Preach it Bro!
currently militia gear is the most efficient way to get war points. Why skill into high level Logi tools (other than being a team player)?
We do need to remember that we are only talking about pub matches, If your corp lets you get away with using militia gear in planetary your corp is not going to be valuable to eve-side in the long run.
I disagree completely with what you say as you can actually make more war-points utilizing higher level equipment. Let's take the proto nanohives for example, utilizing the Ishukone gauged nanohives you can place down 3 active hives, which mean you now have three potential WP hot-spots (in fact, after placing them strategically I constantly see 10wp pop up the entire match. Yes it might seem like a small amount, however, if you account for the three active hives as well as the constant need for ammo, this can rack a large amount of WP. The same goes for the Wiyrkomi Triage Nanohive, which produce a tremendous amount of WP if used correctly. In fact, I revived 300+ WP from one heavy who was repairing himself in my proto nanohive).
Further, Logis have numerous different ways to obtain WP over their assault counterparts (not only can you kill as a logi, but you get triage points, guardian points, ammo resupply points, drop uplink points and rezing points, all of which can provide you with an exponentially larger amount of WP then everyone else).
Plus, if we take off the cap this will make the "dark/bad logi" problem even worse. It's already horrible now with, logi's reviving people numerous times in the middle of a gun fight just to farm WP. Think about what will happen when the cap is removed, all a logi will have to do is find a teammate who is willing to hurt themselves over and over again, and that logi can rep him (hell, you could do it with multiple people. Just get a group of 4 people, equip proto triage nanohives and K17/Ds and then proceed to have them continually harm themselves and the stand on the hives. You don't even have to be there, you can go off and make WP in other parts of the game).
Yes, as a logi I would love to be able to receive more WP, but I don't do it for the points, I'm a logi because I work hard to ensure my teammates survive and keep fighting. And while that happens I too fight back and kill.
So ya, that's my long winded speech.
TL;DR: Higher level equipment does allow you to make more WP and if you take the cap off you can exploit it to make a ton of WP through the use of teammates harming themselves and you can healing them through numerous triage hives.
