AUR gear and equipment holds no advantage. At most it is a vanity item, or may allow a user to have access to tech they are unable to use, but at the cost of real legal tender. Which holds no advantage in my opinion. I've been using the same militia, and standard tech level gear and equipment since day one, and have never had a problem with AUR users.
I'll admit though that the only time I even dared to think of purchasing using AUR was with the MAG dropsuits which were standard tech level dropsuits, but as BPO's (Blueprint Originals). Again a vanity item at best though. |

Why are people even complaining about AUR items though? Especially at the moment where they are nothing, but balanced. Granted the AUR market weapons have lower CPU (Central Processing Unit) and PG (Power Grid) consumption, but at the same time you have skills that will "naturally" decrease those factors anyway, and also increase the dropsuits own CPU and PG output as well. So again really what advantage are we talking about? Shaving off time needed to achieve the proper skill? Oh wow! No, not really that was sarcasm folks. Seriously paying legal recognized tender is up to you, but you have to realize that you really are not holding an advantage. Especially at the cost of legal tender. Also on the notes of CPU and PG consumption the passive stats that would lower the CPU and PG in question will decrease the AUR items in question less the standard ISK purchasable and depletable items simply because, they have less to shave off. The lower the base the less to shave off. So essentially with passive skilling they balance out anyway. Making the whole CPU and PG argument completly and utter moot.
Beyond the three MAG dropsuits which happened to be BPO (Blueprint Originals) the AUR items offer no advantage, and even then the standard tech levels, and militia levels are not too far apart to make complaints even viable. In the end as I have said AUR items are nothing short of vanity items. So long as CCP continues to hold, and regulate the AUR items and balance them, and BPO's to a bare minimum as I have stated a dozen times and explained thoroughly on why that is essential to Dust514's survival and stability; the items in question are balanced.
If you find yourself complaining about them at the moment.. Well it sounds like a "you" problem. Maybe your name is, Yamcha or even, Raditz. In which case. You have larger problems. 
No, but seriously at the moment CCP has done a good job on the AUR items... Well the only AUR purchasable in question is the UVT (Universal Transmitter) which needs to be a looked at in terms of how it should be taken. I suggested my thoughts, and concerns though. Anyway if you are willing to spend legal tender on AUR and AUR items -- be my guest. Personally the only items notable of worthy purchase are the MAG dropsuits and they like our rewards are MIA (Missing in Action).
