Problem i have is that the game has now swung more in favor of a 'pay to win' system. The only place now to get a high chance of getting officer gear in by opening 10 boxes at once, sure you can get a key per day for free but someone who has an extra $50 a week/month will have access to more officer gear than those who just play for free.
I think they should have just changed the drop rate of officer gear from the exp lab instead of removing officer altogether. if you have 2 items a day thats 14 items a week, if only 2-4 of those were officer it would greatly reduce the amount we see in game.
It was a bit ridiculous before, i redeemed 4 items and all 4 were rattatis Gk.0's so it did need streamlining, just not completely removing
But given there's player trading you could play more, earn isk and buy officer gear from another player
Therefore not pay to win

Yes it's still available to others that don't have the money to spend, but the big spender would have the advantage that it is easier for them to obtain.
Exactly, it's easier for them to obtain, that's why they are paying real money. It is not pay to win though as that advantage can be negated by playing the game more
FTP works on the basis you are either time poor and therefore pay to skip the grind or cash poor and have to put the time in to grind
Also FTP is a business model to pay for the game, you're not 'beating the system' by not paying, you're free-riding, which isn't an issue if there people who are and it's not P2W (Like Dust)

Short of salvage actually giving something other than useless garbage and std-adv gear. I can't even remember a battle in recent months that wasn't a PC where I got officer gear.
Not keys, officer gear
