You keep saying GP gear. I can play Elim and win without any gear or weapons except the stuff they start you off with. M16, M92, Frag, M9, and no gear. On the other hand, you cannot do that with Quar. If you don't have a reasonable chance of winning without buying anything (GP or NX), then it is a flawed game mode. In elim, guns are still balanced enough to play. It takes skill to be better, since there are no guns that are significantly better than others. Specs and Assassins however, have a rediculous upper hand in Quar, as well as the Mutagens. I will admit freerunning takes skill, but you still need to buy gear (GP or NX) for that to be even plausible. All in all, QR is a bad game mode because it forces players to buy things when a game mode should support the use of any weapon and any gear(or lack thereof) and still have a decent chance of winning.
