at the end of games! a proto suit costs up to 220K(logi's) or an average proto suit costs 140k_170K ISK, the battles only give around 200K (2nd/first place) so, please at least boost it by a 1.5-2X multiplyer, IE 300K-400K for first place or more. |

Someone ran out of money failing at protostomping. Run ADV gear or STD for while, deal with it. You're not supposed to be able to run proto 24/7. |

Disagree. The point of protosuits being expensive is so that they're... you know, expensive? Protostomping would be even worse than it is now for new players if everyone could afford to run proto gear. |

it was sorta balanced in 1.2, although PC was in the works and being created, but now all the money IS in PC, thats also a point, look at team players for an example, 15% of molten heath, that equals around 300mill a day of gain, think about that if your rich. |

The ability to run PRO-level gear all the time defeats the point of the economy...of losing your gear when you die. I'd like to see more ISK sinks in the game, rather than more inflation... |

If you've got enough money to run proto continuously for 7 months, how is the payout too low?
As someone who does not PC in the slightest, I think it's totally fair that all the big money is in PC. That requires a level of organization that is deserving of the high payout. If someone is a highly-successful PC-battle-winning merc in a corporation that controls a huge amount of Molden Heath, they deserve that virtual money.
The only possible argument I see for increasing payout in instant battles is to make life more livable for HAV/ADS pilots, but that could be just as easily accomplished with a vehicle price reduction. |

I am an HAV driver, i like the idea of a price reduction, esspecialy for litteraly useless enforcer HAV's, and almost no one uses them because thay are slow and have less PG/CPU and costs 6 times more than a normal tank.. |

As much as I love isk, jus stop running proto if you can't afford it.
If you can afford proto 24/7, then WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING??????

Here's the problem: The players that can afford to run proto suits all the time are those are actively participating in Corporations/PC; these are generally the best players and they like to roam in packs...meaning lots and lots of deaths for the opponent. An opponent that is probably still running around in standard gear and asking for Isk in local chat channels due to the fact that they're dying 15 times a game and can't afford to suit up in anything more expensive.
Personally, the lack of Isk rewards means that I no longer run a proto suit if I plan on engaging in direct combat (I still use it for sniper/AV builds for the increased slots.) My "best match" in my proto suit was something like 13 kills/8 assists/4 deaths--I received about 200k Isk for the match, a net loss of about 250k. Now I run a 15k-ish suit and hope for the best. It's actually kind of ridiculous that so much of the game is built around the concept of grinding for better skills/weapons, then actively dissuades you from reaping the rewards.
Summary: The people that can benefit the most from the proto gear are the ones that will likely struggle to afford it. The people that don't need proto gear, however, can run it almost non-stop. |

I like the "use AUR" part.

At its base I think you make something like 50-100 isk/ second regardless of performance in game.
Then after things are divided up after battle you get your WP portion of the loot. If you got 10% of your team's WP and your team won, and your team gets 2 million in loot, then you will get 200k in earnings + 75k ish from 'attendence'.
I really don't think people lose MUCH more than 5-6 million between everyone in a whole match. With 6 million, if 75% of clones are killed in a skirmish, that would be an average of 30k isk per suit.
If you know your minimum you are guaranteed to make in a normal skirmish match 80-100k isk, that should start to determine the maximum that you are prepared to lose.
Risking 5 to 10 times what you could possibly make from a public match doesn't make sense. |

You can get more isk in games, just last night I got 500k in one game. All it took was 6 tanks to die from my forge. |

I believe everything is as intended if they increase the net income of players than they will also increase the amount of proto-pub-stomping players not to mention the increase in the amount of tanks.... |

The only reason I see the small payouts as a problem is this:
The large PC corps can use their PC earnings to fund their Protostomping in pubs and FW.
This means for other Corps/Squads/Teams/Players to even have a chance at enjoying the game, they have to use proto as well.
The large PC corps don't care about taking a loss in pubs/FW because they know they will make it back in PC or simply petition their Corp for more isk.
The smaller Corps and solo players my not have this option, or at least not to the extent of the larger corps. This will create a large insurmountable divide in the player base.
You will end up with the very rich getting richer, while the poor continuously struggle to so much as break even.
Some solutions would be to expand PC into more systems, to implement PvE, to implement High/Med/Low Sec Battles with gear restrictions, or the reintroduction of the old Corp Battles of Chromosome, where one corp could fight another corp directly.
Any or all of these would alleviate the situation. |

While I have had proto for ages I rarely use them. Generally my ADV suit runs 35K, I can die 4-5 times and still come out on top by a few thousand ISK. I've adapted to the new norm of raw HP wins, so not dieing more than 5 times is doable. Still I'd like to run my tanks/ADS more but its terribly hard to turn a profit when your paper thin ADS dies like it's it's job. If existing suits and vehicles can bankrupt a player I can't see how they will release theoretically better vehicles and suits and ever entice anyone to use them when you earn a pittance with existing gear. Mercs in New Eden have to wake up and realize they are suffering death countless times all for what an EVE pilot makes for killing a single battleship in a mission that will net him 6 million alone. |

No. The choice of when to use proto suits is currently one of the last interesting things about this game. You are not supposted to have proto gear every game. Choose when to use them and don't die as much. |
