Won't be no proto suits in Legion. No more tiers.

Simple. Their won't be any tiers. Instead they'll have what's equivalent to tech levels in EVE (though they didn't call them tech levels in the presentation). You start with a basic suit (light, medium, heavy. equivalent to rookie ships), progress into a role (scout, assault, logi, sentinel is what they have so far. equivalent to tech 1 ships), then into racial suits with a further specialized variation of your role (tech 2). All suits will be bpo's so that you won't spend all that time skilling into a suit and then never be able to use it because of an ISK barrier.

Racial? **** that. Every faction in EVE has it's own Ships with specific roles at different Tech levels (excluding ORE, they're sort of their own thing). I shouldn't be an Ishukone loyalist forced to wear a Gallente dropsuit, that's just wrong.
That part's no different from what we have now, and that's just what's planned for release. They'll probably release faction suits later on. And faction ships in EVE still use the four racial skills. There's no Guristas Frigate skill.
And you get to choose your racial suit just like you do now. You're not forced into the suit of whatever race you chose at character creation.

True. Especially since there will be more ways to make ISK with the player market and being able to sell salvage.

And they felt this was wrong because the players in dust are suits, as EVE online players are ships and Valkyrie players are cockpits. Which kind of makes sense.
Not to sure if tiercide philosophy is being used in design. There were elements of tiercide in his presentation but no actual usage of the word tiercide.
Also not to sure what meta is. It wasn't described how replacing mlt, basic, adv, proto with meta would be different.
There's no need to call it tiericide if they aren't using tiers to begin with. Remember this is a new game being built from the ground up.
As far as meta levels, the suit progression is similar to tech levels in EVE, which have different meta levels. Also, salvage will come in three rarity levels, which will also have different meta levels.
