Though CCP Ratati said that he would be looking into having a gamemode where players aren't able to squad up, which should alleviate some of the 'protostomping'.[/quote]
I've suggested this... I also added ( so you can still squad ) a 1 min battle bridge time, and a timer once on the bridge or leaving battle (5-10) min so people don't just leave and rejoin till there on the "right" team, or just leaving when getting beaten. I don't think proto gear is as big of a problem as organized groups of vets stomping groups of new players.
Leave PC and factional for those who only want to play with those they know, for a "higher tier" of competition. Possibly increasing payout of LP to make it attractive, since every time I try to do factional I wait 5-10 minutes ( vs 15-30 sec for public ) in search before giving up and going back to a public match search.

I would love to see this proved... As a veteran during your next 10 PC battles against multiple simalarly skilled groups, convince your corp to run nothing but starter suits with only basic or milita gear, please use your best players, while encouraging opposing team to do the same and post the results.
Btw this is not a troll it's a challenge. Imagine the bragging rights.

I think the problem is not actually proto stomping. It's q-syncing groups of vets.
It's like 16 navy seals vs. 16 high school cheerleaders...tho I bet the seals will have a blast.

You can get away with std weapons though, I run a toxin ar.
I mean full officer/proto vs. starter suits only. Vets vs. vets

Thats why I think it's not squading or gear that's the problem it's vets q-syncing, almost guaranteeing an imbalance.
That's not competition. That's NFL vs. high school football players. Mix the teams up.
