Spam prototype gear? If I remember correctly,there was a time when all you ever saw was adv at most,and proto was like experemental gear pre lab Nerf(no more officer gear in lab),it was there but wasn't really worth using. And officer was like the rareest crap ever.
Maybe it was the officer event? Now there's so much proto and all the high tier crap in pubs.
Ha!You can't kill me! I'm already dead!

I'd throw some Aurum at the game to buy some keys to get the Pirate SKINs and BPOs, whatever I didn't use (being as it was Aurum anyway) I'd sell. Because of that I'd put in $20/week or so into the game and run Proto indefinitely, still coming out with ISK profit from matches as the sales of the aurum gear would cover my losses.
Which, honestly, is why I'm against the Salvage Boxes + Keys bundle in the market. At least with Keys only purchases you still have to play the game to get the boxes. With the boxes as part of the bundle it's too easy to go ISK stable without even having to play the game.
And another thing I'm kind of against is the fact that Salvage Boxes give Aurum gear. IMO, should be ISK gear. Aurum gear is nice when you don't have the skills for it but I don't think many new players are putting much faith on/getting much use out of the random aurum stuff they get out of the boxes with their daily keys... Aurum gear is notoriously difficult to fit without constantly funding RL money in the game and to my knowledge those sales are so low that they might as well not exist.
Which, I wonder if there are any performance gains in simply nyxxing the aurum gear from the market entirely and relying on FW to cover the function of being able to use higher tiered stuff at lower skill levels...
That's one helluva way of being isk efficient. I just killed my way to the top 2 or three in the scoreboard in the cheapest gear possible when I was new to the game(have a exceptional reaction time from playing cod). I usually broke a nice enough profit. Then at some point I managed to set up a amarr scout fit that did almost everything I needed at the low price of around 15k and I was earning around 6 million every weekend that I was able to play(sometime in spring of this year when I hit 20 mill sp)

Believe me, there were games where I had 10+ deaths as a proto logi and still didn't put a dent in my ISK wallet.
Good thing I was a master of being isk efficient. I cut out a lot of costs for things. My AK.0 logi costed maybe 170k isk? I used dual milita sheild extender bpos,a krins mod,basic sidearm and adv armour plates to give me the HP tank while saving some pg and CPU to fit some complex reps,and my uplinks
