We Need More.
I'm Poor.
Alot of us are.
Pay us Mercs what we deserve.
This Standard payout that bounces like a rabbit on crack just isn't working. |

haha that's just it, man.
I don't. Most of what I run is still just at standard level.
Restocking is a b***h.
In the past week I've only earned about 3 mil after restocking. and after a little less than a month and a half i've only earned about 34 mil
I honestly don't get how some people can run Proto everything every game, all game.
We all get paid the same right?
Then how do some afford to do what others can't?
I have friends that have been playing since closed beta and can still barely afford to run proto when needed (PC matches)
While there are a select few who can and will run proto literally every game all game no matter what their k/d is. Even in public matches.
Is there some secret to earning insane amounts of ISK? |

You're funny.. really funny.
My K/D is decent, as is supposed to be with a logi.
I go positive or break even in most games.
Those unfortunate games where i just happen to get protostomped i still do decent most of the time.
Last proto stomp i had (last night) i still went 14/13
My average k/d is more like 11/2 or 8/4. Somewhere along those lines.
That's been since I joined Molon Labe though.
I'm still trying to make up from my k/d from when i was in D-Uni...
I've gotten alot better since, but my ISK gain has still just at the very bare minimum improved. |

LOOK I MADE A RHYME YAY
SEND ME 1M ISK OK?
do it b1tches. I wanna buy stuff. u love me you just are afraid to commit.
(we're supposed to beg in this thread right? idk.)
I like playing logi - so i play logi
If there were a militia logi i would definitly try it if it were cheaper.
And no - Not begging for a hand out.

Its the deaths thats the important bit... thats what pulls you into the negative. Its what you have to work on. Your kills/assists/revives mean nothing if you die 3 or 4 times in adv/proto fit suits.
Im not good enough to play leap frog and matrix style dodge up close and i know it... but im not stupid either, if i see the hoard coming towards me i pull back, i dont go rambo. SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, talk to your squad, have your third eye on the mini map, and alway think theres a guy behind you.
Never Ever stop moving. Ever.... even if you think your safe.... ESPECIALLY if you think your safe...
I know and do all of these things.
I didn't get better by doing the same old thing.
But what exactly determines the endgame payout though?
I've heard several versions and variations, even the one you mentioned - amount of deaths.
But I've never found one to be more consistant than the other, the payouts still seem random to me.
Even after testing all the variations of each outcome.
One doesn't outweigh the other. The more I try to mix it up, the more random it becomes.
Destroying this, hacking that, killing him before he kills me.
The payout is still the same, And I've seen others do way worse than me in every aspect and get paid alot more.
IMHO - CCP needs to fix the economic mechanics of Dust. It just seems broken and random to me right now.
And Thoroughly explain how the payouts work. |

Ok.. Alot of good ideas but none of them touch what I'm trying to get at.
I'm not losing ISK. it's the very low gain.
Let me try to explain an example of what I'm trying to get at by saying the payout is too jumpy and random.
If I go say.. 11/2 in a game and earn 1800 WP. Most of the time with that average I only get paid 180,000 to 200,000 ISK
But someone can do way worse than me, something like 5/8 with only 550 WP and get paid 230,000 to 260,000 ISK
How does that happen... at all, to be on average/fair/blah blah blah --- It's just too damn random. And doesn't make sense to me. |

when i left to help smaller corps they would rarely get more than 150k a match and NONE of them could actually tank so they werent getting the beefy payouts either
^That^
Right there, everything you said. That's what I'm poking at.
Why does one corp seemingly get that kind of advantage over another?
Why do some corps get better payouts, even in pub matches?
The fact is, everything in Dust revolves around money (ISK), So, why do some corps make more than others?
Is it the amount of members, the amount of PC matches they play, their combined total K/d, WP, W/L ratio?
Do the amount of held Districts come into factor?
But I'm not exactly curious about the Corp economy, I'm more confused about the singularity economy. How does one person make more per game than the other, when one does better than the other? |

Mazda, That's what I'm confused about.
If what you say is true, and WP's do determine the outcome of the payout,
Then how does someone who earned 550 WP get paid more than someone who earned 1800 WP?
It just makes no sense... |
