No ISK payouts for FW because of a prospective secondary market to sell LP store rewards on.
That's sheer lunacy on your part CCP. You just gave a huge middle finger to any FW specialists who primarily play FW battles. Thanks to this new change I'll continuously lose ISK whenever I die on the battlefield and will have to resort to the horrid pub matches to make some revenue which keeps me from claiming districts for Amarr.
Another aspect of no ISK payout is that if a new player to the game sees that FW doesn't give him/her money, what's the point of playing it? Trust me, some new player isn't going to catch on to the idea of LP and the LP store that quickly for it to pique their interest.
Yeah I know you're DEVS and what not and likely don't care that one out of your 4000 active daily players is upset about the changes because I have zero influence on your thought process or actions, but CCP, this was just a dagger to the soul...the little hope that I had for this game has just flatlined. |

Having less new players playing FW sounds like a bonus to me, God, I hate those blueberries... They can stay in pubs. And while it is sad that we won't be able to play only FW for a while, the bright side is that once the market goes live we will be f***ing rich. Or not. Plus, it could take a while... |

I wish we could link ISK from Dust and EVE I could support my entire corporations from my wallet...not that we'd need it anyway.
As for the player market I suppose me might Alecksander, depends on how CCP makes the specialist content special, and how FW is going at the time. In order for us to be rich we need to be losing FW, and thus be worth supporting by the free lancers. |

I don't think they can or will, most likely CCP would relegate them to the role they serve in EVE as eternal blue prints that as long as you own, you have the capacity to build, if industry is ever put into our hands then I can feasibly see us making use of them that was as well.
We could possibly even begin putting up Indy contracts for EVE players to fulfil for certain ISK values. |

What most of you are failing to realize is that making ISK on FW fully depends on the nonexistent open market. Without the open market, FW players will simply be farming LP and LP gear but have no one to sell it to. |

Let me explain how it works in EVE
You spend ISK to buy your ships than run missions to get LP than buy stuff with that LP and sell it on the open market for ISK
Your ISK turns into LP and LP back to ISK, generally you will be making more ISK than you lose. |

With the LP items costing ISK as well I don't think the market will be as vibrant for these goods as you imagine.
I hope they take Hanz's advice and wait until they release the market, but I still think they are misjudging the ISK sink thing. LOTS and I mean lots of people run cheap suits in pubs despite having over 100 mil ISK. I don't think getting a Duvalle with a lower fitting requirement is going to make them run proto all of a sudden.
The pubs are full of people who aren't that great in crap suits getting slaughtered for a minute or two until they retreat to the redline. I firmly believe this behavior will only get worse as these hoarders have something else to save up. |

Then why do people complain about players using proto in pub matches? Why do people stop pushing objectives at the first sign of resistance? I don't buy it.
I think the game needs to start rewarding winning and performing well. If it doesn't then this system just provides even more incentive to not play to win. |

Thats just about poverty level. Some folks have a bit more just from pubs.
I had 99 krins since I lost a few in PC battles and pubs but now its back to over a 100 krins, 105 balacs, 102 Thales, etc.....lots of salvage.

They're implementing the no ISK payout BEFORE the open market goes live which means no selling anything. |

LP items cost isk too in eve, its not an or its an and, you pay a lot of LP and less isk then the base variant costs and you get that item and the sell it for a significant isk mark up. |

After asking both Aero and mulltipule others in your PIE chat, I've come to the conclusion that we should have both ISK and LP payouts. Nobody wants to have to play PUB matches all day to make up for the money they lost trying to help out their Federation/Republic/State/Empire.
Not everyone would or could benefit from this, and yeah Adamance (for once) is right. No ISK rewards in FW matches will mean that Pilots, Tankers, and new players will stay the h*** away from FW.
Not that I think new players should be in FW, but if they are average at the game and have a few million saved up, then they should at least be able to try it out. |

How much would you pay for a Duvalle with a slightly lower fitting requirement?
Eve doesn't relate here very well. A four hour session of playing will lead to a higher loss of suits than most Eve pilots will lose ships in a year. |

But won't the lp items be stuff like navy (or in this case army) issue items. Presumably these items will be better, for example better shielded and armored dropsuits and assault rifles with better accuracy and damage. This could be self-supporting if we don't have to use items to get the lp rewards by upgrading.
If they go the eve route, and I have to use an adv assault dropsuit and maybe other items to upgrade it to a caldari military issue dropsuit, then we do have a problem; but shouldn't we figure out how it will work before everyone panics. We will be in a better position to inform CCP of our demands if we know what they intend first. |

Even when they implement the player market if salvage levels are similar to PC currently you won't make much profit.
On average unless I get a tank or dropship or an officer weapon (uncommon, rare, and uber rare drops from salvage respectively) I could sell all of those are the market price and it wouldn't pay for 4 proto suits.
You'll have to die 2x or less if you don't get vehicle or turret drops. Or don't use proto I guess...which I can use advanced and do fine...no big. |

That's sheer lunacy on your part CCP. You just gave a huge middle finger to any FW specialists who primarily play FW battles. Thanks to this new change I'll continuously lose ISK whenever I die on the battlefield and will have to resort to the horrid pub matches to make some revenue which keeps me from claiming districts for Amarr.
Another aspect of no ISK payout is that if a new player to the game sees that FW doesn't give him/her money, what's the point of playing it? Trust me, some new player isn't going to catch on to the idea of LP and the LP store that quickly for it to pique their interest.
Yeah I know you're DEVS and what not and likely don't care that one out of your 4000 active daily players is upset about the changes because I have zero influence on your thought process or actions, but CCP, this was just a dagger to the soul...the little hope that I had for this game has just flatlined. It's not that big an issue. FW doesn't pay ISK in EVE either, and they said that player trading is a major priority.
Once you can sell faction gear, you'll be making more ISK off of FW than you ever could in public contracts. |

Game needs a massive isk sinkhole, course nobody will do it till they can make isk from it again. Economy is already fubr due to PC |

You'll have to die 2x or less if you don't get vehicle or turret drops. Or don't use proto I guess...which I can use advanced and do fine...no big.
Its not salvage you make the cash off of, its the LP gear you get cash off of, and you get LP every match, win or lose. |

The problem is while you make LP every match, if the open market is not implemented at the same time as the FW changes, FW players will be making LP ONLY and no ISK. These FW players could then obtain LP store rewards, but would not be able to sell it which until the open market is implemented would make FW a huge ISK sink. |

LP are Loyalty Points - a currency used to by Naval Issue gear. For example if you fight for the Amarr, you'll gain LP to go towards Amarr Navy items. These Naval Issue items may have different slot layouts, bonuses, and color schemes that will ensure you stand apart from the run of the mill duster.
The idea that CCP has envisioned is that FW players will accrue tons of LP and therefore tons of Naval Issue items that they can then sell for tons of ISK on the open market...problem is THE OPEN MARKET DOESN'T EXIST YET. If the FW changes and the open market aren't implemented at the same time, what will happen is that FW players will not be making any ISK, and will also have a lot of Naval Issue items they cannot sell for ISK at the time either (think of all the salvage you currently have and cannot sell, it'll be akin to that). |
