I have to agree with what the OP wrote! I don't blame you one bit!
This "get gud" "HTFU" mentality IS BS! It leads to players being willing to cheat to win just to "get gud".
What I will say however, is that proto isn't the issue. Proto suits die just as fast at times as basic or advanced. I myself usually fight in CQC in advanced gear, and only use proto for critical roles where the difference really matters.
For instance, I run pro scout because every second counts! The mods and fitting makes a huge difference in survival. It's the opposite with the mandos, sentinels, and assaults. Because you're in the thick of things regularly, economically it's financial suicide to run full pro. This is where fittings being maxed comes in big! Advanced fits can, in some cases, fit better complex gear on them. Not all, but the critical ones! Like fitting a proto hmg on an advanced setup, but at the cost of ehp. The same goes for complex mods on advanced suits at the cost of weapon level.
What I also would advocate is some serious teamwork! I feel you new bros, but while most will say "I went through it so it's your turn", and in some cases I agree, I will also tell you that the game was simply different then as well. While the Eve environment is ruthless, it shouldn't be unplayable?!
I have many post here advocating to help new bros out without meta locks, and gear restrictions. The gear isn't as much of an advantage as you guys think. I've also been in game in my chat "Fighthouse" helping new bros understand economy, tactics, and teamwork through skilling into your skill tree correctly! These things make a huge difference in gameplay! Just because you lost the battle doesn't mean you lost the war!
What this means is use your heads! Team up! Attack together! Defend together! Build fits, not for your own personal survival, but the best fit to compliment your buddy! Get on comms and have conversations about tactics and fitting. Don't bash each other's ideas?! I see that alot, and it only leads to players not working together at all. Use your bonuses to help your buddies, and not just yourself! If you read the suit bonuses it will show you how they're built to help each other! Most of you just pick fits like the min assault to help yourselves?! Fotm has led to less squading and teamwork because no one runs team support fits. You guys all just run the latest kd padding fit?!
I only run officer in PC, proto in factional, and when I play pubs it's advanced or less, but my reasons are different from you guys! It's economically sound as well! I can afford proto in FW because I don't run pro in pubs, and I squad with at least 6-8 always! Less blues means more help to keep me alive! In the pubs we only got 4 so the gear goes down a notch to keep matches affordable. I am willing to risk officer in PC because all 16 are on comms helping me win!
Also, to new bros I know you hear us say finish your upgrades!!! Especially your fitting upgrades!!! You look at the SP cost and don't want to save up to finish. You buy another unfinished rifle?! Fitting makes my basic and advanced fits that much better to where I could run really beast advanced fits that can kill your half *ssed proto fits?! The same goes for vehicles! I have my vehicle skills maxed in what I use, but never run proto madruger or marduk. How you ask? Because I can fit the advanced and basic really well! The proto cost is impractical to "my" economy, and not what everyone else says you should be running?!
My advice to a new bro...
1. GET IN SQUAD, AND CORP! You have help, use it! I will never understand this solo bs?! Even when I played battlefield and other shooters I wanted teammates!
2.Understand that dust514 isn't a sprint, it's a marathon! No vet you see now has played all this time without heartache and struggle!
3. Spend time playing the other 80% of the game... ECONOMY! We now have a trade system, NPC market, and many other options to make isk besides battle! Spend some time learning where you can save on fits, and develop some good relationships for trade. I honestly sell more gear than I buy, and trade 1 for 1 often with trusted friends. You guys get scammed by the same 15 guys REPEATEDLY! Managing your personal economy is part of gameplay as well.
4. SPECIALIZE! SPECIALIZE! SPECIALIZE! If everyone wants to be a slayer, how do you stand out? Fotm raises kd, but empties wallets lol! The roles in the the Eve universe are vast! Find your niche, not everyone elses?! I am no slayer, but my tactics are raw enough for CEO's to offer isk for my services! My specialties on the field are needed as I am willing to forget about kd to get the job done that no one else wants to do. How many corps have you been in where the large majority of players all run min assault? Find the roles that no one runs, and make it viable! This will make you useful to the team, and will get you in squad and on PC rosters alot faster than you will even be ready for lol! When they say "bruh your kd low". I say "muthafucka I'm rich!" LOL!
5. Be willing to learn from knowledgeable vets! Too many of you are frankly douchebags?! No one want's to help a COD slayer wannabe that thinks he knows it all?! They continue to let you die until you figure it out, trust me. Take some constructive criticism, stop worrying about that useless number called kd, and stop staring at the leader board and end of match report letting them lead your gameplay. Kd doesn't make money. You make more money as a squad helping one another!
6. SQUAD! SQUAD! SQUAD! Get in a squad and play skirmish! Dom burns brain cells, and destroys any creativity. You don't have to work together that much in dom, and that leads to less squading.
"Fighthouse" is the chat, and there are others just like it where humble vets love to teach. Stop creating corps of new bros, and join corps willing to grow with you. This game has thousands of corps, but 20 in PC?!

Also, new bros..... YOU AREN'T RAMBRO LOL!
Get in squad, hold a point, and bring what the 4 of you need to do so. If all of you did that there would be no such thing as a "blueberry". You 4 would be holding home, 4 more would be attacking their home, 4 more would be in vehicles, 4 more would be scouting.
If you got 5 million SP why are you attacking anything? You will make average 200k just holding home, dropping links, and killing 4 guys. You guys are attacking in the middle of no where, losing 16 half *ss adv suits, and losing money overall because you trying to get that dumb*ss number up called kd smh?!
