Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 681	Posted - 2014.03.01 14:20:00 - [1] - Quote My average suit cost 50K ISK. An average match I get between 150-200K ISK. So if I die 4 times I break even at best. I'll die more then that just trying to kill one tank these days let alone to anyone with 1 level in RR. I can run full proto suits but I never do as I'll never make back the isk of one death, why even bother offering anything higher then advanced when the only way you can stay viable is to run as cheap of a fit as you can? Unless you farm PC or run around like a bunch of tools pubstomping there is very little point in skilling past advanced gear. You get more in pain and suffering for dumping hot coffee in your lap, then you do for dying in any number of gruesome way for these mega wealthy corporations paying us. Immortal or not why would any merc put so little value on their suffering to take so little in exchange for what they go though any given battle?

Not really, all infantry things need price reduction or payout increase Leading to increased protostomping and anyone without access to protosuits being unable to compete. Yea I am not asking to run proto full time but either increased survivability or economically survivability at advanced level.

There's these things call PG/CPU requirements, that as a logi that actually runs useful equipment I tend to not have enough of at STD level.

Granted everything's militia except my basic Rail Rifle but nevertheless extremely useful for saving money and helping my team. Logi fit Basic Caladari Logistics Basic Rail Rifle, no need to go higher Two Militia Shield Extenders Militia Locus Militia Rep Tool Militia Injector Militia Armor Plates CQC Logi Caladari Logi Militia Shotgun Militia Locus Militia Rep Tool Militia Injector Militia Kinetic Catalyzer Two Militia HTH Mods Melee damage is 141.1HP. Oh and my PG/CPU fits this well. I can run any number of free/cheap fits, but my point is that players shouldn't have to run excessively cheap fits to stay viable. MLT gear should be how a new players makes his initial fortune with STD gear being less profitable but more survivable then MLT gear. ADV you should be able to break even more often then not outside of just being bad. Proto is the luxury gear where your not likely going to make ISK but you'll be much more of a force on the battlefield.

Sure some games I may not profit but it evens out. I can tell you now that if they were to increase isk payout there would be a lot more entertaining battles. I love fighting other proto. Someone brought up new player retention and that is an entirely different story. New players should not be playing vets nonstop in pubs. I am not surprised they only play once and never come back. The point of this game is to run cheap free stuff until you build all your core up. You get your weapon profiency and armor shields pg cpu and all that maxed while running as cheap of suits as possible. I managed to save up 100 million that way before I even started running proto. Pro tip Try not to die. I don't die nearly as much when I run proto, but as a logi my proto suits can run up to 250K ISK. So even one death puts me out a ton of ISK. I also run AV fits much of the time this build so I am not going to run proto logi suits to take out 80K ISK tanks. And no I am not throwing myself at tanks, but my AV weapons are only mildly useful vs infantry.
