Makes perfect sense that the Iki dominates the arenas currently.
I mean I fly a cap stable iki with 3 Medium neuts, point, repper. With Assklaps implants…
If they want to go this route they need to limit it to ship types as well. I can think of nothing more harrowing then going in with a thorax t2 and facing down a neut iki and you just sit there and die.
The main reason to not bling isn’t the isk cost, for me anyways, its that bling is relatively less effective in asymmetric warfare. You get blobbed or ganked and your bling is virtually ineffective.
Take away the blob and bling is a sure way to get an edge, you don’t even have to worry that much about losing your ship. Anyone using only T2 will be playing with a handicap.
