Ever had this happen to you? You're in a game, doing everything you can to help your team win, throwing suits away to get uplinks into places, be a logibro, or just trying your hardest to keep the enemy from hacking the objective while your blueberry team finishes their coffee and doughnuts before joining the party. You do your best, but alas, it's not always enough. Still, you figure "Hey, I tried, I worked for it, I did okay and I actually contributed... we might not have won, but... still..." It's usually an okay feeling, even if you did lose some Isk...

And then you get your paycheck... All that hard work, all that time spent throwing yourself into the line of fire or putting your best suits at risk to try to pick up the slack, only to get paid a measly 170K or something of the sort. It's baffling, really, putting in so much effort yet getting so little in return, usually having a fair amount of kills and hacks and just about everything else that comes with trying to carry a team...

And then the next game comes around. Perhaps a stomp in ambush or something of the sort, only five or so kills gained, give or take... 200K payout for doing almost absolutely nothing... Straight

The heck is with your payout system, CCP? And why does it reward more for a few measly kills in ambush than it does for 20+ in other game modes?

Then spend the money on other matches in expensive gear. It's like there is a threshold just above scrub and just below point farmer that is called "working class clone", where you get paid pennies on the isk to work your arse off and don't see big pay unless you crack a high k/d or wp score. Mark a$$ tricks, and bags of dicks....

I usually run starter fits in Ambush too just for the pay check. It's a meat grinder anyway. The dirty little secret of DUST is that there is no material gain to be derived from "winning". Pride is the only thing you fight for. This is the unfortunate truth. I have read posts from players over the months that claim you get more ISK from winning but I have never seen it and don't believe it. I play every day. I don't need anyone to tell me how things are. Once I realized this, I stopped throwing away suits rushing the objective alone into a hell storm of bullets time after time trying to win when I was new. Now a little wiser, I pick my spots very selectively since I play solo, or I just look for someone to shoot. I have much more fun as a result. Wisdom is what you gain after you need it.

My proto suits have nothing to do with the isk I make, neither does winning. There is a direct correlation between how well you perform (past a certain threshold) and how much you get. The rest just get consolation checks. Mark a$$ tricks, and bags of dicks....

Normally who cares, but this case was a special case, of special. It was a dom, the node was rings, and these ***** retards are trying to redline snipe goddamn no one. The enemy team was proto'd out and I understand being scared, it happened to me once, I pulled the parachute and it was over, but I understand the feeling. Redline sniping when you haven't been pushed back to you redline is so *** *** there needs to be a more effeminate word to describe it.
