Quite frankly, yes. This is far more damaging to the future of the game rather most of the other issues Dust has.
Sadly when new players have "grown up" and gotten to the point where they COULD protostomp they feel like "why not, no one did me any favors". Its a vicious cycle that isn't going to be resolved by player initiative.

Matchmaking cant work with so few players. Sp restrictions will be exploited
There has to be a different way to play the game than getting kicked in the teeth by invincible opposition.
Like a meta 2 match. A match that only allows up to and not including advanced tier. Let the skills do the talking.
Like a MLT Arena? That could work if MLT gear doesn't receive passive skill bonuses.
Still, would only partially alleviate the problem of whats going on in PubsGǪ

It is the responsibility of the game designers/developers to control the gaming environment so that there is a niche where people of all Ages - Maturity - Skill - Experience can find a place where they can enjoy the game and progress to a higher level without being unduly harassed by players of significantly higher Age - Maturity - Skill - Experience
This is trueGǪCCP has a history of being so enamored with promoting 'player freedom' that they are loathe and hesitant to do anything that might interfere with player's ability to do anything.
Take the Minmatar Scout's bonuses as a prime example. The community wanted the hacking speed bonus of the MinLogi to not disappear completely, and the Knife bonus was so unique it had to stay. I won't say the Min Scout is UP because of these abilities, but in the discussion of EWAR both MinScout and AmScout are irrelevant.
CCP should have an idea or flow of how each new piece of content fits in with the rest, yet sometimes it seems Dust is being designed democraticallyGǪ
