The worst part is that the people who run proto suits and then act like it DOESNT give them an advantage.

I can hit certain assault builds with multiple locus nades and unload an entire SMG in their back and they dont die. If they have ANY skill at all, they will destroy me 1 on1. Are they immortal gods? No. If I beat one 1v1 with militia/standard gear, should they feel bad? Yes.

I usually avoid picking 1on1 fights with people I know are running some higher fits with higher skills (stats, not player skill) so its not usually an issue of "oh man the only reason he beat me was cause of his gear!" But it is 'LOL how did he lose? I had to empty two clips into him and he couldnt hit me!"

Then there are guys who have player skill and gear/skills, and those guys I just have to avoid until I get similar stuff. But the gear/skills in this game do make a difference, especially in smaller 1on1 2on2 type fights. Is it broken? No, its a fun mechanic. Sometimes it feels like 'boss fights.'

But to act like your gear and skills ARENT helping you win/get good stats is just silly.

Do you really think that your efffort makes us sad in any way? Know this: Many, myself included, have hundreds of fittings in stock or 100+ M isk, or both. Many of us go game after game without losing a single suit and the ISK just keeps piling up. Pubstomping has come to a point now where I don't even bother to rack up as many kills as possible, these days its more fun to pick people up, shield them with your body and see the poor bluedots scramble back into the fight. I don't have a single fitting that cost under 200K isk and I'll gladly get drunk and waste 50 of them like I did last weekend, my KDR went 0.09 in just a couple of hours but I did have lots of fun! My point: Stop sending me messages like: "I killed you twice, you lost money you scrub", or not least: "If I had a protosuit I would have destroyed you", like the extra shield regen and extra equipment slot for a medkit makes me a God. So chill....

I'm not saying it doesn't affect my gameplay, I'm merely stating that the difference for me between a 100K B-series fit and a 200K+ protofit is slightly faster shields and a medkit. These "bonuses" over a B-series suit hardly help 1 vs 1 no? (If it drags on the faster shield will help me if we go in and out of cover at some distance, though I'd mostly blame the other dude for going out of cover too soon.) The step from advanced to Proto is not big enough to qualify for "you had the black suit, you should win every single encounter against anyone without a black suit". Many acts as though running in protogear is the only thing you need to succeed in this game... The main reason for me using a protosuit is the medkit, if the B-series had 2 equipment slots I wouldn't bother to spec into the protosuit for quite some time...

If people are so good that they don't need the protosuit why don't they just run militia gear? IT's like saying the difference between a lamborgini and a mustang are not the big a difference . the reason I won the race was my driving skills. No you have slightly better gear too. I have a feeling in about 32 days there are going to be all black suits. I run for the slight advantage, my performance with a B-series suit is almost identical. The most important part is the extra equipment slot, which makes me able to restock ammo and use a medkit. - I don't have any tourney money to run on. - Most days I make a profit regardless. - Get your friends to equip a medkit and you only lose about half the suits you die in.
