To Explain it in Layman's Terms:

Shoving a rep tool up a Heavies crack or a Commandos spine doesn't make you a Logi. Spamming 100 droplinks and Nanohives on a map drawing pictures of cartoons doesn't make you a logi ( funny as hell though lol ) - a logi is the one that keeps the whole team alive and aware of his surroundings , relaying information , dropping tactic Droplinks and Hives when needed. ( enough said. You get the point ) don't like scrub lazy player's making w.p's off some dumb shyt like that and lagging out the system.
But thanks to this new update all that nonsense will be over.

Let me explain in my terms. Heres your PSA for the day son:

Lets say we go to a skirmish map. Lets say the one with the underground depot. 1 proto cal logi who wants to do nothing but rep people can deploy NINE nanohives at the depot or around the objective, and then switch to a rep fit. Now a protosquad of assaults and scouts is arriving. They can each place anywhere from 2-3 peices of equipment. They can switch to a assault with hives, place them, and then switch to an assault with a scanner. No consequence.

So do the math on that. 9 hives from the cal logi and then 2 pieces of equipment each from the 6 man squad = 21 potential prices of equipment around the depot and objective. All from part timer, non logis. And thats just 7 players. Imagine what a full 16 player team could do in a Domination at that same map and objective?

Meanwhile, me, to do my job properly, i need to now be in a protofit, and i have to compete with the fact that non logis can drop dozens of pieces of equipment. This wont do much to reduce spam or enhance the logi role. All it does is reduce the ability of solo players to impact the game.

So explain to me how the "nonsense" will be over? There will still be spam, non logis will still deploy equipment immediately around them just to benefit their squads, and dedicated logis have severe limits on who they can supply and where they can get people to spawn. Right now, If there is a raging fight at "A" using my equipment, and i see that "D" is getting hacked and theres no one nearby, i can rush out to "D" in a vehicle and get some stuff down so my team can push.

After the patch though? i have to stay in a ridiculously expensive suit. After I get my stuff down at "A" im off to a low risk zone to snipe or do something else with minimal risk. I can afford to lose some ADV logi suits. I cant afford to lose proto ones. People think logis are going to just switch to repping and reviving; They are crazy if they think im going to risk a 100,000ISK suit to go help someone elses wallet.

First off, after the patch, I will be done running EQ as the suits I use now, which I can sometimes lay up to 6 uplinks with, plus use REs at will, will be deleted. As for your suits, you can still do quite a lot with ADV Logi suits, and you can run a cheaper version of the same tier once you are done placing your EQ. You don't have to fully deck out the same tier of suit for you to keep your EQ, you can stack cheap things on it and still keep your bandwidth. The whole point of this is to stop people who are not logis spamming EQ and for Logis to stop dropping lots of EQ then hopping in a heavy suit for slaying. If you are committed to the role, you should be fine. Thunderbolt. verb and noun. "James thunderbolted in his pants." "I lit a bag of thunderbolt on fire on CCP's doorway"
