Fine. Didn't say that you had to. But I love that you're willing to test Swarms but unwilling to test ADSs.

As for the people who pilot (the true ones you know, like in pc). You all know that 2 ADS can dominate a game, plain and simple.
Although I respect ADS pilots for their skill , 2 ADS should not dominate a whole match. keep it real.

Not jabbing him, though I am exasperated by the disparity between the willingness to test various approaches to the game. ADSs are as much a part of the game as Swarms: why does flying an ADS to better understand that side's point of view not constitute as much value as testing Swarms against said ADSs?
If both sides are to coexist, why does one take priority? Swarms definitely do not hold all of the cards, but they have some substantial advantages that should not be dismissed.
ADSs are too effective: most ADS pilots would agree. Most would argue against AV buffs, primarily because of experience fighting against them so much. There actually have been suggestions for altering ADS power balance - Numnutz brought up the idea of reducing missile damage, increasing clip size to normalise the damage and possibly tweaking ROF.
But no, let's focus on the ADS pilots not wanting AV buffed too much, and utterly ignore any suggestions that have been brought up...which is usually what happens.

New dropship pilots are flying money sinks for about a month before it fully clicks.
Yeah, essentially. I offered every ISK/Dropship I have to give Rattati an ISK buffer such that he can experience what we have to do in the air. In doing so, I had hope it would provide greater insight into the ADS/Swarm/Forge balance, considering he is the Dev in charge.
But apparently wanting a balanced view on the situation is wanting to maintain the status quo, keep my oh-so-sustainable murder machine that can never die. 
Buff away. I'll still fly, just like I did pre-1.7. I would just rather have a balanced approach rather than ramping up each side until we need to do the same again to the other/tear down what we did.
