Them thinking they cost you a fortune in suits is the only way they can justify their loss against you. Its the only way they can feel good about them selves.

This read like a rage fulled QQ post

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.

I personally enjoyed the part where no one cared.

(Although I can imagine some players frustration, went into a match with a Thale set up, and got 30 enemy kills by the time they decided to waste an OB on poor little me :D I lol'd irl).

Do you really think that we care if we lose 5 suits in a game? 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....

as for running proto 24/7? i bet that will change once the market opens up, people who make the proto suits will need to charge a premium and up the price. Course, we might also see advance stuff really jump up in price as it is close to as good as proto, but easier to skill into

Yea, but that's sniping; no one likes snipers. Especially not since lately, you can't kill snipers who are perched up too high, because they become impervious to counter sniping (aka, you shoot them in the head, their shields flare up, and no damage is done)

9/10 times snipers are useless for anything other than stroking their own KD/R

Too many snipers...that is when it is a problem, you only really need one good sniper per team.

anyone in EVE PVP who has been doing it for a while, will generally feel the same way as most dust players feel about proto suits. it only gets painful when running faction gear or the really big ships. losing a 150m-200m battleship is unfortunate, but by no means painful to the veteran EVE combat pilot. the loss rate between Dust and EVE is a large gap as well. I have lost 750m isk in 20 hours of EVE. it really isnt possible to do that in Dust.

Not necessarily, to many bad snipers is definately a problem. I've seen full sniper teams do really well, where most the team played sniper with a couple really good base runners, mostly in tanks.

That is one thing I love about Dust, its the coordination over everything else.

And I've lost Tengus to gate camps. 700m isk lost in twenty minutes because I couldn't be arsed to get someone to scout for me.Sure, losing a ship doesn't get me quite as excited as it did back when I thought a T1 fit Vexor was expensive, but it's always more exciting than in DUST, where PvP allows you to literally print money. PvP should be an isk sink, not an isk source.
