The general consensus is........
We don't want to be locked into tiered battles.
Matchmaking simply won't work as there's not enough players.
So for me, this boils down to the fact that vets like me can spam proto rain or shine while newer players by default, can't even fight back. They simple can't afford the level of try hard that we can achieve.
I propose that proto costs are lowered, us vets will always stomp and we are not going to stop using what we have spent over a year getting at the behest of 'fair fights'.
The price only stops newer players from fighting back, its doesn't stop vets from spamming and never will. Bastards like me take it a step further and spam proto aurum.
What sparked this?,.
Iv know this for ages but I just went 34/0 against a stacked squad, I literally downed their whole squad in one sitting a few times and although I'm consistently good whatever the situation, I'm not the best by far.
Its not because they were crap, but because they didn't have the isk to fight back and I could tell that they really wanted to win even though it was a pub match. I am an amarr assault with viziam scp and scr to name one of the setups I run.
One of them was doing OK until I killed him so he had to revert to mlt gear because his one suit costed him. I could have died 100 times in full proto and not batted an eyelid. He demonstrated that gear does matter a lot more than people make out. It was not a stacked stomp either, just me.
If it was such a non factor that people propose, then I suggest its proven by running starter/mlt gear in PC with mlt/std mods against COMPETENT players that are running full proto and see how little it matters then.
Now imagine me and 5 buddies.......this is the general norm or its a proto squad aside that sees every other player in between as just fodder and meat shields that add to our payments at the end of the match.
It doesn't seem to matter at which way the game is changed, us vets will always have the isk. Lowering the price is a buff to the newbs and doesn't make a difference to vets because we have enough isk forever and the means to obtain it cost free (bpos).
I love a good stomp, but it has to stop.
I doubt they can make any matchmaking balance since there are militia/adv/proto. However, we could look at proto suits and advance suits. Advance suits costs rouchly 8,000-10,000. Proto costs 25,000 -57,000 ( basically one whole advance suits with complex modules). If they lower the price i'm ok with that, but fitting all the stots with complex gear and all proto weapons will cost more.
My proposal is that if we use a proto suit in a pub match we should gain more isk, based on how expensive the suit is.
