So Proto....I mean it's like why the **** not.
I come back and play the game, months away. Die a **** ton in my G-I. Cool go play vehicles.....
Uhuh nice and fun with new blasters a little and oh wouldn't you know it an HAV shows up and puts a dampener on my ****.
Back to infantry....
Hmm maybe I put together a gk,0 with a CreoDron like the good ol days and holy **** I'm playing an FPS where I can compete a little.
So but what kind of game is this: where the best is out all the time or you're not competing. Basically Proto is par and everything else is sub-par.
You get the most modules from proto thus the more versatility and options, I'd say the parameters for a more fun suit right there. A suit that you can do more with. You get the hardest hitting gear - and when it's too common place it sets the par. Proto also offers some unique **** like Thukker grenades, specialist stuff from FW.....Last but not least you probably have the best survivability chances.
Sum up:
Proto is:
+The Par
+The Best
+The most Fun
+The most versatile (exceptions: ADV ScP's)
So I mean I get that through design, proto is my reward of time. But I mean if it's so damn commonplace and inevitable why didn't we just make 2 tiers? Proto and Officer : Purchase & Salvage. I mean when you tier the purchasable the best tier will become too commonplace. You don't see officer weapons all the time because you can't just go out and buy those.
TLDR:
Seriously flawed system of ranking. More competition and fun is wrung out of proto use so really proto should've been the norm. Jussayin'.

My STD assault, logi, and heavy suit with STD ScR, ScP, CR, Assault RR, and HMG all say no too.
The scouts say yes, though.
Cool I can scrub munch with skinweave and exile like any other gremlin kid in the game but can everyone's proto gear shutdown your sub par gear? Yes, over and over and over again yes. Play a proto squad in basic gear and tell me that you can take them on with neck and neck competitiveness and have more fun and maintain the two for the whole time.....
I'm not saying you can't kill a pup with a militia grenade, but I'm saying fools would've run over 5 times the cannon fodder in proto suit and gotten more satisfaction from a well performing and less limited suit.
We are ignoring rISK because lolISK.

So I'm basically for how CCP has done the meta set-up for weapons/gear. Removing it for a standardized set stats for equal play would take away the few things left that still make Dust an EvE game.
Whoa Whoa Whoa
I'm just saying there's no more incentive to use lesser gear. Where's the fun? The competitive footing? Risk? I'm risking pennies on the imaginary dollar practically.
I'm saying that if I want to milk some fun out of this game I have to bring out the big guns to just be consistently competitive. I'm pretty rusty and all, kinda crutchin' it I guess, but man it's just not fun dying because I got out-meta'd.
I'm not trying to bring out a *****-tangent, I'm just saying that if everyone achieves the proto level at some point why not cut out the grind and just give everybody proto. I'm not against having a GEK on a gk.0, lower tier gear can be used to further your suit in another form, but I'm merely pointing out:
If You Can Proto, Why Not?
What is the reason to not run proto when ISK is of no object? Challenge yourself?
PC isn't even all that different. PC Is practically the tiercide I'm talking about. Do you find anything less than proto in PC with the exception of that one Pink Fluffy bunny who ran a GEK and placed top against [RND?]
I'm asking for a reason to not run proto when the fun of it begins to go down...
