That's nice, but noobs don't have the option to adapt, because like you said, they lack the SP. Newberries are the only people who have a problem facing tanks, I don't have a problem with tanks, but I would like an IO mode. Whats the problem?

It doesn't take much to invest into some AV fittings.

I got to Forge Gunning Lvl 2, got an Assault Forge Gun, threw on a Complex Damage Modifier and picked some AV grenades.

That fitting only costs 29k ISK, compared to the 1mil a well fit tank might cost.

I can still take out a tank, I have done so, took out one today without it even seeing me.

This arguement is aimed at those Assault players who skill into nothing but ARs and Assault dropsuits then complain when a tank rolls over them and they cant fight back.

What do you expect?

ADAPT OR DIE

Invest the tiny amount of sp it requires with the starting sp and boom, you can kill tanks. I use swarm launchers with only 2 levels into it

Then why would we need to separate by weapons?

Because why not? Split the player base? Skirmish and the eventual PVE will already do that.

You're that guy telling Naughty Dog to cut multiplier from Uncharted because all you ever do is play story mode.

Why?

Tanks are fun to go up against, there is nothing as fun in this game as wasting an expensive tank.

That doesn't split the player base, it gives people more options without limiting what they use to play

Fun for you, what do you have against CCP catering to other people sense of fun?

What? No, don't add Indian food to the menu, I wont eat it anyway.

Tanks are a problem when playing against a decent tank driver, especially when you are running in a squad that isn't great at taking out vehicles. If you only have one good AV player, there is practically no chance that they will destroy a well fit tank.

It would be nice to have a mode where we don't have to worry about getting stomped by a tank. That said, in no way should this mode even touch planetary conquest or corp battles.

Adding a new mode i can't use specific weapons on is still a way of splitting the player base, are you that thick you can't recognize this?

You mean what do I have against CCP catering to new players?

Its because they could be focusing on more important problems than this.

In fact its not even a problem.

Um. Are you suggesting every video game should cater to a crown of people who choose to completely ignore every mechanic and aspect of that game?

Oh no! The average World of Warcraft player is too stupid to figure out how to "not stand in the fire". We'd better remove fire from the game. Also from now on all PVE encounters are click-to-kill. There, now they don't have to learn anything and every new player can have so much FUN when they first join =D

Even 1 good AV player can be enough to restrict a tanks movements and make it difficult to dominate your team

You can say that because you have experience with dust, newberries see the skill sheet and don't know wtf to do. It's those same newberries that go up against 5 tanks and never switch to AV.
