DUST Search - CCP, I have a well thought out idea about limiting protostomping.

OMG I JUST FIXED DUST!

What if you where only allowed to use one proto suit per pub match??

How this would work:
When a player makes a fit that has a proto suit, they would only be allowed to use it once in a public game. When in a public game, all fits that include proto gear will have a bold font in the spawn screen. Once you die, you can't spawn in a proto suit again. It would say "only one proto suit per contract" or something.

Any fit with a prototype gun, suit, or equipment can only be used once in a pub match. But
players can still use unlimited prototype suits in FW and PC.

Pros:
-less OP prototype suits running around
-better New Player Experience
-better balance between new and old players
-using prototype suits will feel more special, because there use in pub games is limited
-Over wealthy vets will have to adapt.
-more skill, less about bringing the best stuff into a match.
-punishes noobs who think they're good :)
-it's easy to put this into the game, opposed to a matchmaking system (PYREX)
-this idea won't change the game too much.
-this idea does not require a large player base to pull off.

Cons:
-wealthy vets may be mad
-Less people will spec into proto suits

I think this would be a step in the right direction, and will limit pub stomping. CCP, please consider this idea.

Also bring the warbage back :)

Have you tried the MD? It makes a lot of smoke... FU and FU Dust community, you're mostly a bunch of moronic carebear crybabies. Get good.

No... that would severely deincentivize using prototype gear. I get protostomped too sometimes, but I am not going to limit someone else because they happen to be more willing to fit expensive gear than I am. I'm not saying protostomping is good for the game. No, in fact, it's probably one of the reasons Dust's retention rate is so low. I'm just saying this is not the way to combat protostomping. He imposes order on the chaos of organic evolution...

Would you really want a new matchmaking system like Pyrex suggested instead?! Until I hear a better idea, im sticking with mine :) The new commandos should have a better paint job.
