No. An increased isk payout would just make it stupid for me to run anything but proto. I am a poor vet and I have well over 100 mil isk at this point. I rarely loose isk in matches at this point even running all advanced suits. If we get more isk per match I will just run proto all the time since I'll still make a profit. What you really want is reduced isk payouts. That would force older players to run cheaper fits to still make their profits thus making it easier for new players to compete with them.

A reduction in the total isk in circulation would greatly level the playing field.

ISK payout is F****. Why is it I go 2400+ WP 27-6 in kills and come in second place only to get 160K ISK. ISK payout never makes since. I can go 8-1 650 WP and make 240K while I can go 48-9 3000 WP and all I get is 220K ISK If someone can tell me how ISK is paid out and I can prove you are correct I will donate 50 million to your genius.

Could we possibly get a bump in isk payout? Just because I wasn't at the top of the list doesn't mean I didn't contribute to the battle. 120K for fourth place is mildnesa. My suit cost forty K and I died four times. Djinn. At least let me make a profit. I went 18/4 and got 120K isk? Terrible

So, essentially you used a mildly costly fit to perform mildly well but you failed to make any ISK.

I'm going to be the broken record here and say "don't field what you cannot afford." If you wanted to make ISK but failed to do so at the end of the match, the fault lies with you and not the system. The player, you, has full control over how much ISK is risked in a match.

It's not that ISK needs to be buffed, but that everyone on the team needs to start earning more or less equal amounts of money. Of course, the AFKers would have a field day, but that's a problem that's actually quite a quick fix.

Makes sense. Until you enter a match with militia vs protostomppers.

Sure, you won't lose any money. But you just wasted 10 minutes of your life on something that wasn't even fun.

This is one of those situations thats its tuff to pick a side .

I can agree that it isk payout need to be a bit higher not by much but marginally for those with out BPO's to be able to make some isk.

There is allays the issues of players wanting to play with fits outside there pay bracket causing bankruptcy. If you do not know how to balance your books your never going to turn a profit period.


My 3 money making fits ATM are

Templar Sentanl
1x Militia dmg mod bpo
2x Militia armor plate bpo
Templar Scarmler pistol
Heavy machine gun
Flux grenade/av grenade/Militia locus grenade bpo

total cost 2200 isk non bpo variant 5000 isk

Large profit suit for sure

Amar Templar logi
2 x militia dmg mod bpo
militia armor plate bpo
militia armor rep bpo
dren ar bpo/ Templar scrambler rifle bpo
Templar scrambler pistol bpo
Templar uplink bpo
militia uplink bpo

cost 0 isk isk variant 5000 isk

Caldari commando

militia dmg mod bpo
basic shield energizer
dren ar bpo
rail rifle

cost 6000 isk full is variant 6500

notice the prices for the fits I could die 50-100 times in a battle and still turn a profit ( even if I ran the full isk variants).

To the new guys out there get your core skills up and you will see these fits survivability sky rocket.

Find a truly cheap fit with a 7k isk max limit that fits your play style and run it till it feels like your proto.

Get your wallet up to min a 100m ( should take about a month for some one who caps weekly ) and problem solved.

Hell no. When I burn an 80k dropship + 20k suit lugging uplinks all over the map, then commit suicide to pull out nice nanohives in the right places, then commit suicide in that 120k suit AGAIN to come back in a combat fit and go to work, then rack up over a third of my team's total kills, I've earned my 500k Dom payout. I don't care if people "tried" to help the team, if you go 1/15 with 100WP, I'm not taking a pay cut for the sake of equality. New Eden blah blah.
