Well, if there is any thread out there that has the power to change my mind about tieracide it would be this thread. The point about the BPOs and AUR gear is very convincing especially.

You have infinite isk and SP
Justify not using prototype gear.
Assuming the economy is in full swing and PC gets fixed, ISK. ISK will justify not using pro gear like we see now.

Justify not using prototype gear. Assuming the economy is in full swing and PC gets fixed, ISK. ISK will justify not using pro gear like we see now. Imagine paying ten million ISK for a proto setup. Edit: one more thing. If the economy and of is fixed, no one will have infinite ISK. That doesn't answer the hypothetical which is regardless a highly possible situation without the artificiality. Infinite isk and more SP than that suit can ever use in any type of situation Justify not using prototype.
Then no one can justify not using proto in that situation. This is why fixing PC is important first and foremost to address the infinite ISK problem in addition to dealing with alt-recycling exploiters.

To clarify, it is true that tiers are not similar to tech levels. In Eve Online, a tier is represented by the skill level needed to operate a ship.
Looking back at Eve Online (pre-tieracide), Mining Barges were Tech 1 while Exhumers were Tech 2 (or Exhumers=MiningBarges+1). Mining Barges use to come in 3 separate tiers. tier 1 was the Procurer, with tier 2 being the Retriever and tier 3 being the Covetor. Exhumers had the Skiff, Mackinaw and Hulk in the same tiers respectively within their own tech level.
So if you had trained up Mining Barges to Level 3, you were able to operate the tier 3 mining barge. The same goes for the Exhumers.
Nowadays, all Mining Barges and Exhumers are at tier 1 but the Exhumers require more skill investment than the Mining Barges to operate. So it's still a sort of tiered system somewhere in there but they are sidegrades rather than upgrades to the Mining Barges. The Noctis, Orca, and Rorqual however are tiered to each other due to the ORE Industrial Skill Book but they are completely separate from each other in terms of class with the Noctis being a dedicated salvager, Orca as the Industrial Command Ship and the Rorqual being the Capital Industrial Ship.
I hope I didn't confuse anyone further with this. If so, I will let you take one good stab at me. XD
