Higher tier gear is more fun. Remove the lower trash, and make prototype the new basic; advanced the new militia, and Officer the new prototype.
Remember Chromosome, where proto gear was quite rare, and the most players used some combo of basic and advanced gear? I recall Chromosome, despite all its balance faults, to have the best, most enjoyable tier interplay. I'd like that to be recaptured, myself.
But to each their own. Relegating every pub-dweller to the least fun gear in the game is a sure-fire way to make DUST more fun...
Sorry, but this makes no sense... Proto is fun, because it melts militia. If you remove militia, most of the fun of proto is removed aswell!
I agree with D1ck, (mostly I don't) but in this case he's right.
I proposed it in the past, I'd limit pubs to all gear that needs LV4 to be unlocked. This would put proto and officer out of pubs, but would still allow to use special weapon variants, that get unlocked at LV4.
Suits would be less tanky, since only advanced modules would be used. And proto equipment is not needed in pubs, that may suck for logis who don't want to loose their dual repper for those sweet wp, but there could be easyly a LV4 dual repper with lower reps per second made...
I have several very low SP alts, and I can tell you they are absolutely no fun to play. Fun starts at roughly 10mil SP, and only if you spend your skillpoints wisely (start with precision enhencement, range amp, and dampening...)
The NPE is killing fun for noobs, and that's the most important thing, that has to change in Dust!

In my opinion, the gear is just one point.
What really frustrates as a new player, ist the fact, that U usually get shot before you see the enemy (no active scans in your team). Most vets have E-War skills maxed, and see you through walls or even when you're behind them.
So if you see somebody as a noob, he's probably just waiting to wreck you...
Newbs need to be told to skill into E-war very early in the game, since it's essential, to use this build in wallhack.
Even an proto weapon, won't help you if you don't have the battlefield awareness that precision enhencement gives you.
