If you read the post it shows tiericide will reinforce the gap its it trying to address.

1. Tiericide doesn't fix the balancing issue in matches, it reinforces the gap between "rich and poor" so to speak via suit, modules, weapon bonuses afforded by SP. By restricting the suit one can wear, you aren't addressing any balancing issue but in fact cement it because even if a suit and outlook is exactly the same, the higher SP will win very gun battle given the same skill level due to his inherent bonuses.

I clearly show this 3 times, by addressing issues in roles (min scouts + cloaking), heavies (very hard to skill into sentinels early, and racial/weapon bonuses providing massive advantages. So Player A spawns and is at a disadvantage every time. Like I said, most people early on are restricted to assault or Logi because heavies and scouts are not realistic and not usable early on. So you have Player A, limited, without bonuses, without specialization and role optimization, without suit or weapon optimization so you have reinforced disparity.

Go make a alt, grab a level 1 weapon like the CR or RR, things people really spec into, and see if you see a massive difference. Now add 15% damage vs armor to a gun vs a std suit! one weapon is going to eat the suit while the other one will not. Now consider the difference between a std assault with no SP boosts against a sent with all its boosts. You gonna say, just not have sentinels allowed? Gonna say since scouts are really able to use cloaks early that experience scouts can't use them too? You going to say let's limit suits and guns to std but disregard the proficiency to damage, recoil/accuracy, PG reduction, rapid reload, etc..

2. By dividing matches into suits, it will take longer to find matches and it will lead to more pros vs joes, as the pros will just select the std suit type matches and tear the players up you should be trying to protect. But a suit tier system doesn't protect them, it highlights them which leads to abuse, stomps, unbalanced matches.

3. No AUR incentives, no reason to chase the next level when levels are limited.

4. Exploitation. Suit levels doesn't limit or balance greater than SP does. If you are limiting suits, skill will shine but experience and bonuses will shine more, so it doesn't help New Player A. It again, keeps the new player down and at a disadvantage.

5. Try taking down vehicles. You can't remove vehicles, they are of major importance to the game providing roles, more diversity, more options to the same old mundane infantry vs infantry which is tiresome, they are a positive to the game not a negative. You can't just go around limiting everything, removing everything, making useless rules on everything because no1 will want to play. Options are a positive and limiting suits doesn't provide balance it provides needless limits to a game that cant afford to turn more players off.

Like i said, if you wanted to talk about weapons, or more issues i can name a few more. The idea isn't to limit, rather to keep matches balanced and not keep the same old gap between rich and poor.

Tiericide - i showed you the std Amarr sentinel suit maxed out with bonuses, thats 1100+ eHP with 15% projectile def and 10% hybrid defence added. I would like you to show me std builds without bonuses (like new players and rookies experience) that can effectively take out this sentinel without using an RE.

There is no way a scout is going to get close without being seen, plus there is no way to equip a cloak, so it's basically a walking 170 eHP frame. A sentinel + HMG takes a lot of SP to spec into to get to std fit, both are no reasonable nor affordable early. Commandos are a little easier to get into due to weapon being lower SP, but there's no bonus damage so taking down 1100+ eHP + resistance isn't easy. Now assault and Logi are left. Both are the more likely choice of the noob, both lack the mobility or the damage or the defense to be able to stand toe to toe.

Now this is how you spawn, arguing that a proto fitting is better than a std suit isn't an argument to disprove anything. Tiericide reinforces the disparity of vets to noobs. Shows vets where to find noobs, and provides massive advantages to vets based on SP bonuses. Just because you think tiericide prevents Proto vs std battles that it has to be the best answer is very flawed logic. The argument is invalid, weak, and narrow minded.

The goal is to keep vets away from noobs, tiericide doesn't accomplish that either. So you basically took one side of the argument because you think it offers the removal of Proto vs std suits, when there are better solutions that you've ignored in favor of a quick, terrible fix.

2. TIERICIDE IS TIER-GEAR MATCHMAKING. IT LIMITS THE SUIT ONE CAN USE IN A BATTLE TO CREATE A "CEILING". The idea is that if everyone has a ceiling no one has an advantage, this is untrue.

5. Vehicles do not follow the tier system, they are the exact same as the suit system. They have more slots, shields, armor etc at higher levels. As well their skill provide substantial bonuses.

Tiericide limits variety, I've clearly shown that. It is impossible for a new player to be a cloaked scout. Now disprove it. A BASIC M-1 frame is 115 CPU and 30 PG, a cloak is 160 CPU and 35 PG. Now without CPU and PG upgrades on the low slots its impossible to equip. Now with both CPU and PG std mods you are in the negative on CPU and have 3 PG. So try me. Show me how this basic frame without any SP can compete with a std match when that Amarr Sent is 1100+ eHP and wrecks faces

WHY WOULD YOU DISREGARD ISK? Fix the broken PC rewarding huge ISK, yes, but ISK is the system.

What are you talking about?! Tiericide is limiting suits, you clearly do not understand. What incentives do you have, well there is no incentives for new players because they cannot fully use the suit (can't afford upgrades, bonuses, etc). There is no role playing, you can't be HMG heavy because you can't afford it early on, you can't be a cloaked scout so they do diverse roles are gone.
