This has been floating around between me and a couple of a friends that I've been speaking to for a while, so I thought I'd throw it up on the forums(There's probably already a threat floating around like this somewhere).
Teired Battles:
We all have teired equipment; STD, ADV, PRO
Now with this in mind, along with the proto stomping, you COULD do the same with pub matches, or FW even.
Basically, You have three teirs; STD, ADV, and PRO battles.
Pretty simple right? It doesn't really get that much more complicated anyways. Nonetheless, the validity of your suit is determined based on your weapons, and suit, not your modules, grenades, or equipment(although, I don't quite think the scanner can be looked over...nor the Core Locus Grenade)
First off, If you have an ADV Gallente Logistics fitting listed in your suit fittings, then it becomes invalid when you que for STD, or PRO battles. BUT, if you have an ADV Gallente Logistics with Complex Armor Plates, PRO Nanohives, and PRO Rep Tool, so long as the weapons are ADV as well, and you que for an ADV battle then it is a valid suit.
Thought of benefits: Well, if the battles are teired, then the ISK payout, and LP payout can be modified based on the teir. Higher the teir, the higher the payout in order to support your need to proto stomp, but only in prototype battles. Nobody wants to run out of money, and use ADV, or STD items in order to get their money back, and run proto again. I hate it when I have to do it, because I'm such a poor ass person.
#2: The STD Batles can serve as the Academy for the newer players, and they can stay in that teir for as long as they feel the need to. Hell, even veterans can backtrack into the lower teir battles so long as they have a corresponding suit for that battle. But it wouldn't quite be recommended, as the ISK payout would be so low, that it'd be worthless unless you outright enjoy stomping little nooblets, and you have no care for ISK. In that restrospect, all the more power to ya.
#3: the ISK imbalancing would be balanced MUCH easier through Dust, pretty much removing the need for district farming. Of course, the payout could be larger for PC Battles, than the proto pubs as it takes 100k ISK to change structures on disstricts, and who knows, CCP might have more ISK usage plans for districts in the future. Because...right now, all they really are at the moment are little trophies you can hang on your wall, and say, "Hey, hey, hey you...look at this stuff. See how cool I am?"
Feedback is appreciated, but please, no being mean about it. I don't mind productive criticism whether it's mean, or harsh. But if you're just going to post, "NO, YOU'RE STUPID!" I can certainly tell you just how much you benefit the world, which...isn't much.
Your face is something to shoot, so I will shoot. Don't be offended, I do it to everyone.
