2) As for outsmarting and outfighting ...I'm with you on this with a couple caveats. The way the game is constructed right now less than a 100 players can rampage through PC and just about shut out the few thousand other players since Dust / gaming is essentially a part time job for them. That is pretty handy accomplishment and I have a healthy amount of respect for that. But it's not healthy for the game long term.
IMO that is the big problem with PC and Dust in general. CCP has promised us Mag or PS2 sized battles, but instead we get just bigger than KZ sized battles. I said this was going to be a problem the very day Foxfour laid out how PC would work. All you need is 16 tryhards and PC is yours. Great for inflating the nerd egos of these elite players, but bad for the game. Add on top of that all this passive ISK that these people have farmed from PC and you not have a major barrier to anyone who wants to participate in anything above pub matches, but you have people who can run the best stuff in pub matches and absolutely ruin the experience for new players.

I don't know Kain and I've never been a fan of most of his goons, but I will say this for him and the Imperfects crew. Since way back when I first joined closed Beta they have always been quick to point out to CCP their mistakes and then use what they told CCP not to do to "break the game" demonstrating that they were right. I could be wrong but I think PC implementation was one of those things they said was being implemented poorly from the beginning and would turn into the "blue donut" and now they are once again proving they were right by making it happen. They are showing CCP that band aids like their district locking fix don't cut it and fundemental change is needed.
Or they are just being greedy bastards

IF PC is a gamemode meant to be enjoyed by the masses (which it is not, it is the "end game" afterall), then the only way to feasibly fix this "problem" is to press the "reset" button on PC (and in a way, the isk that has been milked from it for the past year) and change the fundamental dynamics of how it works.
If the profits from PC didn't affect us masses so much I would give exactly zero f*cks about what happens in PC. The problem is the limitless supply of cash it gives these folks to LOLstomp through pubs, which with no PC to actually fight they have nothing else to do playing this game
