In spirit of Tax Day I have made a simple survey to see how poor/wealthy the general player base is. I'm curious as to how players who participate in PC compare to players who don't. It's often argued that "ISK farming" in PC allows some players to protostomp 24/7 while the rest of the players often must resort to standard or militia fits.
The survey is 3 short questions and participants will remain anonymous. I will post the results sometime this weekend. Thank you.

Even when my alliance held land, I only got the immediate battle ISK; no passive ISK from the wallet.
I feel like it would be a pain in the ass to distribute it to the corp members.

ive only played a pc once. during my pro days and that was the 1st/ last i will ever EVER play.
on top of that i have around over 190 mil isk. and slowly growing. but thats because ive never once used a suit better than std or put points into suit for that matter. its all been going to core skills for everything.
it is hard sometimes. but i get around it by finding interesting ways to solve my own problems.

It'll help define roles, i promise:)

I had 110m after the first buy back. Donated 40m to corp and have been slowly dropping ever since. My fault, really. I still bring out proto gear to help the team during a stomp. Never had the discipline to run std and below. Non-PC player of course.

I will publish the results this weekend including a few graphs to show any correlation between owning districts/participating in PC and wealth. I'm hoping get >100 participants for the most accurate results as possible.

Corp doesn't PC. I've done a couple, but an insignificant percentage of my wallet has come from those. I've also given away at least 40-50M on this character alone. I have a knack for profitability, it would seem. Still wish I had BPOs, though, namely an LAV and Templar stuff. I'd be bloody DNS rich. |

I play PC, have enough money to protostomp for a while (and getting paid weekly (I think )), but I don't use Proto infantry stuff. My ADS is almost all Proto, because XT-1 Missiles ftw.

1 problem my good sir
Make the survey more specific
Example:
Do you receive pay?
How many districts does your corp have? 1, 2-5, 6-10, 11-15, etc. and any way you want to scale it.
Did you have the game during the beta?
Etc. etc. etc.
So many factors involved with isk
Also make sure to avoid having a few people destory the chart aka my corp owns over 20% yet my wallet has around 30,000 isk. My number will cause a good amount of changes in the chart. So make sure to be careful when displaying the chart and include factors like Mercs who have isk faaaaaaaaaarrrr different from everyone else.
Example: A billionaire pub only player will make pub players seem richer than they are. A poor PC player will make PC players seem pooer than they are.
In my opinion, people say they are poor yet they have over 100 million isk, 50 million isk, or even 20 million isk lol. I have 30K with 11 proto suits ONLY and I have been able to run proto 24/7 for many months. In my opinion, anyone who has over 20 million isk has it made $$$

i think you should also add in how long we've been playing as well, cause if another newberry like me stumbles across this obviously not gonna have as much as a beta vet who also never has been in pc |

I have enough ISK to go full Protard at any moment, but it's because I manage my use of MLT trash fittings in trash matches.
What's PC? Over-hyped, overpaid, extra pain in the ass, extra laggy, corp Skirmish? Cool...

I got 45 mill right now. Topped at 75 mill, gave my bro 10 mill, had some dropship shenanigans. I can make in 8 hours about 5 million (done it) but that's focussed on just using lowbie equipment and working for points instead of winning.
I've never done a PC.

With this particular survey I just wanted to get a very general idea of where everyone is at. What I'll do is create a survey with more detailed questions when I post the results from this one. I'll include your suggestions and any others that anyone would like to make.

I'd like to suggest a few questions:
What level fitting do you run most often?
What game mode do you play most often?
Do you use vehicles or infantry usually?
Approximately what percentage of your game time do you spend in pubs, PC, and FW?

I have 200 million now. Since last 1.7 I have focused more than anything else on playing Dust 'in the black'. I don't PC. |

If I only have 20M ISK, that means that I'm really poor, not just poor. I can easily go down over 20M ISK in a day without donating any of it away.

I'd stay the hell away from Ambush unless my squad puts me through it.
Currently at a few meager millions of ISK after buying an LAV AND Templar Set BPO's. I predict that the investment will get me back to where I was in a few months. Plus I am generally conservative with money and run STD-ADV cheap fits.
