as for the herd of squads dominating solos and rarely facing a MATCHED squad, i propose implementing a some sort of use of the total data of spent skill points of each player and time spent IN game in a given squad, time to be the deciding variable of how many skill points are too many.
take this and modify it as you will, this is just an idea but if you guys can spit ball ideas on how to make this better but we need to stop proto stomping squads some how... Join a squad, this is a team game not "Call Of Duty TM"
Proto squad will stomp a not-proto squad.
The issues are real. Even if few people can articulate them well in a post.

Not necessarily true, some of the issue with this assessment is that it doesn't take ingenuity of players in to account nor does it take strategy or tactics into account.
You say this like it's the rule rather than the exception.
I run solo. protostompers don't even phase me.

Dust isn't meant to be fair. If it was, there would be no progression.
The progression is in SP. I can't count the number of "straight-to-proto" dingbats who are confused as to why my quafe suit with nothing other than militia mods and guns pops them like zits.
If you deleted proto tomorrow from the game the protostomping "problem" would not go away.
Why?
Skillpoints.
Everyone's so monofocused on the gear that hardly anyone realizes that it's the skill points that are DUST's actual force multiplier.take asquad of protostompers and drop them into all STD/MLT gear and the result is exactly the same. If you give them coordination the problem multiplies.
Is this a problem per se?
No.
Is it a problem that new players are allotted 1000 warpoints earned before we drop them in with these players?
Absolutely.
Do I have any sympathy for anyone who is b*tching that it's unfair because they want to play solo?
No. Not even jokingly.
My only real concern or care about protostomping is the fact that there is zero newbro tolerance there. And they have no chance if they've been spotted unless they are protected by an entire squad of experienced vets who are actively walking them through the game.
That is the protostomp problem.
Solo complainers about stomps can go die in a fire if they have more than 10m SP.
