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.

Because the game is closing and you literally have no excuse, other than you don't have a proto suit, or you can't afford it.
Not to run it and have crazy battles.

Stop being a ***** and fight till there is nothing left.

Nothing we own will be transferred over.

I try to us apex when I can, not to save money mind you, but to test my own skills, but some matches are so bad any more, I don't mind stomping the the stompers and showing them how little skill they really have

stupidity is a pet peeve of mind. I can dust it off but not all of the time. And using anything under proto because you want to save ISK at this point, is pretty stupid.

or any suit that's not at least proto at this time are just tools.

78M is more than enough to proto stomp.

or any suit that's not at least proto at this time are just tools. There is no reason to stack or save ISK. There is no reason to only use proto or officer in pc matches. Burn them all in pubs, get 1.5M ISK payouts until you run out and then quit the game.

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.

Those still playing DUST at all are the real tools here.

I see your point and I agree that burning all proto/officer gear is a great idea, but I guess I don't understand why you care about what other people choose to do.

You could just play how you want to and not worry about what other people are doing.

How incredibly narrow your thinking is! How do you know everyone even has proto suits? I don't! I don't have the skills for them although I'm working really hard to get into them by the end. Now that I've discovered logis, I'm making lots of SP and ISK, so I should be in proto suits pretty soon, but right now, it's just not possible.

I do have access to State LP proto suits, but I can't get into any CFW matches to get them, and all the AUR suits are just that, I can't buy them for ISK although I have plenty of ISK due to my running BPOs all the time.

Don't rail against people who don't run proto just because you do. What makes you think you can tell people what they should run, anyway?

Honestly, I've thought about blowing my savings (as minimal as that is) on dropships. I've only ever toyed with them and can't fly to save my life, but saving my life at this point is a silly goal. Maybe I'll just buzz around crashing into random things, or ejecting over randoms to see what I can stir up.
