Rush to proto gear so you can kill MLT and STD noobs easily. Don't have enough sp/ISK? Then start thinking more to take down those protos. I was actually able to headshot a PRO assault player 4 times with my STD Amarr logi suit and SCR, by hiding around the same 4 corners. Some PRO people are just plain stupid.
However if you have PRO gear AND you're good, then have fun stomping everyone else. That's how the game is supposed to be played.
Plenty of people have you are not me so you have not read what I have this is not battlefield 3 or call of duty where skill points only unlock different kinds of guns. |

I can't say I know what CCP intends... but I think we need to be careful projecting what we expect onto DUST in terms of how much EVE will be built into it over time.
A lot of folks around here aren't looking for "just another FPS" but something that does have progression. Of course, this requires ways for the newer folks to stay out of the badlands where they will get owned. Maybe it is as simple as keeping more experienced players from competing in higher-sec battles (yes, an EVEism). I don't know the plan. I don't know how much of that direction CCP intends.
But, most importantly, it's not for you or I to decide. I think if we're going to see an FPS with EVE like factors in it, CCP is the company that would be making it. Don't be surprised if that happens. |

No. Skill is utilizing tactics, you have it backwards. There is nothing WRONG with doing this, but everyone needs to be clear it is EVE with guns instead of a FPS in New Eden. We could strive to reward both, but we don't. No balance, one trumps the other every time. |
