Think about it this way: scarcity of a resource is what gives it value. If the average player struggles to fund themselves then that means the economy is working and that both decisions and ISK have weight to them. Honestly it's the main thing that makes this games economy work. I LIKE struggling for money. I love knowing most other players are doing the same. It's the aspect of the game that is the most exciting and keeps it from being JUST "a lobby shooter ." It's added persistence and it's what makes things count. If everyone made enough to run what they wanted all the time then ISK would be worthless. Enjoy the grind, it's what's keeping things interesting.

Well, I'd never ask, but I'd never so no, either!

But really I think the scarcity is in the spirit of the game. The fact that people are on the forums complaining that they can't run the fits they want to adds to the robustness of both the game play and the meta, which feeds right back into the mood of the game and, consequently, the lore of it as well. It does have drawbacks, however. The other day my friend straight up rage quit because of ISK loss and refuses to sign back on until some changes are made (but to be honest it's mostly his Rambo play style that gets him in trouble), but there is a very beautiful and delicate balance there to be preserved.

Rich people thinking they are gods there's the problem.i will follow you as my god if you give me some Isk .

I think you should

I am looking for a group of 32 of the so called 1% to join me in a 2 sided q-sync into a pub domination for an all out isk blood bath so that I and hopefully a couple of others can film the payout results.

My goal here is to prove that with the way the pub payouts work the guy at the bottom of the board who did nothing should be thanking the two guys running proto who died twice and increased theirs and everyone elses payout.

The channel for this is " Payout Proof "

Please be ready to run a series of very expensive pub contracts. My goal is to run a series of 3 matches where I achieve a set number of points to compare the payout on film for everyone to see.

The process will go like this:

1 squad running ADV gear into a pub.
1 squad running PROTO gear into a pub.
2 squads running ADV sync into opposite sides.
2 squads running full proto sync into opposite sides.

and the grand finale two teams of 16 sync onto opposite sides for a full proto bloodbath.

My goal will be to complete each of these and film all of these matches while achieving only 400 points before I afk to analyze the payouts from each. Hopefully we can get a group willing to contribute to this experience as well as have some crazy matches outside of PC.


Please be patient in the channel as it will take a little time until we have the people to complete this experiment.
