My objectives in DUST, in order are:
Win, and have fun
If you can't have fun, win
If you cant win, have fun
If you cant win OR have fun.....
edit your fittings.
Where is an acceptable place to pull out Proto gear? I played the game for 2 years to be able to wear my best fits.....1 game a day? or 2?
Only pull it out if somebody else does? So I should tank my first death in a starter suit to "Get a feel" for what the enemy team is doing?
There are some really weird perspectives in the community I promise. It's cool because we are all here to play our own game I guess....
I personally feel like I do a bit better in my ADV gear because the tension of losing ISK (which I dont know why it's tense I have tons of ISK) makes me alter my playing, but I do like to whip out the easy mode here and there. The same reason I try to play as much of the match as I can NOT in my heavy suit, it does feel a bit cheap. However, everybody should be free to do what they feel, run what they want, and get whatever result they want. After all it's "just a game" right?
Edit: I also only squad with people I enjoy playing with, and when they aren't available I do run solo. I'm only available to play when I have the time, and I would rather not waste it trying to fill a squad with people I can count on to watch my ass, if I cant trust players for that Id just as soon not have any green dots deluding me.

But the game just feels too random to me right now. It's like we've got 1/50th of a Sandbox but 80% of the playerbase (totally pulled out of thin air) is playing like this is some huge MMO.
The death of the dust sandbox was the worst part of everything. I had the impression that one day eve and dust would fully merge and it would have been ******* insane awesome. that **** ain't happening and that is a real ******* shame.
Truth on both parts, the dust community is split between ppl who don't know what it was striving for, ppl who never cared, ppl who are delusional about it, and ppl who are realistic. The folks left in games are all playing for different reasons, winning, having fun, just to shoot stuff, and out of habit in the hopes of a brighter future. Ppl still feel obligated to cap weekly scared that they may miss even a drop of sp in case legion is transferable. DUST is like limbo.

The beauty of Dust is found when playing AS A TEAM. The game is f'n AMAZING when you put the right combo out there, your tactics work and you win.
CCP did a crappy job pushing the team element. It's their fault that they didn't provide a team deploy mode to prepare/practice for PC. FW would have been PERFECT for that.
They did. It was called corp battles, but once again, CCP found a way to ruin the best thing about dust... The problem was player count........ Can't have 5000 players split between ambush,dom,skirm, fw,pc AND corp battles. That would be overkill. 
To be honest, if there were reasonable wait times between FW, and corp battles...I would rarely play public matches. I have so much isk to spend and I prefer team oriented modes rather than solo oriented ones. The only reason I solo now is to grind isk or because my guys arent on or available....there may be more space for new players and lone wolves to operate if the organized squads/teams had somewhere to play.

That just means we are all buried under the conundrum that is DUST. Disparities exist, and people exploit them. This game certainly does not give you a clear understanding of what it is when you walk through the door, and what it is...is NOT casual. The playing field certainly isn't level, and new players are fighting uphill, but what the OP is saying, is that if not eliminate...there are definitely ways to close the gap, such as squadding, joining a corp, learning the ropes during the grind. Many players are not down for that, and this game doesnt have a kiddie pool where you can go splash about and figure it out(R.I.P Oceanic.). I spent TONS of isk getting shot down and crashing dropships before I learned how to fly, because there is no flight sim, or training ground, and this is just one example of how you have to fake it til you make it.
At the end of the day, maybe some of these stomp squads and Q syncs are emotionally childish, unstable individuals who want to feel like god by walking through 60 mere MLT mortals without dying, being the quintessential Action Hero. If they have the gear, and are able to use it....well....
This game really is geared toward the team player, the communicative player. You are at a significant disadvantage otherwise before you even factor in the Meta Levels.
But yeah it definitely is what it is lol
