I basically never ever ever use my proto gear, it's just there to look pretty (aside from my Ishukone forge), it's basically all advanced gear for me.
Who else wishes they could sit on their Merc Quarters couch to look for extra change?
One district makes 12-15 M isk per 24 hour period (assuming its not under attack). Im a director. And we own about 13 districts. Im not poor 
Lol, no im kidding! I have about 73M right now, and I make it a point to never drop below 50M (ever since I last hit that mark) so I can honestly say that I do make money in this game, and only about 10M of that cash has been from PC battle profits. So yeah..... idk, ADV gear is tricky cuz it might be cheaper, but your also more fragile. I can make my proto suit profitable despite going solo in pub matches so I tend to stick with that. |

After giving away the vast majority of ISK I got on Uprising I hover around 5 mil these days and run proto most of the time. Unless it looks like I might die a lot, then I'll jump into free gear. |

I'm actually surprised given that you say you never use your proto gear. Are your advanced fits that expensive and do you die more than 2-3 times a match?
I usually keep to my standard fits and since they run on the order of 10k and I typically die less than 4-5 times a match I have a surplus of ISK (also no PC battles for me). Hm.... I'd think you have a lot more unless you are big into vehicles....
It's not like you can do much with ISK anyway, but that being said, I guess my OCD keeps me wanting to run a profit every match.... also, I have a hard time using my ADV and PRO fits (never used PRO although I've had it a month) given that I feel like I'm still squeezing performance out of my STD fits as I can fit better and better modules with the accrual of SP.
Too bad real life isn't like this! |

run your proto/advanced fits when your with your corpmates
run your 40k+ fits on wed til you cap then run free-10k fits til next wed
if you run a proto suit at beginning of a match and die run free suits till next match so you profit still
My proto suit costs 270k per suit so if I die I lose money regardless of what I run for the rest of the match |

I lost 6 tanks in one Ambush pub today because I was trying to jump it off uneven terrain and see if I could land on people...
These are the things I do to entertain myself while playing...
Lost a little over 2 million that match, so yeah I was broke for the next 20-25 minutes. |

Really, the only thing is this game I find enjoyable is flying. Infantry gameplay is terribly balanced and boring as hell, so trying to earn money without flying is a terrible drag.
I feel for you brother, I miss my wings but it was quite literally bad for my health :/
Can't take that level of stress from a video game >_<
I'll envy you if CCP ever pulls their heads out of their asses when it comes to vehicle balance, but who knows |

I run solo almost always. Despite that. I manage to keep my head above 40M ISK
Even gave a Tanker 9M ISK once. Earned all of it back in 2.5 days. |

Unlike normal sensible people, I roll solo and tend to "go hard" in my advanced gear regardless of how badly my team is getting curb stomped. I'm always the one flying around in an LAV capping objectives and assaulting random points while the rest of my team is getting slaughtered back at base 
I die between 1 and 7 times in any given game, though I have plenty where I die more if I'm just messing around. Average fit is like 60k heavy. I wish I could remove every point I dumped into ARs, such a boring weapon |

I already get really bored really quickly. some days I don't mind running my BPO stuff for lulz but I think it kind of defeats the purpose of the game to not be able to enjoy some of what I skilled into.
::shrugs::
I'd be fine with ISK if I hadn't become a dedicated dropship pilot when Uprising launched.

30 million, time to burn some good suits and kick a few into the Corporation account, to be used by less profitable characters.

I dunno, I don't have any problems accumulating massive sums of ISK, even with advanced gear you would have to die 5-8 times a match every match to not make money.
I have something like 150 million on my main and over 50 million on my alt that I have been playing on for a little over a month. Unless you are using vehicles and constantly losing them, I don't get why people are hurting for ISK. |

Not doing too bad here.
I maintain a float of about 55 Mil.
I usually run my pro to stuff, but as a sniper, I don't burn through it like the CQC guys do.

Tsk, tsk. Do I need to give you another 10 million ISK? What'd you do with the first 10 million ISK I gave you? You didn't blow it on women and liquor, did you?

I only use proto and my bank account only keeps increases. Some think proto is unfair because you can put down people quickly. For me its more about survivability than lethality. You can't die 3 and for times every match. You need to be able to run x/0 a few matches to make a profit.
Doesn't suit everyone's playstyle as some have more fun running in guns blazing against 3 or 4 reds. If you learn to use your equipment more effectively and value your life, you can definitely make money and only run proto.
Personally I like the challenge of staying alive while engaged against pub stompers. |

80+ mil, few dozen mil on other characters.
How much do proto suits cost, anyway? When I run into a black suit with my 5k fit and manage to kill them, how much property damage am I causing?

To increase my tanking skills I have to use tanks. A standard tank costs me 800k ISK, so you only make profit if you don't lose more than 1 each day. 5 pub games are worth 1 tank. It's hard.
Somas are more expensive, since you lose way more due to poor fitting than standard tanks. |

QFT
I have some AUR proto suits but they are purely for PC matches/FW when other team has alot of proto stompers, my Galac is a nice counter to them :D
I have a nice amount of dif suits (lost count as I have setup suits with differing modules for dif jobs IE my sniper suit is squishy anyways so I just run a shed load of damage mods)
in pubs 9/10 I am runing a covenant c1 suit with the toxin AR or Covenant sniper rifle both suits rin to roughly 10-12k for the few ISK items on them and apart from teams full of proto-bears I do pretty well solo or squaded, the lower helath levels make me play better as I am more careful and take less silly risks. the other time I am running adv level assault suits with GEK-38/ Auto scramblers. Plus Intrepidus pays us for recruiting and loyalty:)
Sat at just over 27 million ISK atm and got 160 copies of my covenant suits and around 100 of everything else I need so just grinding ISK when working to cap out |
