Eh, I'm okay with it. I'm not seeing so much proto-spam now, although that may be due to TZ.
Also, I'm not certain it's a bad thing that there are multiple proto-squads fighting each other :P
((Anyway did you get your voice issues fixed?))
It would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart...

We are actually seeing more balanced fights because most battles have more than one powerful squad. We think this is an amazing opportunity for our most dedicated players to put their mark on New Eden and I do hope some of our oldest veterans will come and try to claim the name to their favorite weapons. May the best player win and enjoy their reward. I think this is more of an "amazing opportunity" for those with hordes of ISK and can use proto 24/7.
Were I of a mind to participate (I'm a bad and I can't compete with the likes of Tibs) I'd have ground out the ISK for two or three weeks in advance.
Assuming I keep a KDR of 4-5 (poor for full-proto Viziam ak.0 when all I'm trying to do is farm kills, as opposed to actually trying to push points and win matches by PTFO but I'm a scrub and I'd be running solo a lot) over 7-8k kills I'd be running about 200M. Assuming, of course, I'm grinding ISK for the event, I could potentially pull like 150M in three weeks (41 hours of ambush at 200k per 'bush and 10m between matches).
On top of the huge amount of matches I'd be running in the proto suit I'd probably end up going ISK positive over the course of the event.
If I managed to find squads with good quality needles and repair tools, that could stretch a lot further.
If I was using a weapon that didn't require 8k kills to win, it'd be even easier.
Basically, if you don't have enough ISK to no-life the event, there's nothing stopping you no-lifing the three weekends beforehand to get enough.
(forgive my midnight maths, it's very 'back-of-the-napkin'.)

If you can't go isk positive in proto, you aren't going to win anyway. This certainly rules me out.  And 90% of dust players.  If you are mature enough to admit that in this game, and in life, there are probably other people who are better than you at something, then that shouldn't bother anyone. If you are aware enough to admit that the majority of the eventual winners were boosting on Oceania Server while the remainder of the playerbase ground each others resolve with both this game and event, perhaps this would have been perhaps, in the check and balance of things, a bad idea?
Dunno about you but I'm pretty sure Tiberius at the very least played it legit - I was unfortunate enough to be on the other side once in the first weekend.
I also imagine it'd be pretty easy to check who was boosting, and considering there aren't many people they need to check u don't really see it as a big deal.
Why come on to the forums anyway?
