More hatemails to the effect of "easy mode PC farmers, quit so we can enjoy the game"
And hurtful comments like "you should just quit, no one wants to play with you" 
*sigh* Kids can just be so mean 
The fact is, I am not going to readjust fittings each battle just to carebear for you, that was beaten out of me a long time ago.. on a good evening I barely play pubs and instead fight PC where I make use of Proto/Officer fittings.
So these are what I use, do you think it was any different for me, back when all I had was MLT fits, and squads of Imps, T-P, TRE, Vacuum, Academy Inferno, What the French, Mafia Clan etc, where in the same place, using proto fits in battles where above 50% did not even own any proto fits.. it sucks.. but that is the Dust that CCP have let settle
The difference between me and SouthSidePhx is, while I sent these guys hatemail  I stayed in battle 
If I had to die 10 times to get a kill on the likes of RegnYum, Dark Cloud, Babar, Ollsam.. It was a win in my book
SouthSide checks the team sheet, sends hatemail and goes off in search of a militia filled battle 
I fully agree being stomped is an absolute pain and ruins gameplay
But I have argued against it for 3 years, If CCP are not going to give a damn, why should I ??
Simple mechanic changes and limitations on gear in public battles is all that is needed.. but in the meantime..

Current?? It has been this way since the beginning
I see the age old myth that skill was a factor in the early days still exists 
The older top Corps clearly had no advantage from more SP, ISK and knowledge than other gamers
I have always hated that CCP allow it, but it is what we have.
For me I do not approve of stomps, when someone is boasting 40/50 kills the first thing I look at is their opponents.
- And we all know that up to 30 of them would have been easy kills V lower tier suits.
Some battles call for proto gear to support the team and really go for the win, most do not.
The simple fact is, if we have to deal with it, we will use it
As long as mercs can be killed by Mk.0/Gk.0 suits, they will use their own
And the player called out in this thread is not a noob, just one that feels he is entitled to only fight them
What solution is there?? Will the Russians quit stomping if I do? will the Asians or the Americans ??
No, they will not.. do not take this as justification for how I play, the point is my mentality does not vary much whether fighting lower/higher skilled players.. I have done the militia/BPO carebear attempt at improving battles....
Then you end on the receiving end of the stomps
Unlike most vets I will burn 10+ proto suits in a 8v15 to keep my team fighting, the tougher fights are what keep me interested, and I fought to take part in them, but more and more it seems Dust is going the way of handing it out for free
Because they is no incentive to fight back, CCP have buffed Risk aversion for way too long now. |

No. BS to that. Having the joy sucked out of a game because you want to get to your kicks in to the playerbase now that you can is an utterly terrible justification. Enjoy the game how you want to, by all means, but don't try and play the "I'm all right, Jack" card and expect us on the receiving end to be all like "oh ok then, seems legit".
You know how crap this game can be when the stomp is real. Stop being a part of that problem and try and be a part of its solution.
For three years I have tried to help be part of the solution. The players don't care and will farm you for it.
How many supposed unlimited ISK veterans like myself actually post about changing that advantage ??
And acting like I am enjoying my reign lol, the game was much better when I had opponents to fight
Now, the vets ragequit at the first sign of defeat, and the noobs are left blindly pushing into a slaughter...
No-one wants this changed more than me, but it is naive to expect it to be a community change in how they play, seeing as for starters the majority of that community are out of the loop with forum communication...
And many more would just seize the opportunity to have easy battles
I'll stick to the point I was trying to make..
If CCP do not care about the dreadful balance of battles for the last 3 years, why should anyone else ??
Believe me, if there was a button I could press to turn off scrub mode, I'd have pressed it a long time ago
