Yesterday I killed someone in proto gear using an alt with NO weapon skills at all. He was packing an AR of some sort and belonged to some big badass corp and I was packing the militia SMG. It was just the two of us out in the open. We strafed each other till we both ran out of bullets and I had the mind to rush him and dance in circles. You can do alright with militia and no skills against even proto players.

but you would do alot better WITH a proto weapon

I absolutely would, but I'm cheap and don't want to be like those elite players who approach something that should be fun like it's a job. I like to run people over and suicide my free LAV into other vehicles. That kind of silliness will keep me in this game longer than any kind of proto gear.

and thats the gear your going to bring to PC battles in defence of your district???

of course it isnt, your going to go all out proto to give yourself every advantage possable because your district is on the line.

This is not actually the case for me. It's certainly the case for a lot of people, but I intend to run Standard gear for PC - a lot of which are the readily available BPO's purchased with AUR from the Mercenary Pack or gained from events. The rest will be purchased with ISK. Like I said, I'm cheap. The only way I'd go proto is if some EVE corp was paying for it. I will never turn this game into a job, because then I would have to abandon it.

This may not be the best example, but as a sniper guy using a militia rifle or laser guy using the basic isk gun, in your typical ambush match I can kill 8+ people. Double that in a skirmish. Essentially, I've done 10% of the killing. Some are newbies, and some are proto suits like the proto suit proto weapon sniper I killed twice yesterday by being a sneaky bastard. He got me eventually, but I lost nothing from it. Superior tactics, teamwork, and thinking will always overcome superior equipment alone.

Seriously, don't turn this game into a job, you'll regret it. Call in some free LAV's, run some mans over, have fun. That's worth more in the long run than any digital territory ever could be. I learnt that lesson the hard way from EVE.

Running people over is objectively more fun than making spreadsheets about the perfect fit. Objectively.
