FFS can we get the payouts increased or SOMETHING??
Maybe a 200K bonus for getting over 500 WP? Something to get people fighting.
Use cheaper gear if you feel the isk isn't worth it. No one said you had to proto stomp in pubs.
Isk payouts are fine, learn to be strategic and to not overcommit or go full tilt. You have no one to blame but yourself when you lose 3 tanks and 10 proto fits in a single match etc. etc. |

Same with lag. It only happens once in a blue moon, but the forums make it sound like this is a common thing. (o_O )
btw, my average Dust 514 gaming:
2 matches where we proto stomp the enemy, but since I'm a fresh cadet I mostly run around getting assists and sometimes heal.
1 match where we get redlined and I die horribly over and over again.
1 match where we get redlined, I die horribly over and over again, but for some weird reason I'm number 1-3 on the leader boards.
Turn off for the day.
The lag that most people are complaining about is likely:
A. Graphic lag, which typically occurs when people spam equipment.
B. Player lag, where players come from another region, have a bad connection, use a lag switch with higher latency which forces you and the laggy player to rely on spray and pray because their clone will choppily update making it hard to predict where they actually are according to the server at any given moment.
C. Server lag, when the server starts having a seizure and everyone is rubber banding constantly.
B. is what people get upset with other players about because it forces a specific sort of play style that also acts as leveling of the playing field between someone with good gun game and someone without good gun game.
A. and C. are what people get upset with CCP about because A. occurs due to horrid code optimization and C. occurs due to tranquility having a seizure or something... |

They are great! That's why nobody AFKs or redline snipes
Most people afk or redline snipe because their team is full of newberries. Raising the isk payout will do nothing but inflate the already inflated economy. What's the point in even having an isk system if the isk payout compensates for bad play?
Besides if half your team is afking you should be running standard gear. You would have to die like 30 times in a match to lose isk in standard gear.
The only way the half afk/sniping matches will end is if real matchmaking is introduced. This would probably require pubs to become squad prohibited though so be careful what you wish for. |
