I see how you like to tell the new players to "HTFU" and adapt your tactics because it's supposedly easy to kill you, so why not prove it?
My challenge, is to run a completely new character for the period of 1 month, and then post your stats. Since it's relatively easy to kill "Protobears" with teamwork, this should be a cakewalk.
However to simulate the NPE, you are not allowed to transfer ISK into the new character, nor are you allowed to run with a squad of players wearing PRO gear themselves.
If your up for it, then why not eh?

Good call.

Be sure to post pics of your stats at the end of the match, and the characters lifetime stats.

But that's not properly simulating the NPE, so it would create a flaw in the experiment.

Be sure to post pics of your stats at the end of the match, and the characters lifetime stats. i've been doing "the challenge" since i made that character 3 months ago, i'm not gonna waste my time posting pics for your butthurtness about proto users. I'm not butthurt. I've been playing on this character for almost year now, and have access to the funds necessary to protostomp pubs for the rest of my DUST 514 career. I could easily pull out a tank or PRO gear myself if I'm up against people wearing them.
I was actually trying to help you guys. By doing the fulfilling the challenge, you'd prove that it's easy to kill PRO suits with tactics and teamwork, and that the playerbase simply needs to HTFU. It's not that hard, so why not?
You know you've got them good when they begin to make baseless assumptions and pull the "leul ur butthurt bruh" card. Can you please flash that e-peen a bit clearer? I need some note's on the pubstomper's average e-peen size as well. I'm having quite an interesting trip into the mind of a pubstomper.
edit: Also, what would this character's name happen to be?

How to kill a proto at any level...... Minimal skills required 1. Smash him with a milita ship 2. Get above him and drop an RE on his head 3. If you can't shoot him, run him over 4. Shoot him in the face point blank with a shotty. 5. Send hate mail to distract him, then sneak up behind him with a nova knife 6. Call in a free lav to land on his head 7. Push him into acid pit 8. Pay a red a large ammount of isk to drive/fly him to redzone. 9. Plant re's on a dropship for him to steal (priceless) 10. #10 ways to kill a proto.........Drum roll........... out smart him!!! Brain beats bronze every time.
Ironically all 9 of those reasons only work on pubstars.
Who's QQing? I'm simply running an experiment to see whether or not they could do it under the same terms and conditions as a new player.
But since "outsmart him" is on the table, I assume you'd be willing to do so by taking the challenge?

Michael Arck wrote:You say that as if it can't be done. You say post stats like the those who can't run proto have extremely good stats. In effect, you wouldn't get the results you want because those who run protobear don't often rely on it as a crutch. Of course its a possibility that their stats won't be great as they like but it still will be better than those who can't run the protos.
So truly what will this show? Will it cause the protos to have an epiphany? No. It will just make them more lethal since they've been playing in weak MLT suits. You do know some folks do run MLT fits or have alt characters where they don't level them up just so they can train in weak MLT fits to better their game in higher tiered suits, right? There is no "desired" result here.
This is not to induce sympathy. It's simply to prove whether or not they can consistently do well against other players in PRO gear while under the conditions of a new player, as they constantly claim.

@Micheal Arck
When I said "conditions" of a new player, I meant that they wouldn't have their passive/core skills to rely on. They also wouldn't have access to a vast amount of ISK, nor would they have the luxury of playing with others in a squad.
Being a new player doesn't necessarily mean you are terrible. Keep in mind, this is a FPS title. It is quite possible to be a new player who has a great aim and accuracy with the rifles simply because he's played other FPS games.
I hear them constantly tell new players to simply "get good" because (under their assertion) it's relatively easy to kill players in PRO gear by using tactics and outsmarting them. I'm not saying they couldn't, and I'm not saying they could. This will simply prove which side of the coin is correct.
Additionally, I didn't respond to Leadfoot10 simply because I didn't have the time to do so. I'm not really sure why your under the assumption that I expect the player to fail the challenge, but if you want to assume so, go ahead.
Nothing more, nothing less.
@norttheantiv
First off, please put some pants on. I have no desire to look at your @$$.
I'm not trying to place blame onto anyone, and I am well aware of the fact that the NPE is terrible. I just want to prove which side of the coin is right with something other than anecdotal evidence.
