Not sure when, but it seems like this is going to happen. But I wonder...
This will probably make the game a lot better and more fun and that's the important thing, but... what's the purpose of getting better gear and upgrading your related skills then (I'm not talking about skills which actually improve your stats, but pure "core" skills to equip better stuff)?
I'm quite sure no one will run a 200.000 ISK dropsuit anymore just to face 16 protobears lol. Can you imagine that? XD |

Depending on the match making system I suppose it could be the equivalent of corp/pc battles, at the high end, without the need to buy clone packs. It just depends on whether you can stack squads when entering battle. If you can or even if you can't I expect you will see 16v16 all in proto. It will be for the hardcore players and squads (corps). |

So you're saying the only reason to use better gear is to pubstomp? |

I think the people that will benefit from this are noobs that do not have proto level gear.
I believe that it will be on available fittings. So people who have proto fittings will only be faced with other people with other fittings. My reason for this assumption is if it were based on sp, that Sp can be put anywhere even corporations, it doesn't mean they have proto gear. If it were based on inventory, well anyone can get proto gear from salvage.
How to avoid facing proto bears and always be in std gear matches?
Delete your proto fittings before joining a match, make sure the whole squad does the same. Probably best to join a chat with players at the same level gear. |

If the rewards for the higher-tiers remained the same as they are now, no one would bother playing in higher tiers. It'd be nice to play at the proto-level on an even footing with other players as long as the rewards for the gear spent were justified. |

It's just going to be annoying if I can't run my militia fits without being put up against full squads of proto  Then it will come down to who wins in PC the most and sits on the most ISK since you'll be hard pressed to make an impact in low end gear with full teams of proto (same reason new players aren't allowed into PC)

I'm expecting a lot less one-sided matches where matchmaking puts all the protos on one team.
Then again my main concern is the ability to be put on the same team as your friends which can easily overwrite the point of balancing teams based on stats. I could simply add all the top players to my contact list and I wont have to worry about fighting them which I think this idea is, while convenient and in good faith, just doesnt work.
I'm already beginning to see a trend with corps where they would have several squads search for a match at the same time which given the low player count, its pretty easy. Either a) they get matched into the same team and destroy their opponent, or b) get matched into seperate teams where one of them can simply MCC AFK and throwing the match for their corpmates on the other team. Friend matchmade stacking will be easier than ever. |
