I honestly don't get where you are coming from.

I have proto suits, but don't feel the need to run it precisely because I would lose money every battle. Nor do they need to be run to be effective.

PC? Absolutely. And you can make enough to justify proto.

Pubs? Forget that. Too many newbros have a hard enough time for CCP to enable the vets to run proto.

Bite the bullet and run a bunch of Ambushes in Starter fits, use that ISK to get your FW LP, and make some effective cheaper fits for your pubs skirmishes if you want to run positive.

I just don't get the mentality that mercs should feel entitled to run proto gear in the pubs all the time.

thing is i run a speed tanker gallente proto with nk's i do really well but my suit is 104k and the differnce between running speed tanker in proto and speed in advanced is astronomical, doing really well isnt enough to stay isk positive & its not fun to play in lower suits.

That is a matter of perspective.

I have lots of fun in my lower tier suits.

If you define fun as pub stomping, then I am glad that you are not able to make all that money and stomp noobs with no SP into oblivion.

This game has a hard enough time retaining new players, we shouldn't encourage anything that would further erode their experience.

lets not start a fight here, doing so would defeat the point in bringing this up, in an ideal game world it would be efficant for every one to play in there best gear so every one can have fun & for the record i one shot any thing that isnt max heavy, The knives do not discriminate.

I completely disagree. In an ideal world the economy wouldn't have been ruined by the old PC passive ISK faucet. You'd have to run cheap fits to afford the luxury of PRO occasionally when the situation calls for it. I've got over 80 mill ISK in the bank and I usually run my BPO STD suit with an ADV weapon. I rarely pull out the PRO stuff unless I'm pissed off at someone (which is dumb because I usually lose it in those situations). If everyone could run PRO all the time there'd be no point in having it. If anything, make PRO more expensive so pub stomping is less affordable. Best PvE idea ever!
