DUST Search - What's with the cloaks on scouts?

I know that cloaks are supposed to be that "hidden weapon" for scouts, since they tend to have low armor and whatnot, but there is a serious design flaw that I would like to point out. There are, in fact, scouts who have 500 armor and high shields, in addition to the ability to add a cloak. Slap a shotgun onto that and this dropsuit will be used very frequently in public games. (Which is ongoing).

Furthermore, I would like to add that most of the players on Dust 514 are very veteran-like. Therefore, this leads many of the players in public and factional games to have advanced or proto suits. Yeah, and these suits are pretty powerful. So already, the new players are faced and matched up against highly-experienced, no life players. No offence, but its true. CCP, you might be scaring away all the new players (including me) with an established community that has access to considerably strong equipment.

Please re-evaluate the "most-complained items" in-game. You guys do work hard, but you could also draw some experience from other FPS games so far..

For example, an ACR or ballistic vest in Call of Duty doesn't make you a super-player. It seems to me that time spent playing is rewarded with over-the-top items. Perhaps find another way to reward these players?

Thank you and I hope I did not offend.

I am in the process of buying a home, and have a regular social life. Yet I still run proto in public matches when the mood strikes me. I am not a "no life player", but am a highly experienced veteran player. Your use of the phrase "no offense" does not excuse you for the rudeness, and I will happily pull out my proto fits if I see you on the field now, just in response to your insult. Challenge accepted! In a less confrontational way: - your character will get access to this tear even if you are a casual player. New Eden is designed to be more of "throw them to the fire" environment to match the fact that the player base is older - the average age of players here is late 20's to mid 30's, not teenagers like CoD. Getting off high horse now. Yes, pun intended.
