But you can compete... It takes 2 months to be in a heavy and 3 to have decent skills... Past that the time/skill gap closes drastically and most people venture out and don't specialize as deep. Your far from behind... Start playing a year from now when destroyers hit the field the you might have an argument...but buying ep is and will always be a bad solution to this problem.
I have to agree with you completly Glimpse think about were a new character and a beta character will be in 6 months or even a year, the EP or skill difference will be basically null invoid. I think buyng EP would hurt a player in the long run you need to learn the game and what your play style is gonna be while your earning those EP you earn the right to have them if yah get my drift.
