The average match should payout 500 k instead of the current average of 200-300k its nearly impossible to generate isk in ubs using anything other than basic gear

What do you mean by ubs?
Also, whats wrong with basic gear? I have about half of my suits in the 14-20K range for ISK making, and the rest in the 100K+ range for ISK wasting. It's just finding a balance that is necessary, you can't always go uber proto unless you're good enough to afford it. |

Well fit Vehicles cost around half a mill ISK (admittedly the militia vehicles and modules need to be removed, or reduced in functionality as they are simply too powerful to have with 0 SP investment).. they lose 1, and they lose profit... Sure if they don't die they turn a profit, but Dropsuits are the same there.
If anything the ISK pay outs are sometimes too high, allowing Prototype Usage more than it really should.

Im not saying that you cant im saying its hard, i dont know how expensive yout suits are but if i die three times in my adbancee suit i dont make any isk on the match, i can die once in proto,8 in basic. With most matches id say i get five deaths, if im in basic ill be like 40/10 even in basic a 300k. Payout is not enough, especially if i lost all that getting a win

Then the answer is to help put a hold on the ISK farms, not increase the pay outs, which would only help the farmers more.

Untrue. I routinely get 300k isk in matches often with out breaking 3k wp. The trick is that ISK payout is not a direct link to the WP you earned or the amount of time you spent in game. ISK payout also partially depends on your how your WP earnings stack up against your team mates'. If you are in first place the larger the gap between you and the next closest player the more sp you seem to get.
To the OP do you really want me earning more isk? At 500k a match I would never run out of isk even running proto all the time. I am one of the poorer vets at 100 mil. and I already have absolutely no trouble running any fit I want in any battle and still turning a profit in in the long run. A higher isk payout would only really benefit those of use who are already loaded.
If anything newer players would benefit more from having the maximum payout for a match more closely resemble that of the lowest possible payout. By lowering the income disparity the suit disparity between older players and newer players in pubs would also be reduced.
During beta CCP actually flattened out the damage of weapons between tiers since proto was overwhelmingly better than standard (it was far more dramatic than the difference is now). This had the effect of balancing out the game since proto was no longer an "I win button." Isk needs to be given the same treatment. Currently the lowest payed player will make around 60k isk if they are in the match from the start and totally worthless as far as play is concerned. The best players though can make almost a million isk per match (talk to Zero Bloom about that one, he earned over 900k isk in a single match and yes there are pictures but I can't be bothered to grab them from our facebook page). That kind of income disparity leads to people being able to overpower enemies with no regard for their finances. Sure, they might loose isk every few games running all proto, but in general they will come out ahead.
PC is another reason for the massive wealth disparity in the game but that is a whole nother can 'o worms that dosen't need to be opened here.
TL;DR ISK earning should actually all be lowered so that there is less of a difference between the best player on a team and the worst player.

I never got below 100k in a match that I played start to finish, even when I was new to the game and consistently ranked far at the bottom. How bad do you have to be to get 60k ISK? Get not a single WP and die thirty times? |

i think the point he is trying to make is grinding should never be a intentional GAME mechanic. becuse its a GAME there should be challenge, but there should be a GRIND because unless you are a fluffy lombax wearing grind boots on a grind rail GRINDING ISNT FUN. now NoxMort3m would that be a better way of putting it? |

you just have to get double the amount of WP the person in second place has to get real money. That why you run solo if you want to make isk.

There are no proto vehicles. There are complex modules, but there are no proto hulls. When we previously had higher tier vehicle hulls, they most certainly did not turn a profit.
And you can profit if you do well in proto. I do it regularly.

The ideal of not making a profit for running proto is designed to level the playing field in pub matches. The issue is not the payout from the pub matches, it's the other ISK faucets. People who have been playing this game for the entire year, have been in PC, have hundreds of millions of ISK.
This means that practically from now until they decide to leave they could run proto, even at a loss.
Increasing the ISK payouts from Public Matches only feeds this fuel, and makes them capable for longer.
The ISK faucets need to be less, not more, that way these guys who are capable of running Proto 'forever' will not be able to run it as long.
Also, besides Gear, there are very few ISK faucets. One of the many reasons why I believe that Corporate Bases and other 'aesthetic' items should be introduced as ISK sinks.
tl:dr Make pay outs less, and give us more stuff we 'want' to spend ISK on.

They're 'pure ****' if you want to run proto all day while being bad. If you think they're bad, you are dying much more than you should be in expensive gear.
