for you, your corporation and your gun-play but when I've seen you in ADV gear you drop dead quick. Keep running your ADV gear or lower and actually improve your skill, stop using proto gear as a crutch even though you can afford it. That advice goes out to everyone. I have no problem with 'proto-stomping' and I never have, but for the betterment of one's self I do believe running prototype 24/7 is a very bad idea.

I don't agree. Yes I die quickly but that happens in proto aswell, we're talking about 1 extra enhanced plate, enough to tip the scale in a Close 1 vs 1 but nothing at all when facing 3+ players. I got several games With 23-1, 25-1 22-2 and the like yesterday. Moatly its still forge guns, snipers and tanks that kill me, proto doean't make any difference in that regard.

I see it more as a "crutch" for the general community. The "he used proto" crutch is all over the Place, not thinking of you personally.

Oh don't get me wrong, I get my ass whooped in proto gear a lot. Almost more so than ADV because people see me with Proto and they're eager to take it off. My point really is that just because you CAN run proto, doesn't mean you have to. I've gotten to a point now where with my adv I can take on most proto assaults, and with my ADV heavy I can take on most proto Heavies. It's a good training point I'd recommend it highly. Also, many people have suggested good ideas along the lines of trying out new areas that require more skill and patience that what you and I do. Knifing, plasma cannons, flaylocks, Laser rifles, Commandos. Something ridiculous. I have a surplus of ISK too, and I mainly use it to support my friends and invest in new toys to play with rather than just my assault weapons :) Director // Major // BurgezzE.T.F Challenge me to Thunderdome.

And I get a sick pleasure from taking out proto players while using a suit that's cheaper than most proto modules. So run what you want, even if it's full proto all the time; what matters is having fun and fighting interesting games. ^ Pretty much what I meant. It's way more satisying thrashing a good enemy with cheaper ****, knowing you're whooping their ass and turning a profit while they're gettin' beat and losing ISK!
