Uh, before you start bashing the CPM, you shouldn't say things you dont have proof for. I regularly see a majority of them play. Their twitter feeds also indicate that they actively play the game to get a feel for what needs to be addressed. Calm your *******.

Sentinels can't run. Sentinels just tank damage, get the easy kills, and work as deterrence. At the most they're a supportive role. Not meant to be taken as a serious offensive. In the past, Sentinel suits were much more effective and could be used for offensive purposes. Now with the weapons and better scouts, they're easier to handle.
Also logistics don't equip all that stuff so that they can get into direct combat as I assume you think by saying they stack all of that stuff on just to be fleshy. They're meant for a support role, strictly. Now I'm not too sure on the current situation with logistics but they were always meant to be fleshier than the assault and heavy, since their potential goes mostly towards equipment and supporting mods. Of course they should be able to stack on eHP mods but in the current meta, simply having more eHP doesn't change your role dramatically. As a logistics, I only put on weapons on the suits because I want to be able to give that proto stomper at least a bloody nose before he obliterates me with his proto godliness, all while trying to support the team, be it throwing uplinks, tossing hives, bring up a clone or two from termination, or repping everyone in my immediate vicinity. But the tools need to efficiently help the team are costy. Support players shouldn't be penalized this heavily from trying to help the team without slaying everything in sight.
Totally support this. Proto rep tool prices are just too damn high unless bought in the LP store. Same goes for links and hives. ._.
