It depends, if you get 1st place and win, you get a lot more isk. I played a match got 300,000 isk with 2000 WP. You don't need to run an advance suit, just run a cheap suit or a blueprint if you have one. I do just fine in pub matches or FW, I go around 24 and 6 average.

My suit only costs me 14,000 isk and make a profit no matter what. You could buy a militia gallente medium suit and stack armor plates and it only costs around 6,000 isk. Even though I have over 2,000 proto suits, I never use them except for PC. I don't like to stomp new players and discourage them from playing the game. And plus I don't like to waste them when I do just as good in militia gear.

Testing between me and a few others suggests that your Isk earnings depends almost entirely on WP gained with a "bottom out" value. So for example, all the value of any gear that was destroyed in the game gets added up. Devided by two (for two teams) Then depending on how much WP a player has he'll get either more or less of the isk at the end of it. But because theres a bottom out limit even people who just AFK the whole match will get some sort of isk (not as much as those who did play, but enough to at least justify them doing it, this is an effort to reward newbie players for at least trying).

I have played match after match and I am being shorted big time. I am barely breaking 200K ISK a game. Last game I played I went 22-8 with 1335 WP and came in second place my earnings 183,594 ISK. I was killing, I was hacking, counter hacking and I still get S*** for ISK. Match before I destroyed 3 tanks, went 12-2, with 1465WP and I got just over 165K in ISK. I cant keep running my advance suits at this rate. If I die more than 4 times I am in the red. WTF does CCP want us to do, run militia and BPO's. This is F***** awful, and a f***** disgrace. How does CCP expect people to enjoy this pile of excrement if you cannot resupply yourself off the earnings you make. The only way to make up for this is to AFK or run crap gear. My cheapest advance suit cost 47,235 ISK, that is nothing special. So dusties who else is coming up short on ISK?


Edit: To prove my point I sat in the red line and did nothing but set up road blocks for vehicles. I destroyed one LAV with RE's and was orbitaled once. My end score was 2-1 290WP. My total of ISK made 170,257 and I did not do S***. Sorry to the team I was on for I was no help and still made almost the same amount of ISK as I did in the previous battle. Sad I work my A** off to help my team win and I get S*** in return, do nothing and I get rewarded. CCP reminds me of public school, they do not care if you do well, just as long as you show up you got a passing grade

I got 100 mil an in addition to PC work I can look at the people in this thread and laugh.

ALL PROTO EVERY DAY

LMAO @ u noobs. I pull 6-900k a match. You DON'T get paid for hacks,destroying instalations or killing FREE suits. You keep what u kill. A percentage of it. Wanna get paid? Kill heavies.

No, there should be flat payouts for win/loss and per kill/hack/stolen vehicle/stolen virginity.

this random **** based on a bunch of people who want to get more for less use.

When you sign a contract you agree on a rate of pay that isn't based on "whatever we feel like based on how hard we think it was for you"

contracts tend to pay out based on reputation and results. if you rescue a billionaire's kid and get a million ISK reward, he doesn't get to short you because you happened to only have to kill two kidnappers instead of forty. You got the goddamned kid back. pay up.

my ground game is still isk positive and i run advanced gear only and don't fear losing suits either.

Pics or it never happened!

I think you're all still forgetting that my e-peen will CRUSH yours since I made over 3 million ISK in a pub match

Let's stop willy-waving boys, before I slam my slong down on the table and scare you all away.

I too have noticed a more than marginal decrease in ISK payouts, which is stupid. CCP has been lowering payout amounts since codex now, and now with the LP they probably want you to play that so they decrease isk payouts. It's a double edge sword and it's cutting them from both sides because they both have laughably low payout amounts. It's all a push for you to buy aurum.

Pay is based on what is killed on the field.

DING DING DING we have a winner!

No ISK + No BPO = No Gear = AUR Purchases for Expendable AUR Gear.

I'm not sure what they did to the ISK payouts but I have also noticed them to be marginally lower than usual for the same scores I was registering before 1.7. I would average 2000-4000 WP a game (mostly DOM matches) with 20+ kills and 5 or less deaths, receiving a payout of 300-500k ISK a match. Now for the same scores I'll receive between 200-400k ISK per match. Don't believe I have broke a 500k ISK payout other than once since 1.7 dropped (which both teams were running full proto which means higher ISK payout). With those payouts I can only lose 2 proto suits a match or 5-7 ADV suits to make a very small profit.

If I remember correctly ISK payouts are based on WP and the meta level of the gear players wear that die. Perhaps with so many people using LP items the ISK payouts are much lower now. That's just speculation on my behalf though.
