I agree with the sentiment... however, I think he places far to much blame on the player for the state dust is in.
ultimately it falls on the shoulders of the ccp dust team to make a game where this either cant happen, or is discouraged through lack of profitability. right now, for instance a district makes money for doing nothing (I call being perma locked nothing) and then can spend that money in pubs stomping and potentially just make more isk. furthermore those types of players have all appropriate skills for their roles maxed, and they can be put up against people fresh out of the academy...but I cant blame the people who do this.
they are simply playing the game ccp has built, and however distasteful, cheap, cowardly, or whatever brand you put on certain player actions and practices, ccp made it possible for them to do it, either purposely, or ignorantly.
pyrex does admit ccp needs to do something because certain players are exploiting dust mechanics, but it has been this way since FOREVER! lol....
ccp's track record has been to drag their heals on almost everything that needs fixing while adding elements that were never discussed nor a concern of the community and breaking dust gameplay even more.....
this game makes me sad....

School, work, sports, and videogames... etc
If winning is a product of giving it my all, then I apologise. However, I am not going to change.
in school do you put elementary kids in college courses?
in work do you put the responsibility of the work at hand solely in the hands of the guy who is on his first day?
in many video games are there not difficulty choices, modes of play etc?
no one says you shouldn't give it 100%, what the community needs is is more choice in who and how they are gonna fight and a fair system to do it by....
you want to show what a bad @ss proto stomper you are? do it in a match full of mercs just like you.
a new guy wants to be challenged by other mercs at his level, he should have that choice.
if I want to play games in basic gear I should have a mode I can chose to do that in without having to fight a bunch of proto bears...
etc etc...
what you're doing is fine because ccp lets you.... ccp letting you is the problem.
this game makes me sad....
