One Eyed King Nos Nothi 8841	Posted - 2015.03.26 22:09:00 - [61] - Quote Its almost like some of the people who posted didn't actually read the headline... For me, its because I can't afford it. I am squishy, and being a hacker is a very vulnerable profession, so I stick to cheaper fits as I am naturally going to die quite a bit. Especially when my team really isn't doing anything. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

PLAYSTTION Corrosive Synergy Rise Of Legion. 901	Posted - 2015.03.27 01:08:00 - [63] - Quote I don't usually run Proto cause I can't make the isk back even though I can afford it. BPO and Advanced are enough for me. BPO shotgun scout also reduces the price a lot for scouting. With BPO and advanced I can make 10-20mil isk a week.

Vulpes Dolosus molon labe. General Tso's Alliance 3242	Posted - 2015.03.27 15:42:00 - [65] - Quote I literally do not do better using higher tier gear. Also I hate going negative. Ironically, I only fly Proto dropships. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~
DDx77 The Exemplars 176	Posted - 2015.03.27 16:12:00 - [66] - Quote I usually only use full proto when I play PC Occasionally I'll fit a proto weapon to an adv suit I feel that in pubs based on my style of play using proto is not going to give me that much more of an advantage And if I have a bad match losing proto in that match will only drive me more crazy May the Dark shine your way
Genral69 death Random Gunz Rise Of Legion. 132	Posted - 2015.03.27 16:20:00 - [67] - Quote DRT 99 wrote: Ok so, those of you who are skilled into proto but dont use it - why dont you? Interested in everyone's reasons. For me, its partly because i do well enough in advanced, but mostly because i know when i use proto im going to die to some bullshit like REs or HMG and get frustrated. So i stress less and have more fun in basic. I run proto alot but when I'm not. I'm trying strange fits on advanced suits and testing them out (this is how I got my favorite suit) Depending on the match o will go proto. In cases where I'm being ambushed by several proto's assault or scout I will either go go proto heavy with burst hmg or sniper from VERY far away. But recently I've been ambushed by several ion cannon and I can find a counter I tryed Av but that's doesn't work.

Booby Tuesdays Ahrendee Inc. Negative-Feedback 1449	Posted - 2015.03.27 17:14:00 - [68] - Quote Proto in Pubs is for tossers and sheep shaggers. Proto is for FW and PC, imho. IF YOU CAN READ THIS YOU DON'T NEED GLASSES
Regis Blackbird DUST University Ivy League 679	Posted - 2015.03.27 18:20:00 - [69] - Quote I have skilled the following to Proto (Caldari): Scout Heavy Assault Logi Most of them I skilled primarily for the bonuses, but I run proto Logi on occasion. As IWS stated, the difference in TTK does not justify the cost (usually).
syzygiet 39	Posted - 2015.03.27 18:28:00 - [70] - Quote i have 40 million sp and proto only the min logi, and i run it only in pc for a grand total of 10 times ( i dont play pc much) I run advance weps and suits and proto reps, the only weapon i run proto consistently is the IAF on an advance heavy. the result is i have a good amount of isk, 400 mil after I spent 150 mil on a bpo code

Jonny D Buelle Mors Effera 716	Posted - 2015.03.27 18:41:00 - [71] - Quote I run basic for more of a challenge. I find your lack of heaviness... disturbing...

Dreis Shadowweaver Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 2384	Posted - 2015.03.28 03:18:00 - [73] - Quote I just went 40/3 in a Dom running an ADV Amarr Assault. I don't use Proto because I need it, but because I want to run it. Forgot to take a picture, but I could get people to verify this.

Denchlad 7 Negative-Feedback. 1844	Posted - 2015.03.28 03:27:00 - [74] - Quote Because its my first game of the day and I cba to waste a tiny amount on a full proto fit till im warmed up. "Dench stop hitting your head you Caldari pinball" - m621 zma Currently on Dust hiatus.
Sgt Kirk Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 10013	Posted - 2015.03.28 03:33:00 - [75] - Quote I use Proto because, Gallente. Wait? Wrong thread? *As long as 5/6 (83%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP*

I don't use Proto because I need it, but because I want to run it. Forgot to take a picture, but I could get people to verify this. I go double digits and no or little deaths whether I'm in Basic ADV or Proto. Blueberries will always be stupid and I'm just a good player as well. There is no bullshitting my way, sugar coating that or *** footing around with that. No matter what suit I use I still do good, but it's much easier for people to blame it on proto gear. You can give an idiot all the SP, ISK and proto in the world but that doesn't mean he's still not a player, just look at Contrabanjoe.

If my team is squishing the red team I suit on my std or ADV suits Redberrys destroying the place I put on my Proto If my team and redberrys are doing a war like battle I put on my Proto logi

Starlight Burner ROGUE RELICS 183	Posted - 2015.03.28 06:17:00 - [80] - Quote XEROO COOL wrote: Run Basic BPO suits... to give redberries a fighting chance. Thank god for CCP Rattati! Rogue Relics is my home away from home. Thank you CCP for getting DUST 514 back on track!

Lorhak Gannarsein Nos Nothi 4483	Posted - 2015.03.28 06:41:00 - [81] - Quote Either my suit is proto or my tank is proto (and if I'm in a tank I use a BPO suit; no reason to add to the restock bill when the suit doesn't even do anything). Guys, we need to stop calling MU a 'matchmaker' when it's actually a 'teambuilder'. And I want to play FE:A now. Damn.
jane stalin Ametat Security Amarr Empire 249	Posted - 2015.03.28 07:20:00 - [82] - Quote I have 130 million ISK so I could use proto weapons however I don't mind using standard weapons because it makes the game more interesting, Dreis Shadowweaver wrote: I'm saying that people who say that they need to limit themselves by running STD/MLT are deluding themselves, and are not as skilled as they say they are. I do what makes the game the most interesting, I have no delusion about being good I am actually bad and I know it. Who is saying they NEED to limit themselves to STD/MLT gear because they have delusions about being fantastic? Exactly How good are they claiming to be? Do understand that the reason most people use standard gear has nothing to do with deluding themselves about being good?
Vrain Matari Mikramurka Shock Troop Minmatar Republic 2592	Posted - 2015.03.28 12:35:00 - [83] - Quote Can't afford to run proto, it's a combination of not being good enough and trying to one-man-army every match. Also, ashamed to stomp noobs while wearing proto. The NPE is bad enough already without vets grinding noobs into paste. Do very occasionally allow myself to pull out proto if i know i'm going up against proto spamming players/squad. i need the training that the lower tiers gives a player - you have to play smarter/better if you still want to make an impact in lower tier gear. This past week i've been starting to think about moving down to standard/bpo for pubs but gotta skill up the Raven/Vaor bpos first. PSN: RationalSpark
Vyzion Eyri warravens 2688	Posted - 2015.03.28 12:48:00 - [84] - Quote All the profit I make in pub matches goes to my ISK reserves for having fun with dropships, and stocking up prototype suits for PC/FW. If I just went and used it willy nilly with my highly aggressive, careless play style, it's just a waste of ISK that I could be using for hundreds of more fun suits, and of course more dropships. > Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Tesfa Alem Death by Disassociation 987	Posted - 2015.03.28 13:12:00 - [85] - Quote On the ground, the most fun and profit to be had is running free suits. Untill I meet a wall of proto, then the fun evaporates. Even so in try-hard mode i run my ADV Min Assault, the only things proto on it is the core locus 'nades and the core flaylock. But since my only proto suit is the min logi, its pretty hard to become a one man slayer of red berries with a rep tool. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me.
