Mauren NOON The Exemplars Top Men. 383	Posted - 2014.07.14 04:05:00 - [1] - Quote I just played a game of skirmish. I went 3/0(undesirable map...I was sniping) and I got 37,472 Isk.....W T F??? In what world does 37k Isk seem fair? If I got 50wp and got 37k I would still be mad. The cost of deployment would be at least 50k. Please increase Isk payout CCP. Scr and commando enthusiast.

Malkai Inos Any Given Day 1502	Posted - 2014.07.14 04:15:00 - [2] - Quote Three kills +á 50WP. Total WP==50. How did you...what? You totally can get **** for ISK if you're joining late to the game but that WP total doesn't make sense. Edit: Meh. Misread the WP part. Still. you probably joined late or triggered some AFK prevention with your "patient" playstyle. You can take a benign object, -you can take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to its source...
Atiim Fooly Cooly. Anime Empire. 10454	Posted - 2014.07.14 04:24:00 - [3] - Quote I agree that ISK payouts in Public Contracts need to be increased, but if you only go 3/0 while contributing nothing to your team, you shouldn't get jack shit. The Snack That Smiles Back, Tankers! -HAND
Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 8770	Posted - 2014.07.14 04:26:00 - [4] - Quote If you come in late, even if it is less than a minute into the match, you will get a pretty heavily reduced payout. It's rather stupid and seems to happen a lot when I queue up solo. I always back out of those matches as soon as I notice, not worth it. Amarr are the good guys Their way of the Commando seems right and noble
Thumb Green The Valyrian Guard 1108	Posted - 2014.07.14 04:28:00 - [5] - Quote Must have came in late. I've came into plenty of matches late and end up getting the most WP's on my team by far but still get less than 200k; a lot of times it's barely over 100k but if it's really late it's usually less than 50k. Still, playing to win can break you pretty fast when you're on the crap team. So I certainly agree the payout needs to be higher because I usually play to win and unfortunately I'm usually on the crap team of random newberries. Can't say I'm all that surprised. I've been drinking and may be drunk.... probably like most dust players.

On to my next point. It is quite annoying seeing people that do not understand the payout system what so ever saying that it needs to be changed. The payout is created by the ISK destroyed in battle. Everyone in the game has the choice to raise payouts by spending more and destroying more. If you do not believe me then get a squad of 6 guys to Q sync against your squad and fight each other in full proto. What you will find is a significantly increased payout as long as you have a good share of the WP on both sides. Here is a link to one of the few times CCP was clear about a mechanic which explains the payouts very well. It is the useless ranting by forum warriors who have no idea the mechanics they are talking about which only feeds CCP's propensity for ****** changes. You are only making yourself look bad by whining about a situation which you have obviously not taken more than a moment to think about. Laser focused in a room full of mirrors.

Mejt0 Made in Poland... E-R-A 189	Posted - 2014.07.14 09:14:00 - [14] - Quote Isks payouts too low? Then do some **** to your team geez. My every match, no matter if i play with proto or std (very rarely), and vs militia/proto guys. Im always getting 300-500k per match, no matter if i lose 0 isks or 2m isks. And so do get every other players who plays in game. Learn to make wp. Thats what gives you isks. Killing is small part of money in pubs. If ill go 30/0 in kill while not being 1-3 place and with wp only from killing, the payout will be lowered. If ill make few kill (or +10) and make a lot of wp from hacking, destroing vehs/instalations then payout is at top place.

Your isk is payout is based on one thing, wp, the more war points the more isk. The guy in first place with the most wp ALWAYS gets the most isk. If you blow up 10 tanks and I put down 15 drop up links and I get 5000 wp and you get 4999 I get more isk. Thats how it works. Its simple. The more wp gets more isk. Guy with the most wp gets the most isk. Also the larger your wp count is in 1st place from the guy in 2nd place the bigger the gap in payout.

Derpty Derp It's All Gone Derp 209	Posted - 2014.07.14 13:01:00 - [24] - Quote 9 times out of 10, if I'm thrown into a match where the mcc shields are already buggered, I'll just quit and jump into a different match. When being thrown onto the losing side (as that's where most of the ragequits will occur) there should be a massive bonus for being thrown in late, otherwise there's no incentive to actually try to turn the tide of the battle.

Sorry for not being a mouse and keyboard sniper...but I will be the first to admit that I'm nowhere close to the best sniper. And I really don't need people saying I didn't get Isk for being a sniper. And those who think I was in the redline can rest at ease because I wasn't but I saw no reason to waste my time dying when 3/4 of my team was an NPC corp. the other team was stacked Scr and commando enthusiast.

Ended up with around 700 wp. So, with ONLY 3 kills, some assists and a couple uplinks (which may or may not have been destroyed before earning you a single point - people have to actually spawn off them to benefit you after all), do you honestly think you deserve the same payout as someone who gets 20+ kills while pushing, capturing, and defending objectives? Or the Logi who's in the thick of the battle repping and re-supplying his team? No, you don't. Risk vs. Reward. You didn't put yourself at risk, you did very little to actually help your team, and therefore you didn't earn as much as those who did. If you want to sit safely up on your little hill, far away from the action, and snipe, then I'm sorry, you don't get to earn very much reward for that. Working as intended.

