This makes a dangerously good point. ISK return compared to ISK risked is simply not equal, and for the majority of players who aren't in a PC contender Coporation and probably wouldn't be accepted into one if they tried to join...
It just isn't fun running your gimpy standard or starter fit, while your Proto suits that you took the last 12 months to skill into after scraping together enough ISK to buy them just collect dust in your merc quarters.
Do I think everyone should be able to run Proto all the time in every pub match? Hell no. But maybe there's a way to create game modes that require you to risk more, with the promise of more rewards? Standard/Advanced/Proto only game modes for pub matches, FW tiered engagements where escalation of force (what gear/kit you're allowed to use) is agreed upon by both sides? This can even be world into lore. The Amarr want Minnies to return to slavery so they go all out. Amarr use Proto, Minnies use standard or advanced but make extra cash for popping Proto suits with inferior gear. Maybe other matches, the Amarr fugue it's a vital target and pay more for a merc who's willing to risk his Proto gear... but only if he wins. 
I'm just saying, even barring the EXCELLENT  matchmaking mechanics currently presiding over our pub matches, there are ways to make things happen, and to make them more fun. Matchmaking can fix pub matches by matching similar SP leveled met a against one another, once that gets working properly. Sick arse game modes can be even better, NOW. 
Just my two cents.

How many would be considered ideal? And how fun is that? 18-6 with 2000 WP would be considered a decent match by any stretch 18:6 is a total disaster, if you only used ADV gear. This means you died in 1 of 4 encounters, which you choose to fight. Terrible.
... um, 1 in 3. If you're going to be a douchebag, at least try to be right. 
In any case, he's doing hell of a lot better than me, and in any case, if you haven't noticed...
New Eden is not a place for KD/R brats. It's a place for scheming geniuses, dastardly minds with dirty, conniving plots up their sleeves, where life isn't fair, and cults filled with tear-drinking insomniacs stomp your paper target wearing excuse for advanced gear in their Proto gear with Complex kit. Harden. The f**k. Up. Oh... and stop being a try hard.

Actually I'm pretty darn good at math. You're taking your answer of a 4:1 ratio from the total number of encounters, whereas I'm taking my answer of a 3:1 ratio based on wins versus losses. Try going 18 and 6 in a game, and tell me what the game you're playing says that your KD/R is. I'll bet you 1,000,000 ISK that it say you've gone 3:1.
Stop being a try hard idiot who doesn't understand how the game calculates the statistics that you try so hard to buffer. Hell, try taking an objective. You might even accidentally figure out what DUST is all about in the process.
