I'm fine with getting a head start with stuff but getting a prototype weapon you can use at advanced level And if you have you can use forever if you have the money is not very good for people who want to play the game the normal way. That and its a prototype weapon that you can use in all of your fittings and you don't have to worry about losing isk. I can't find a match that dose't have the whole enemy team stock full of the AUR prototype weapons. This is a great game and all but it kinda ruins the fun when you cant cap an objective or get a kill because everyone is running around with proto gear. I like the whole free to play idea because its an mmo but you cant make a free to play game without making it somewhat pay to win, and pay to win *no matter how small* is never fun for people that cant spend a bunch of money on a game. And on a side note why did they get rid of the sp gain from repair guns. now i make more points from my assault then my logi. I love this game but i don't like the direction it is going.

game releases bet you won't see very many aur weapons. People are just using them to test and using them knowing they are getting their money back.

all they did last build was let people who work all week use comparable weapons to the people that could play a lot, i.e needed less skills to use exactly the same weapon, or near enough some had slight bonuses to aiming to compensate for these players not practicing at the game so much. they obviously thought that was a bad idea so they listened to all the people in IRC and hotfixed something that didnt need hotfixing. isk gains. that gave people who play a lot a big big advantage.
