First as you said the playerbase is too small anyway.
Then I'm against that, what made some people stay is the progression. Why upgrading your stuff if you can't use it? Then most FPS put any players against each other no matter what the level difference is. This is a MMO/FPS, progression is a part, actually the most important one of this game. What you propose would remove the progression feeling.
And finally, if they implement what you propose, you're gonna have veterans jumping into STD gear games to fight noobs and the difference of skill will allow them to get the most insane average KD you've ever seen.

You can still use proto gear in the high meta tier, hell you can jump in to the high tier in standard gear if you like.

The points isn't to stop noobs fighting vets, it's to allow players the opportunity to fight against players with similar level gear. Also remember the payouts in the low tier will be low. There will be higher payouts in the higher tiers.

Yes but what I mean with the progression is that the cool thing upgrading your gear is to feel it's better than your opponent's. If you're fighting people with the same tier equipment you lose that feeling.
And I like changing myequipment tier level during the same game to adapt to the situation.

Also they would need to change the way meta level is calculated, right now a PRO commando has a meta level around 50 whereas an ADV logi is easily above that.

When there is light, shadow's lurk and fear reign's... Yet by the blade of knight's, mankind, was given hope.

The skills themselves provide bonus' weapon's are extensions, yes important, but not where the feeling of upgrading accomplishments come from, and fighting people of the same tier isn't at all bad, especially for the rooks, changing/altering fit's mid game is tiresome and can essentially be pointless to do since you'd just change it all back anyhow, that's what having multiple fits are for. Decreasing meta level significantly on adv and basic gear should do the trick, simplistic, no? I feel this thread was based around to aid NPE but it seem's everyone is against helping/allowing rook's to fight other rook's. Am I wrong? Even with tiercide Rat's never said it would either help or break NPE. MM? Don't know what MM is, like the anime, though I never finished it. When there is light, shadow's lurk and fear reign's...
