As an additional gut-check...if you consider yourself a "profitable" dust merc...what is your WP avg per match?

A good match for me is 1000wp. Avg is around 500-600 probably.

I would love to see any correlation between profit and avg WP/match.

I average about 2 million in losses a day.

But slight in the green started this expansion with 60 I'm at 80 mil now despite losing about 200 Sivas.

I call BS - unless you spent the entire match using the kill/revive boosting exploit. 6000wp is 100 kills and 1000wp more from support stuff - that's not possible without exploits.

As for the OP - I always try to run a profit in matches and probably do in at least 3/4 of games. But I don't have proto suits yet and run adv gallente scout; even when I do get proto, I probably won't use it because it has less high slots for damage mods. My most expensive suit is 45k and that's my AV fit. I've tried using proto weapons boosting the cost up to around 80k and did a little better but not worth twice the price.

Generally I finish matches top 3 with <1000wp being a bad game; 1500 being normal; and 2000 being a good game.
