I don't why people keep complaining that they keep dying by cloaked scouts?
USE TACTICS!
Seriously how hard is it to stay with the pack and watch your back every so often?
Or how bout stop sprinting so u can see the cloaked guy right in front of your face?
Or run a fit where u see cloaks.....this is what Dust is for...so u can adapt!

I think Tactics is the wrong word here I think you mean combat awareness, Eye Holes or pay attention.

Looking for scouts requires a different kind of focus and awareness that you wouldn't normally require when you're scanning your surroundings for uncloaked suits. Which is not to say looking for one makes you blind to the other, but in my experience thus far if I look for scouts I find them but leave myself open to being flanked by other suits (you're basically looking harder for longer to pick up on the shimmer), and if I need to concentrate on dealing with non-cloaked frames I end up hearing "PAFF-PAFF" and I am abruptly dead.
It doesn't help that the scout comprehensively beats you in the awareness stakes too thanks to their superior passive scanning, right down to knowing what direction you are facing at any given moment. That's a real killer.

People are arguing about it the same as with tanks. It's not about playing the game. It is about a feature of the product being too prominent and skewing the game play too much in favor of that method of play versus, in this case, standard straight, conventional infantry combat.
I'm all for making things more interesting. But when you add something that makes certain tactics so easy to spam that whole groups, like Nyain San, depend on it and turn the game play too much toward that play style then there is a problem.
If CCP put a farting duck in the game that made getting kills easier and everybody naturally starts using it because of the advantage would you approve of that? Would you be willing to allow that sort of thing in what is supposed to be a serious, conventional styled (despite the sci-fi genre) combat game?
This is not an occasional tactic. Almost everybody is freakin' using it! They won't stop using it. It isn't going to just die down after awhile. It is an advantage that undermines the straight on combat playstyle that up until a week or so ago (since Dec if you count tank spam) this game had.
I play scout and liked the idea of a cloak. This incarnation though undermines the scout role for people like me by making it too FOTM in addition to the standard combat playstyle.
If something is in the game I'll pay attention to it. If it is not then I don't need to worry about it. A lot of people don't want the cloak in the game at all. It doesn't have to be there and is a quick, lazy fix on CCPs part to solve problems they can't develop fast enough otherwise. Why not bigger maps with more players? Why not different move and tuen speeds for suits? These were things they had and had problems with it so they took it out.
F*ck dealing with something within the game as a player. What kind of game are you making for your customer base CCP?
