...are people using less proto gear now that they get killed more easily? I'm guessing the latter.
My payouts prior to 1.4 were typically 230000 to 240000, when I ended up in the top five. Now, they're rarely above 200000, even if I'm in the top 3. |

The tax effect is definitely not what I'm talking about, I'm very aware of that. Also, the most noticeable ISK amount on the end of battle screen is the amount of ISK before taxes.
I don't know, maybe a larger part, as some have noted, are being awarded to the players at the very top. Maybe it's a mixture of that and people being more cautious about their proto suits. Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Got 800k the other day! The pot gets divided! Isk is awarded for other things then killing! I make more then guys killing 30-40 people! Its ALL about HELPING your team WIN! Hack more, kill less! Watch how much MORE you get!
Huh. You must be a hacking whirlwind, then :-D
I've gotten more than 500k exactly once, and that game I got 2000 more WP than the player in second place on my team. Would you say you're in first place in most games? And are you usually way ahead of the other players in terms of WP? Or do you get these kinds of payouts when you're not in first place? |

I've now been paying more attention to this. I think the reason is that people are using less expensive gear. I've played quite a few games where about 50% of people killing me are in starter fits. Don't laugh - I'm a scout 
This could be due to more new players joining, but I've also noticed several known previous protopubstompers are running around in starter fits, killing me with their militia AR in 0.002 seconds. Or whatever. As soon as they get their sights on me. |
