Let's do the math
1 Protosuit = 155 LP + 8,653 ISK
1 Protosuit = 57,690 ISK
155 LP + 8,653 ISK = 57,690 ISK
155 LP = 49,037 ISK
1 LP = 316.37 ISK
Level 10 winning = 659 LP = 208,486 ISK
Level 10 losing = 165 LP = 52,200 ISK
Level 10 requires strong devotion for your faction, only earned after 200 wins for that faction.

Terra Thesis wrote:it's not that simple. nothing in the lp store has isk equivalents. you get the AUR versions with reduced sp reqs. if you've already maxes your sp pre reqs then there's the unique specialist PRO weapons that fit like ADV. i know that's all I'll be spending lp on, not AUR PRO suits when i have V in the skill already. it doesn't make sense to pick the AUR PRO suit as your example calculation.
how much ish you imagine the unique weapons are worth? if a duvolle costs 50k a specialists duvolle is going to be worth a lot more.
I'm not saying the payout doesn't suck, but you're way over simplifying with your "easy" math.
Protosuits are the same stats except the skill requirement, and a ton of people already spent the skill points to get their equipment the normal way. If you're going to use that as an argument, then how about a respec?

Using one item to calculate an exchange rate is not going to work.
You're better off comparing your average earnings from both kinds of game mode, and then calculating which items are the best value for money.
It's not a perfect exchange rate, but it's a good enough reference to let you know that CCP has officially gone insane.

Please explain in further detail this magic that will make 1 LP = 4000 ISK. And do keep in mind 1 Dust LP is not the same as 1 EVE LP. I mean, the guys get 3000 LP just for dropping an OB.
And if you do prove it, then why did CCP release this iteration of FW without a player market? I urged them to postpone it until the player market, and their exact words were "I don't think that'd be a good idea."

When you factor in the exclusivity of the items, and many of their reduced skill requirements, these items may be well worth the effort.
You mean lower skill requirements for the large sum of people who already spent the skill points? If that is going to be your argument, then we need a full respec so we can take advantages of the only think that may make it worth the effort.
