You aren't supposed to be able to run proto in pubs. Proto is the big gun you pull out when you need to win regardles of the cost. Making suits and modules cheaper will just result in vets like me saying "screw honor I'm going to pub stomp because there is no reason not to." Sure, I could already run proto for months with my current isk reserves, but I don't because I'd loose isk, which I hate doing. No you really don't want more people running proto since that isn't going to help new players.

The problem your attmpting to address is the massive isk imbalance we are facing. I've been tanking about this for about a year now actually and your solution, make everyone rich is not going to result in a fun diverse battlefield. No what we need are interesting and attractive isk sinks. Something that will get the vets like me to thow our money away so we can't come into every pub match in proto gear.

Clearly we both agree that there is a problem with me having hundreds of millions of isk but I will tell you giving everyone that much money won't make the game fun for new players. No, what we need to do is make everyone poor, which will make all of our quests for isk so much more rewarding.
