The only ones I can understand still bringing out adv gear or lower are those that for some reason can't afford to run proto all day. If you have 30M ISK or more, you should be running proto and officer gear. If you are low on ISK, I will send you some. I have billions of ISK to burn and I don't play enough to do so.
I see this is from the other thread. We'll continue here. :)
I'm gonna be completely honest, I don't have the ISK to run perma-proto in a losing match. While I'm around 78m ISK, there's still plenty of time before the servers close. Losing a 150-200k suit several times when I'm on the wrong side of an officer stomp will add up pretty fast. Not super stacked on officer either, so I only pull it out when it looks like I won't die to BS; or vice versa, when there's more competition than starter fits.
I run proto if it's an evenly matched battle or I'm being a logi for my corp bros (can't stand not having the best EQ). If the match is totally lopsided, I'm not gonna lose a million ISK for no reason. And if I'm on the stomping side, I'm not interested in making it worse by assisting in the prevention of the enemy leaving their redline. That simply isn't fun, and the purpose of a video game is diminished.
So sure. To support your ideals, I'd happily accept a donation. I totally agree with you, while my wallet does not.

A few factors that make my ISK loss much faster than expected:
-I'm not always in a squad of swaggin' warriors that watch my back.
-I don't follow the meta. So basically if I'm not a triple myo proto Assault on a roof, I'm gonna have a bad time.
-I'm not a risk averse player. I actually go for the point, which is where the enemies are and my allies are not. I'm a good player, but i can't do much against 3 guys at once.
-I don't use Core Locus Grenades, the easiest and most effective way to win a fight without fighting.
So it seems we have very different philosophies on how to play Dust, which is fine. My only request is that you refrain from attacking people's character over it. It's a very bad habit whether you're right or not.

All of my corp members left over a year ago. I usually run solo
I don't use jump mods unless I have no choice. I'd rather use a shield extender or damage mod.
I'm never hard to find...if a point is red, I'm usually there and hacking.
I've never learned how to throw grenades...which is why I usually carry flux nades.
And I've been using proto since the open beta. So, really there are no excuses.
"I do it, therefore you can." I'm pretty sure that's a logical fallacy, not to mention that you didn't reciprocate all of my points.
There are still some lurking variables. Such as the fact that you have limitless ISK, or you get better matches, or your gungame is better than mine. I'm a good player, but not a great one.
The point is, I'm aware of how my choice of suits affects my wallet, and I know for certain that I'd run out before the game closes. If you'd make better use of 78m ISK, good on you. We're not the same people though.
