Yet Rattati has the nerve to say that it is "in line with the other rifles, and where we want it to be." thank you for the tool. its evident that scout/light suits are being used nearly twice as much as most other suits Um thanks?
What...

If they're dying more than the sales would actually be going up as more SCRs would be purchased upon restocking the dropsuit fitting. Then there's the whole "quantity does not equal quality" thing. An easy example: you'll notice that Commandos and Assaults are the least purchased, despite the fact that they are both very good (at least where the Matari versions are concerned). Alright. Yup.
The Nerf to the ScR somehow made it better... Survivability went up because of the Nerf, so people are buying less. Sure.
No. People are buying less because its a price of crap right now. It needs a damn buff. But Rattati has his head so far up the Federation's Ass that he isn't willing to admit it because of all the nice ARs up there.

we have to correlate purchases to restock(due to deaths) or stock up (due to incentive - f.ex. buff), versus spawns (decision to use) - versus volume (kills) versus efficiency (kills/spawn)
Then we can couple it with dropsuit and weapon combination
and then we can filter by Battle Type (Planetary Conquest vs Factional Warfare vs Public Contracts) and look at some correlations
We have been working on hardening our methods and I am currently working on a blog.

It will show you just how viable some things are in a competitive, competent, environment.... A place where I don't have to worry about blues stealing my LAV....it's glorious!

In the same way, I can't see the validity of Atiim's argument; I logged on for the first time in months yesterday (internet troubles) and played with a few friends; I was running Amarr Assault and CalLogi, and while everyone else in the squad had access to one or more (usually more) medium suits, to a man they stated that the durability of a medium (or commando, I suppose) is practically irrelevant next to the power of a heavy suit, or the speed and EWAR of a scout suit. And I played for two hours and I have to say, I wouldn't be able to bear soloing in a medium frame. (For the record, my Amarr Assault has over 1k EHP on top of 20 hp/s armour).
Now, I'm not trying to suggest that the mediums need to be buffed further, or that the AR has been overbuffed so much as I think perhaps there are more endemic problems to the game, like the very nature of EWAR?

Hey, you can see where Viktor bought all his plasma cannons.
EDIT: @Kirk - I bought a number, but not enough for a spike of that magnitude. I bought something like 5000 alloteks across several days, Viktor bought literally hundreds of thousands of STD placons.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.
