 Tiericide has nothing to do with matchmaking. Tiericide and tier based matchmaking are diametrically opposed. You can't have tier based matchmaking without tiers. Please stop misrepresenting tiericide.

So a few more people made topics, explaining that it is a system in which a ceiling on gear (suits, weapons, mods) is made to attempt to fix the disparity between vet and novice players.

 Yeah, I kinda figured his multiple walls of text that each repeated the false claim that tiericide is tiered matchmaking was a deliberate attempt to confuse the issue and promote his asinine matchmaking scheme. His style of posting is more akin to a political campaign than an honest discussion.

We need many many more specializations and more game modes other than team death match and objective holding/capturing.
 Looking at Eve, it took them what 8? 10? years before they did tiericide, at which point there were hundreds of ships. We need at least a couple of dozen suits before we could do tiericide and not end up having no content to play with.
 
 New content will be easier to add post-tiericide than pre-tiericide.
 
 The reason they waited so long to do it in EVE is because it took them that long to realize it was needed. It wasn't something they planned from the beginning but had to wait until they had enough content to implement it.
 
 Tiers are pseudo-content. We wouldn't lose anything of value by getting rid of them.
