I'm willing to concede I'm completely missing something here, but: Nearly every other fps has a 'squad' mechanic, yet very few of them suffer the frequency of pubstomping that Dust does. Other than the gear that squadded up mercs run, what makes squads in Dust so much more powerful? Communication and familiarity
Hmmm good point if I've interpreted correctly. Other FPS squads are random in nature (right?), here when we talk about stomping, the stompers know each other, and may well be PC vets employing highly organised strategy on autopilot.

Isn't grinding to get a better gear and compete with other players the whole goal in DUST ?????
Isn't ISK supposed to be part of the balance when it comes to competing?

Isn't ISK supposed to be part of the balance when it comes to competing? And it is. Some players are just crazily rich because of previous broken PC mechanics. But a majority of the playerbase can't afford proto or officer gear. And I don't see where it changes the fact that grinding SP is the main goal in Dust. You can quote 1/5 of my post if you want, it won't change this. Proto gear is nothing compared to teamplay and personnal skills. PC is the best proof. So many times we destroyed teams playing full proto because we were better coordinated and better players (in Apex or STD suits). Saying proto gear is killing the game is stupid.
I only quoted the part of your post that I was addressing. My point is that ISK is way too prevalent, and you usually see those who run proto saying they run proto coz why not? That statement there shows something is broken.
The other points you make I agree with but that doesn't mean stuff ain't broke - ISK is not a balancing factor that it should be because of exploits, that BTW still continue today. It's broke.

That's what they do in elder scrolls online.. it doesn't hurt anyone. The isk is the biggest problem. I'd personally rather just give them a set of base skills, unallocated SP, and remove Militia from the game. Extra HP and damage "Just because" isn't very EVE like. Work with the system, rather than just slapping on bonuses.
I think this would be a better approach too instead of some temporary bonus that will likely confuse things when it gets removed (and when exactly would that be?). Better to not invest time in figuring that out and just narrow the gap at the baseline instead.
