It seems disproportionately expensive for Logistics players to run true support fittings these days. By comparison, similarly tiered Assaults, Heavies and Scouts all cost less to configure.
CCP, please do us LogiBros a solid and knock down the prices of our support gear by 10% or so. We deserve to profit like every other merc.

I appreciate all the comments, but for those who didn't actually read my OP, note that there was NO reference to War Points or 'slayer' Logis. Also note (from my avatar) that I am a Minmatar which means that I am typically 10m-15m from the front line repping team/squad mates - so I am usually in a more dangerous location than non-frontline Logis. This position also makes me a common first target of the opposition. Also note, although I didn't previously mention it, that I am not yet Proto and that all my fitting goes into equipment first (and now armour rep), leaving me with just an SMG for self defence. All combined, I tend to die more than some other Logis.
In my OP I suggested a SMALL cost adjustment in Logis support equipment pricing to bring it more in line with other typically levelled (I was thinking Advanced) suits. That was all. Any other agenda can be promoted in another post.
Thank you to Lee C. for highlighting the current (significant) difference for LogiBros trying to run solo versus running with a (competent) squad. Solo is now very much a waste of time and ISK.
((Because some people have mentioned it, since 1.8 dropped I have heard a lot of people talk about how easy WPs are coming with the new Uplinks while others are complaining about how difficult WPs are to come by while Scanning. I don't specialize in either, but perhaps some WP balancing is warranted.))

Okay... Except this post is about Infantry. Specifically the Logistics support role.

No, end. (Old logi.) Logi suits (And equipements) creates WAY MORE WP than all other class. Nanohives, triage etcetc gives al ot of WP, giving more iSK, totally Balanced.
This is not entirely true. The top WP earners that I have witnessed are very often high kill players. So, if someone has a good gun game and is running a Logi suit - ie a SlayerLogi - they still seem to have an advantage in WP earning... particularly if they can drop passive support devices like Uplinks and Hives and then focus on assault-type activities.

I'm a full Logibro as well. The problem you face is one that many people face. You are running fits that you can't support based on your number of deaths to suit cost. Use LP gear. Do more Faction Warfare, run slightly cheaper variations on your current suits. I run Advanced fits and profit. And LP Proto suits (which cost the same as my advanced fits from a suit cost perspective.)
In truth, the biggest issue I face is trying to (stupidly) run competent LogiBro suits solo in Pub matches. I do quite well running with an organized squad. (PVE would certainly address this issue for those times I don't want to bother coordinating a squad.)
My original comment was regarding similarly tiered suits geared for their original roles - ie an Advanced Assault suit geared for front line work, an Advanced Scout suit geared for recon/flanking, etc. It seems that an Advanced Logi suit geared for healing/support costs more to configure. (However, considering LP gear is a good suggestion.)

Bump.
Please reduce cost of Logi equipment. (WP balancing is a separate issue.)
