I don't necessarily disagree with you, but we're talking about DUST here. If you can't level up your gun because it's unfair, then you shouldn't be able to level up armor upgrades and shields either. And if you think having an equipment advantage because you've played longer is unfair, then you should go play CS.
Ultimately, your proposal would unravel the whole progression system of DUST which imo is neither a feasible nor advisable choice. One of the issue for new players in the beta is that there isn't a large enough player pool. There will be matchmaking at launch for pub matches. Right now there aren't enough players to effectively match players.
Patience young one, and calm your knocking knees. The AR menace won't be a menace for long. |

But adding an accuracy buff is nearly the same as adding a damage buff.
An accuracy buff makes you more deadly because more of your bullets are hitting the target before. Same with a range buff. A player with 50 more shield has a huge advantage for a new player. How is that any different?
You do bring up an interesting point though. Even in a corp battle setting newer players will be at a significant disadvantage regardless of teamwork. However I think that is just the dynamic of CCP games. The same is true in EVE where a newer player will not nearly be as useful to a corp as a veteran.
I see it more as a fact of life as opposed to a balance or gameplay issue. Ultimately, if that bothers players they won't stay. It will be interesting to see how the console market reacts to this system. |

Well logically, it makes no sense whatsoever. But video games have never been based in logic have they. |
