This is why I don't understand busting out proto gear in pub matches. don't run what you can't afford to lose.
there needs to be some balance in this game so someone with <2 million SP can compete with someone that has >10million SP in pub matches. If people are just running proto 100% of the time then there is an imbalance to the pub matches, which is bad for Dust.
Use throw away gear for throw away matches. Use serious gear in serious matches. It's a rather simple concept.
as for tankers going 40-1 and still losing money, I'll give this bit of advice - if your corp won't finance your tank, find a corp that will. I don't think HAVs were meant for the lonewolf, at least not until we get a contract system up and running where the ISK payout from the contract will pay for whatever tank |

Is having a weapon or suit that is not black somehow magically less fun? does the color really matter that much? with my scrambler proficiency level and one complex damage mod I can still kill pretty much any suit with the basic Scrambler. I have more fun trying to find the most ISK efficient fit I can while still being effective, a "full proto **** yeah" fit is less fun to me.

^this would change the game in my opinion. Pub matches would be more safe for loners and newbros.
It would allow you to cap out quicker, train more, earn more isk, and have more fun.
For starters FW is more than just a skirmish. Just look what happened to Arzad. FW is real and it matters to EVE right now.
I do think you are onto something with "high roller matches" though. I'd support new instant battle type with doubled payouts for the tryhards to run proto, possibly even not rewarding any money if your team loses. It's all about risk and reward, isn't it? |

Well we don't have anything else other than PC and its too difficult and expensive for a majority of the player base. So why not allow them to have more fun?
As much as I want to quit arguing this point as it appears I'm in the minority I just can't help it. It seems so obvious. The game is already a grind in regards to skilling. Why should it also be an endless grind to afford the stuff we are grinding to skill into?
Don't stop arguing - these sort of discussions will help make the game better.
Keep in mind that once the secondary market is released the prices of proto gear will have to change to what people are willing to pay. That alone will change many of your problems with running proto gear, likely making things more feasible to run (a good alliance will have a decent logistics team to supply you) so things will be different in the future.
right now, the less proto gear we have in pub matches the better. this game needs more game modes to separate the players into the different strata so we don't have bittervets proto pubstomping newbies with no reprisal. |
