They already do...
They just make a newberry squad leader.
With metalocks at least they will not be sporting proto gear on the new guys. When I watch my friend's games over the last two weeks its a constant farm for guys going 30+kills from Third Rock, Iberica, Groupo, AE, and pretty much all the scrub corps. They are always in proto and always in groups of three plus a random. MK0, CK0, AK0 every game. Its sad. The meta locks would at least help some. The match making is not. |

They are always in proto and always in groups of three plus a random. MK0, CK0, AK0 every game. Its sad. The meta locks would at least help some. The match making is not. I've noticed a steep change in opposition difficulty when a member of my corp with a low SP count is squad leader vs a member that has 100 million + in SP.
That's because it only uses the squad leader's MU score to find matches. So be a THIRD ROCK or Latino scrub and go to squad finder and find a guy with a generic corp name and join him. Make him think you like him, hell send him a little ISK or gear and he will hook you up for days with padded K/D. Its good for about a week until the Tuesday reset then he is screwed by being moved into the higher MU bracket at 3 million SPs, but then the d bags move on to the next victim. I see it everyday not occasionally. I have been watching a friend's games over the last couple weeks and that's the way every game goes. Three guys killing 100 clones in AK0s and carthiums. Think I'll just start a thread with a list of the scrubs I see in there next week. Maybe some of the corp CEOs will grow some balls and get a handle on their members. The are not achieving thier required K/D actually fighting competition. Its killing the NPE to let this go on.
The funniest one is Cryptic Soldier from AE. Always loves the fact he can one hit starter fits with a Thales. Seen him try to snipe countless times so I just have my friend sniper him as soon as I see him on the other team list when the game starts and he loses a Thales so he rage quits before his clone bleeds out. Nothing like sending kids crying home. |

First, the Aurum items have a higher meta level than their equivalent ISK item. I don't know if many people spend money on them but the meta levels would have to all be changed or ccp will simply make less money since people would buy less of them. Or all the ones built up via salvage will simply not be used because it will hinder your ability to maximize your potential within the meta level allowance.
Also I think different meta levels would have to be set for each type of fit. Just from briefly looking at all the apex suits, the Logis and Assaults are all 15-20 meta level higher than the Commandos and Sentinels. Disagree, plus if they wish they can sell militia or Basic suits for low Aurum cost. Try again. Not to mention if more noobs stayed they would get to higher levels and buy high tier Aurum level suits. Okay fine, disagree. So that means as things currently are someone who wants to run Aurum items can only run basic gear while people using ISK items get to run advanced gear and they have equal meta level. Sure that makes perfect sense. Or, a Logi can only run basic gear and the Sentinels run advanced gear, with equal meta levels. As things are, both of those would happen or close to it if a meta level cap were implemented. I am not arguing against a meta level cap, I'm just saying it is a lot more involved to make it work than just picking an arbitrary number and leave everything else the way it is. Lol all they need to do is make a mode like ambush, Dom, or skirmish where any fitting is invalid if anything about it is higher than basic. I know I make it sound easy but conceptually it's that easy. Something like that would work, I was thinking more along the lines of picking a number, lets say 40, as the maximum meta level your suit can have with all items combined. I think that is what most people are talking about when it comes to meta cap too.
^^^^^^
That's how it is supposed to work. A combined number. You can have whatever you want as long as you come in under the number. That gives a lot of personal freedom for fits and limits stomping.
