What do you think it sounds like to people who read what you post, when you fail to distinguish between logis not doing their job, and logis not doing their job FOR YOU, the guy who doesn't want to squad with logis?
What do you think it sounds like to people who read what you post, when you complain about an insufficient number of uplinks being dropped by logis, and your proposed solution is to devalue running a logi?
The charitable reading of your posting in this thread is that you're trolling a bit.
The better solution to the "problem" you're complaining about is removing REs from the game. That way everyone will have one less piece of equipment to compete with fitting uplinks. We don't need REs to fill the gap between grenades and proximity explosives anyway. Right?
That is a much better solution to this outlying problem you're complaining about, than your proposed solution, which boils down to "buff what I want, because I want it."
There's nothing wrong with wanting what we want. I want to play an FPS with complex fitting options, diverse roles, and big enough teams to make for some interesting team tactics, including a logistics role that isn't devalued to the point that almost no one puts up with running logistics. I don't generally try to get what I want, by insulting people. It can be fun, but its just not as persuasive as you may imagine.
How did you expect the people reading your posts to react to the way you chose to present what you want? Credibility is a kind of authority. There is no better way to enhance your authority that to use it well; no better way to undermine your own authority than to use it badly. Think before you post. Delete most of what you compose, so only your better compositions get posted. We can learn a lot from playing games, and posting about them, i.e. how to think well, and how to be persuasive.

Its called "asking a question." It can be done politely, if you're really after information, rather than trying to persuade people that your proposal to loosen the bandwidth restrictions was a good solution to the "problem" with which you opened the thread.
I'm not suggesting that you should write to get people to like you. I'm suggesting that trolling or petulant arguments aren't the best way to persuade or learn from others.
If you don't really think that "Logis aren't doing their jobs," if that was just a clever way to promote interest in your thread, if you were really just looking for information, then what was the real question you wanted to ask, but were concerned might be ignored if you asked it too politely?
