I was answering on my topic not really concerning progression in the game, but i feel that my thoughts deserve a new topic.
It seems that we do not have a lot of choice to be competitive, some builds are a must and it's not very funny to be all in the same fit, there is always the concept of rock-paper-scissor in the game but the skills are forcing us in certain direction.
Same applies to tanks, shield tanks are all the same, so do armor tanks.
If the game walks towards this direction there will be no difference in playing another FPS, the only thing that would change are battlefield mechanics and the estetics.
Can you feel the progression? Can you feel the RPG side of the game, or this game is turning into another conventional FPS? |

EVE has never really been about getting from level 1 to 100 in under 60 seconds so you can farm instances or whatever. I think as far as "progression" goes, the typical definition doesn't really apply to EVE (or dust). I mean, if you know what you're doing, you can still take down protos with militia fits and you can hold objectives with thought and tactics instead of who has the brightest shade of purple pixels.
That said, you'll probably feel it more when the markets are linked. PC and FW will have more meaning (and you'll get more "progression" and RPG out of those). I feel like the base framework has been laid out and CCP will introduce more depth as time goes on. |

"Potential" "Ten year plan" "HTFU" "lolcodfanboy"
Did I forget any of the standard responses?
Anyway OP is right, when you only get a chunk of a game rather than the full thing balance gets wrecked and a sense of real competitiveness disappears |

You could go omni soldier. But even at 9 million SP I still haven't gotten out of militia gear. |

I agree wholeheartedly that CCP seems to at this point be forcing people into certain builds. To stay competitive toe-to-toe you almost have to be rocking an AR of some flavor. You can do other things but your deaths will reflect it (not necessarily kills, I drop mofo with my hmg regularly in decently sized piles, but if I have to close on a TAC im pretty much toast and I can't disengage cuz im fat. |
