@CCP:

In political philosophy, it is learned that the state has the DUTY to protect it's citizens from themselves. You as the metaphorical state, have the duty to protect us from ourselves by stopping us from killing this game

Fck that noise, the state only has a duty to protect it's citizens from others; so to correct your second sentence, they have a duty to protect new players from us by stopping us from killing this game

That's only part of that duty, the state has a duty to protect it's citizens for themselves, ie. no smoking in certain places etc., no texting and driving. Yes both of those examples can effect others, but remove other people from the scenario and who do they hurt? Themselves.

The Both of those are about protecting people from others. Protecting people that would have done those without the law from themselves is just an inevitable side effect. Protecting people from themselves as a side effect of protecting people from other is just fine but to say they have a duty to protect people from themselves is a bullsh!t excuse made up to justify the state having more power than it ought to and anyone saying they have that duty can go straight to fcking hell.

You as the metaphorical state, have the duty to protect us from ourselves by stopping us from killing this game. Now this is not all your fault, but you can help and take steps to prevent crap like this. We as the community need to grow a pair and accept the fact that a lot of us are being tools right now. I know I'm guilty of stomping every once in awhile, and I never forget what it's like to be the new player on the battlefield, but recent events and combination of buffs, nerfs and new weapons etc have completely made the community go nuts. Dont get me wrong, I like the new stuff, it adds flavour to this game, but you cannot add things and expect them to be used properly and in a correct manor by the community. Yes it's a game and you can customize your character to do literally anything (related to the game of course), but that does not give you the right to go and destroy the player base. PC is a great example, proto stomping is a great example. Both of these things are examples of the community killing itself. CCP, you need to stop this madness. If this stuff is not fixed soon (I don't mean like in a month soon.....although that would be nice) this game will die. Alpha Response Command (ALREC) The premier training corp for commandos.
