This has been something I've gone on and on about since uprising was released. It was something I pleaded for after Fox Four decided to cut the LP payouts before the FW patch.
The vast majority of Dust doesn't not find themselves in a good position from an ISK standpoint. The lack of effort from many could be something of a strike. Although not official, the mercenaries out there seem to need MOAR to make them fight.
We seem to be continuing forward as though Dust will be a longterm MMO type game, but we know that it will only be a lobby shooter. Let's pull back the reins on the grind a bit and worry about creating action and fun in pubs.
ISK payout increases More incentives for winning (changing the formula to 70/30) Increasing salvage and officer drops for winning
Perhaps even lowering the multipliers for Electronics and Engineering to allow new players to bling out their fits sooner.

from what I understand it's at 60/40 now, that's what I'm basing my 70/30 on

Make it to where how much ISK you've destroyed as an individual is added to your end-game payout. We could also make it to where how much ISK you save or keep alive (defined as repairing x% of total Armor HP) is also added to an individual's end-game payout,, so that Logistics aren't indirectly punished.
Though I do agree that more ISK as a payout is necessary. Most players who stay in the redline do so because they realize that the payout they'll receive isn't worth the effort. This issue seems to be very common in FW, where the loosing payout is barely enough to cover 2 Dropsuits.
I love it.
It's perfect, but it's very unlikely to be done. It sounds difficult to do.

Surprised we aren't hearing anything in this area. I would have had Dev blogs and crazy events in the lead up to the Destiny release as well as something the week after.
It seems like they leave so much on the table at CCP. I think Dust must have had sex with some executive's wife or something.

Dude, I'm as fanboy as they come and that's just not a realistic outlook. It's gonna hurt.
They should be doing the things I mentioned more often anyway, but it's a good idea to mimic other capitalist entities when calling yourself a company. Dust is 1000x better than CCP has allowed people to believe it to be.

Cross Atu wrote:Earnings and the ability to sustain a role provided the player in question is executing it well are certainly under discussion. I do not have any definitive conclusions to pass along at this point (honestly such statements are more CCPs dept to make) but I can confirm that the matter has been discussed more than once and is not currently tabled.
I know more details are generally desirable whenever possible so I wanted to pass this along even though it is still in such a preliminary phase at present.
Cheers, Cross
Good to know, it would be nice to see people trying to win more often.

When I am getting crushed in a match against a squad of full proto, I bust out my proto and try extra hard, because I know the payout will make up for my losses. If you make this change I am much more likely to leave the game or sit in the redline because I know a loss is inevitable.
Getting paid for good results has definitely not shown to be a good motivator throughout history. I just figured it would here.