Here is a link to one of the few times CCP was clear about a mechanic which explains the payouts very well. It is the useless ranting by forum warriors who have no idea the mechanics they are talking about which only feeds CCP's propensity for ****** changes. You are only making yourself look bad by whining about a situation which you have obviously not taken more than a moment to think about. The only time I don't run proto is when I can't afford it, which is around 200k per fit. I'm usually on the crap team of random newberries vs the organized team of protos. In a matchI usually get 10-20 kills which are likely ~200k fits as well and a couple of vehicles kills which have been more ADS' recently so that's around 300k+ a ship. When I am on the crap team I usually get most of the WP's being close to 2k a lot while the other top 5 haven't broke 1k and the rest are lucky to have more than 500 WP's; I'll usually get between 250k and 350k. Now if I don't die it's pure profit but usually I can die anywhere between 1-5 times and in the really bad games 10+ times. I know how the payout system works and it isn't impacted by "how much ISK you destroy" as much as you think it is. It's mostly your share of the team's total WP's that determines how much you get. I know this because back when Scotty often didn't completely fill a match before starting it; I got put in a couple of matches where it was 1-2 on my team vs 12+ guys. Didn't destroy a thing and only hacked one or two installations before retreating to the redline; I ended up getting over 1 mil for those matches because it was just me on the team or the other guys just AFK'd in the MCC. Adding a small modifier to the base payout isn't going to fck things up. Can't say I'm all that surprised. I've been drinking and may be drunk.... probably like most dust players.

Ended up with around 700 wp. So, with ONLY 3 kills, some assists and a couple uplinks (which may or may not have been destroyed before earning you a single point - people have to actually spawn off them to benefit you after all), do you honestly think you deserve the same payout as someone who gets 20+ kills while pushing, capturing, and defending objectives? Or the Logi who's in the thick of the battle repping and re-supplying his team? No, you don't. Risk vs. Reward. You didn't put yourself at risk, you did very little to actually help your team, and therefore you didn't earn as much as those who did. If you want to sit safely up on your little hill, far away from the action, and snipe, then I'm sorry, you don't get to earn very much reward for that. Working as intended. If I got around 700wp how would I get that much from 3 kills and kill assists? Think about it rationally...I at least got 15 spawns. So I don't know what you are getting at and I was in the redline. I have AFK'ed with 0wp and gotten more....the payout system is a wildcard. Scr and commando enthusiast. A commando is not just a suit, but a way of life... "The only thing to fear is fear itself"

On to my next point. It is quite annoying seeing people that do not understand the payout system what so ever saying that it needs to be changed. The payout is created by the ISK destroyed in battle. Everyone in the game has the choice to raise payouts by spending more and destroying more. If you do not believe me then get a squad of 6 guys to Q sync against your squad and fight each other in full proto. What you will find is a significantly increased payout as long as you have a good share of the WP on both sides. Here is a link to one of the few times CCP was clear about a mechanic which explains the payouts very well. It is the useless ranting by forum warriors who have no idea the mechanics they are talking about which only feeds CCP's propensity for ****** changes. You are only making yourself look bad by whining about a situation which you have obviously not taken more than a moment to think about. The only time I don't run proto is when I can't afford it, which is around 200k per fit. I'm usually on the crap team of random newberries vs the organized team of protos. In a matchI usually get 10-20 kills which are likely ~200k fits as well and a couple of vehicles kills which have been more ADS' recently so that's around 300k+ a ship. When I am on the crap team I usually get most of the WP's being close to 2k a lot while the other top 5 haven't broke 1k and the rest are lucky to have more than 500 WP's; I'll usually get between 250k and 350k. Now if I don't die it's pure profit but usually I can die anywhere between 1-5 times and in the really bad games 10+ times. I know how the payout system works and it isn't impacted by "how much ISK you destroy" as much as you think it is. It's mostly your share of the team's total WP's that determines how much you get. I know this because back when Scotty often didn't completely fill a match before starting it; I got put in a couple of matches where it was 1-2 on my team vs 12+ guys. Didn't destroy a thing and only hacked one or two installations before retreating to the redline; I ended up getting over 1 mil for those matches because it was just me on the team or the other guys just AFK'd in the MCC. Adding a small modifier to the base payout isn't going to fck things up. Thanks for the answer! :) glad to see not everyone turns the hate switch on when I mention sniping Scr and commando enthusiast. A commando is not just a suit, but a way of life...

I went 42-5 over 4K WP came in second place and only made 300K+ while a tanker who cam in 4th made nearly 500K I have talked to other tankers and they always seem to make more than infantry. You get more kills, WP, and contribute more and you get a lower ISK payout because your infantry. Want proof run a militia tank and compare it to your normal ISK payout and tell me there is not a pay difference. Closed Beta Vet and Heavy, so no I am not FOTM I am an Antique

I have been in battles where I have only got a modest kill / wp score and I clear 200k easily. Other battles I will get a really great amount of kills, WP, destroy expensive tanks, the odd proto suit and still somehow only come out with like 160-170k...... -=#[ Gastun's Forge ]#=- MY LIFE FOR AIUR!

Will Driver Horizons' Edge Proficiency V. 138	Posted - 2014.07.14 19:49:00 - [42] - Quote I think this has been covered, but to put it simply, you must have ranked last or close to last for the payout you mentioned. How you rank against your team matters a lot. If 3/0 were first place, and no one else came close, you would have been paid a great deal. So you are actually in competition against your team in terms of the WPs you earn and your ranking at the end for ISK payouts. 'm not in favor in increasing ISK payouts in Pub matches. Players must learn to live within their means, that's an important part of the Merc economy. Otherwise, players would be using proto everything all the time.
