Jadek Menaheim Xer Cloud Consortium 551	Posted - 2013.12.03 19:16:00 - [1] - Quote I may have missed something in the new dev blog, but I did not see any cap tied to your faction balance. The more games you play efficiently, the better your payout becomes. If that is case, this is a "Gold Grinder's" wet dream. Just keep this individual on an isk retainer + production fee to purchase the faction specific items you desire at launch of the secondary market with a final delivery bonus of goods rendered. I certainly know I'll be playing faction matches with my trusty Winmatar charge sniper combo for precision kills without the mess of accidental TK.

Yes I understand the point, but you can still keep earning at that level 10 amount which appeared to be just shy of 70,000 LPs. There is no cap on the overall amount you can earn, thus perpetual grinding becomes possible option.

I certainly know I'll be playing faction matches with my trusty Winmatar charge sniper combo for precision kills without the mess of accidental TK. You missed the part where all FW rewards cost not just LPs but also ISK too. This is just like in EVE where items in the LP store cost a combination of ISK, LPs, and sometimes require that you turn in the "basic-item" to be used in the construction of the FW version of the item. I think you misread what I wrote. The client would provide production capital to the gold grinder + the retainer fee (periodic payment, or bonus payment rendered on delivery of goods). The production capital would be used by the grinder to purchase weapons with that player's stock the Loyalty Points. Some corporations, i.e. Niyan San may find this lucrative so they can continue to pubstomp while not needing to worry about the FW sink and loss of protogear. .

Jadek Menaheim Xer Cloud Consortium 551	Posted - 2013.12.03 19:40:00 - [8] - Quote Beren Hurin wrote: The market will cause a self-cap. You will be able to earn as much as you can afford to spend isk on (because that's what you'll need to do to earn it and buy it). If you have a million LP, and each LP costs 100 isk per LP to convert into goods, you will have to sink 100 million isk to make that LP useful. The higher standings you have, the higher profit rate you will have to have to make it all into something (I'm not sure they've done the math on this yet). IOW if you are 'grinding' FW at this high rate, you will have to grind isk at an even higher rate. The indirect effect likely being that unless you can consistently get a rediculous KDR(>10:1) AND WIN, then people will likely spike their standing, get their payouts, and then revert back to public matches to find a pub:FW rate that matches the rate that they can convert LP to usable goods. Until we have a player traded market, it will be difficult play FW for its own profit. Its profit will be indirect. Agreed, but this is where corporations sitting on districts in Molden Heath come into a bit of a win fall with their clone production and isk reserves.

Not sure how you figure that. WP are WP and you either have Eve support or you don't. I guess I was thinking along the lines of Orbital spam. Now that there's a timer for EVE side orbital strike use this will foreseeably reduce the spamming of multiple orbitals by proto logi farmers. Yes, WPs are still valuable. However; orbital counts per match will be far easier for CCP to control under the new faction warfare mechanics in those match contexts.
