As a Tanker, my damage done and damage dealt are vastly superior to that of an Infantry simply because different targets. Infantry and fighting guys between 300-1,100 HP. I am shooting at things with 2,000-11,000 HP. Same when it comes to damage. I can get into hundreds of thousands of damage taken for long fights without necessarily dying, something that Infantry cannot hope to do. Give out paying for Damage Done + Damage Taken and reduce for deaths and you are going to give a windfall to Tankers and just say "screw you Logistics."
I don't understand why people feel as if they are getting less money. I certainly don't see it. I am usually in the top 4 and often number one when running solo (nature of being a Railgun Tanker; enemy vehicles are WP Pinatas). My payments seem to be about the same as they were pre-1.9, though in truth they are higher but than accounts for my Loyalty Rank. Since payments can vary so damn much based on your WP, length of the match, and what you destroyed it is really hard to get a lock on what your ISK was and now is. You would basically need footage or a photo of a match that's same length, starting from the very start, same WP, and same amount of stuff killed to see if ISK rewards changed.
I think the reason people are saying they are getting less ISK is because they are comparing games they got in from the VERY start (as in "Capture Null Cannon to destroy hostile MCC") to games that have already started, even if it is still in the beginning. Joining a game in progress neuters your ISK and SP rewards by really insane amounts. Join a game 1 minute in progress that will go another 12 minutes and get number 1 WP? Have 20% less ISK and SP you would have gotten from joining at the very start. Since this patch, I have noticed a lot of games that I have joined that are already in progress, far more than last patch. This could be the culprit but, again, we would need more evidence rather than just memory and intuition.
