The way things were before made sense in terms of gear vs gear which is balanced.

Militia scrubs complaining about getting gunned down across the map, because they either cant properly spec a character, or run militia gear by choice most certainly deserve to get smashed for their refusal to use their best.

So then you don't want a game based on skill you want a game based on skills? I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of oh he's better geared then me I should tuck my tail and run.

I thought it over some - and I find myself leaning away from my earlier argument and accepting yours. But the fact is CCP really doesn't reach out to any of us. Only those of us willing to speak out loud will get heard - even if just by glance and it's a shame the people who may have a proper opinion get shut out and aren't willing to speak because of trolls.

And yet again - the ones who do speak with good opinions are either abrasive - absurd - or just down right awful at being anything other then a troll. Your own corp is a perfect example of this - your members bring up points but can't seem to stay away from "Your bad get good." which rubs people the wrong way and turns a lot of your discussion into ego strokin'. CCP may look at those threads - but they won't take anything seriously if the OP devolves into trolling. Another thread on the same subject is almost always made as a result. This really shows CCP how unstable as a community we are - makes it hard to take us seriously.

But this is just my opinion.

There is one main reason why all weapons seemed overpowered, people keep using militia gear expecting to beat better gear. Solutions number one spend your skill points! Why was my TAR and other ARs considered op? Modded controllers -.- what a cop out, more sp another cop out, I know something you don't? Maybe it's called spend your skill points and specialize. But now since everything is flatten and takes little skill now your militia gear is basically the same as my proto gear. The only things worth speccing into are lasers(which are truly overpower by the damage they can put out compared to other weapons), grenades, heavies or vehicles(which I consider childish/ easy). So here is your first lesson! Now get out of your cheap militia gear and spend your skill points and isk there is not point in stockpiling

Again, summary of these "lessons"- http://youtu.be/IR4s4QswGS4?t=1m26s

Second time's not as funny as the first

Ooo tell me more! Will I finally be able to go positive in a game? Can I really be on the top of the score board at the end of a match? Oh these dreams I have had, can you make them come true?

First spend your skill points and get very good with militia gear, then spend some isk and use better equipment, that way you won't die as much. A Militia AR can easily dominate a Duvolle if the Militia AR user has his/her skills up and is accurate.

A good game in your opinion is that a n00b shouldnt be allowed to have the slightest chance. I saw your "corp demands" like removing starter fit LAV's, that proto suits should stand their ground when getting hit by a full speed LAV and other stupid requests. And to be honest ive never saw a post that is constructive from your side. Allways in the favour of the better players. You guys think much more about pup stomping then anything else. And when one of the Zitros gets stomped on they send hatemails out on the guy who obviously outplayed them. Prime example now is the laser rifle. You are upset that a weapon that wasnt on your mind can be that good. So you demand to nerf it. And there is need to progress. Weapons still have a damage gap and obviously they still perfform quite good. What you experience now is called variety on the battlefield. You see all kind of weapons now before it was 99% AR which is boring as hell. The main reason why i think the laser rifle is balanced is cause this "OMG ITS OVERPOWRED" thing came only up when AR's has beeing balanced to that what they are. Short-Medium range weapons. Some moron from your corp claimed they are overpowered and the fools hop on the bandwaggon. And when they nerf lasers then i demand that every sniper rifle in the game gets a 50% damage cut cause you can do over 400HP damage per shot with them.

So then you don't want a game based on skill you want a game based on skills? I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of oh he's better geared then me I should tuck my tail and run.

Just a random comment on the "Make the cap equal to the total possible that would exist for a player who started at the beginning."

I like this idea, but can see where CCP might not. So, how about a compromise? Add an implant similar to the +SP gain one that unlocks this cap. Make it an AURUM item. You can do the usual weekly cap, then buy one of the 1/3/5 day versions of this and grind away to catch up. It gives people the option and makes CCP some money at the same time.

I'm sure people will gripe at this, but think about it. "Just" raising the cap to be the same for everyone will no doubt please many while aggravating many others, and on the whole CCP would have little incentive to do it. Go with this approach and they would make money off of it as well. Plus, it'd be fitting in with more 'pay for bonuses' style of MMO's. Sure, you can be on the 'free trial' version, but you have a hard cap. Start giving them a little cash and dedicating time into it? You can catch up. And everyone is happy, except perhaps the hard-core grognards who want others to have to invest as much time as they did.

This, of course, would be taking a break from the way EVE works despite them following a similar theme, but I think that's been done already by allowing us to 'earn' SP anyway.

Then find other people and attack in a group its simple groups survive against most any tier and player i dont want a flat lone wolf fps again if i wanted that id go back to call of duty and start pulling 30 and 3 again it got old
