How about no

An explanation to your answer would be helpful.

Only after PvE is implemented. I suck, and therefore lose a lot. I would no longer be able to continue playing. And no, starter fits just don't do it for me anymore. So don't say play in starter fits.

Losers get the current payout, cause we all know that it is quite a joke if you don't run STD or MIL fits.

Winners get double current.

Meeko you can easily make a profit using advanced gear under the current payout scheme.

That being said I think that higher payouts for wins, and lower payouts for losses, would be a nice step in the right direction. I also agree that this would make it very hard for new/bad players and that it probably shouldn't be implemented until PvE up and running. As far as it these changes only hitting FW I think that is a poor idea. The games difficulty should be tiered as follows.

High Security Match: Public matches, low difficulty PvE missions

Low Securty Match: Faction warfare (should have team damage enabled to 50%), Planetary Conquest (team damage 50%), med. difficulty PvE missions with a chance of assault by another player (stealing the PvE mission).

Zero/Negative Security Matche: Planetary Conquest (team damage 100%), Outpost capturing (combat on space stations with 100% team damage on), Insertions onto capital class warships (capture a capsuleers joy 100% team damage PvE mission with difficulty based upon the crew armament modules the EvE player fits which would probably be hellishly hard), PvE on planets which extremely high difficulty and the opportunity for other mercs to try and kill you to steal the PvE mission victory (team damage 100%).

You'll notice that at each tier the types of missions and the difficulty goes up? Well the payouts for wins should go up with each tier as well, and at the top tiers the payouts for loosing should be nothing. You failed to protect a district? Why should you get paid for that?

I feel like I don't lose anything when I lose a match. I can care less if I lose, cause it really doesn't affect me. This needs to change.

What I propose is a system that follows these simple points.

-Keep same payout for defeat
-double payout for victory

This will encourage more competitive game-play and make victories seem more like victories, as well as defeats seem more like defeats.

NO we should not be paid anymore than we are currently being paid for successful combat operations.

Why do you think anyone in New Eden would pay more than 200-300k ISK to any one merc for any job?
