As much as I love the idea of players naming new officer gear, this event is poorly done.
My initial problems with the event is that:
1) Only proto weapon kills are eligible, meaning only those with money to run proto for 3 days can possibly win. It will also make the protostomping problem much worse than it has to be.
2) Kills with eligible weapons of the same category are not counted together. This means if you use a Duvolle AR, and then use a Federation Duvolle AR, they get counted separately, so only the one you got the most kills with matters; this is stupid because both weapons are essentially the exact same thing. There is no reason for this rule, its not like CCP can't do addition.
I realized now that it is fundamentally worse than these 2 problems. It is a bad idea to have an event where only a small handful of super-rich super-hardcore people can possibly benefit while everyone else is effectively wasting their time.
CCP could have added other smaller rewards like "for very kill you get with X weapon, you will be rewarded 2 X weapon of the same tier" or something else, but they did not. There is no incentive for anyone else to participate except for the super-rich super-hardcore tiny tiny tiny tiny fraction of the community.
Seriously, how did they think its ok to have an event where 99.99% of the community will gain NOTHING? there should have been smaller rewards for the majority.
Seriously, what the hell kind of community event benefits only a tiny fraction of the community?

at the end of this event I'll probably still have 50 million isk
It only limits the players that:
-Aren't skilled into the weapon
-Aren't willing to risk proto gear for OFFICER WEAPONS
-Are so bad at this game that they LOSE MONEY running proto.
Seriously, if you lose isk running proto you're doing it wrong...and no, you don't need billions of isk to do it either. I guess it makes it a bit easier for certain players (as they don't have to worry about isk as much and can be more careless with their proto suits), but heck I could run this event with 10 million isk if I wanted to.
Besides, would it really make sense for someone to get to name an Officer weapon if they won using a weapon that they don't even have the skills to use said Officer weapon?
And it's slightly lore based. We're testing "prototype" weapons to develop new ones.
Not sure if trolling
You realize there will be only 12 winners right? even less if a person wins for multiple weapons. I don't find proto worth risking with that low a chance. Furthermore, you will only win 30 of the officer gear if you happen to win by some miracle; not much of a prize in my opinion.
As for your silly "only scruby noobs don't make profits while running proto for 3 days straight" BS, that argument would have a better chance of being accepted if the proto user is fighting against players with lower tier gear, meaning the proto player would be hard to kill compared to others, but if ALMOST EVERYONE else is running proto (as they will in this event) then that proto advantage is countered by everyone else's proto, and you will suffer a as many deaths as you normally would. In a battle against other proto users, you are likely to die more than twice, and thus not make a profit.
EDIT: The lore reason is a BS excuse, and doesn't even make sense. Prototype things are NOT supposed to be mass produced, but be very limited in quantity, and have bugs. If the finished product of proto is meant to be officer gear, than officer gear should be what is mass produced, but officer gear is not.
