Please rethink your suggestion.
It wouldnt be that big of a difference if it was a single percent per meta, and if you hadnt noticed the biggest difference is skill level required, nearly all the stats are the same or very close to isk variants, not to mention the lotalty store offers things of the same high meta so even if your right people could still compete and in the loyalty vs aurum you wouldnt be losing actually money like the aurum user Your argument is flawed
His logic is not flawed. As a long time player, I wholeheartedly agree with him, and put myself squarely in the "against this idea" camp.
The metalevel of an item is designed to be a quick reference as to the value of the item compared to other items. It represents the stats; it doesn't change them.

The metalevel of an item is designed to be a quick reference as to the value of the item compared to other items. It represents the stats; it doesn't change them. EDIT: for example, do you want an officer level item to gave a 10% bonus across the board? The game would be heavily outbalanced. Take weapon damage modifiers, for example: we've already seen how only a 2% difference effects the game when we changed the damaged modules from 5% to 3%. The 5% mods caused there to be huge difference in effectiveness and newer players were slaughtered in droves over and beyond what was reasonable. A 10% bump would be god mode. It would be balanced because everything in the game has meta level,defensive and offensive, also you cant compare this to dmg mods because they weren't working as intended with buggy stack penalties not to mention what you yoursel said they were 10% and extenders were half what they are now.
Ok - so let's say I have a meta 0 item (militia gear). Right now, I'm likely to lose versus someone with Advanced gear, but I still have a decent shot of winning. Add a bonus for meta - I lose. Every. Damn. Time.
No, the idea is without merit.

Jesus FFS can you be any more of an *******? If that's the only objection wtf wouldn't we just lower the meta level of all aurum to be the same or slightly below the regular variants. There's no need to be such a douchenozzle though. 
You are over-reacting. I've seen posts 100% worse than this. The only thing he said that was overly direct was "abosuletly not" and that wasn't that strong of a response. He even politely asked the OP to "please rethink your idea", asking him to come up with another idea that resolves his issue.
You just validated my reasoning in not voting for you by attacking someone giving legit feedback to an idea that I suspect is contrary to your own. If you behave like this for all such ideas that are contradictory to something you like, then you truly don't have a place on CPM.
