So, to me, it just sounds like you are buttmad that you can't run Proto 100% of the time like you could during the bugged payouts.
Second of all. Dust is relatively fun without spending any money. If you need bigger numbers to flash across your screen to have more fun, then you are the freemium target audience. Sure, spending money does make the game more fun, but it would be broken if it didn't make the game more fun. I can agree with the one , two and three of your statement and it's true and would be a major problem if it wasn't this way .
I spend money and for the most part I enjoy myself , I don't spend as much as some but I do my share to support the company and the game it's self .
This is a business and businesses need profit to profit , that's common knowledge .
I just don't see a problem here .
If ISK payments are more then that would just destroy the fragile balance that this game has .
More people running proto with no problems and no risks .
Is that helpful for new players and those who are less then a year into the game ??? I just can't see how that would benefit the structure .
Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

Sure, spending money does make the game more fun, but it would be broken if it didn't make the game more fun. In certain situations there it literally no point in playing over afking..Payouts were cut in half with 1.9 and they were barely decent before 1.9 the difference between sitting on your ass and doing nothing in this game vs giving it your all isn't even noticeable ...which is why afking is rampant.. People AFKed before 1.9 and they did so because of screwed matchmaking where you have pro stacked squads and q-sync prototype teams killing the experience of pub matches .
If they AFK during FW then they would do the same in a PC match and that says more about the player over the situation it's self .
They should bring back the war-barge in pub matches and give enough time for players to make squads with a total mix of random players instead of allowing ready made squads and q-sync pro teams to kill the randomness of the pub environment so I would leave that up to CCP and there designs on if they want to change and address the real issue and problem with pub matches .
I just believe that you should not see more then three of the same corporation unless it's a starter corp , in a pub match ... that way you don't have to have meta restrictions in a pub match and you keep the random nature of how a pub match should be but many would and do disagree with this idea .
AFKing has more to do with skill disparaging then not getting a huge payment of ISK at the end of a match .
Your misrepresenting the real reasons for those who AFK .

Maybe they will change the system to pay players a bit more but I just think that's still going to favor those who have more to spend and less to loose .
Unless they want to give newer players a six month ISK boost of some sort .
This is just a delicate situation .
This game is in such a fragile state now that a lot of things that are administered really test the balance of this game .
It's really not a stable situation in the least .

Oh I'm sorry I guess your the official rep of all afkers ..then explain to me why afking wasn't a problem Nov 4th if it's got nothing to do with isk .got the best fights in pubs I've ever had that day And most of the people ran prototype , I was there and I seen it and as far as AFKing ... I had people whom I introduced to the game and they would tell me what they thought of the game and the problems that they noticed , so being a rep I'm not but communicating feedback ... I can do .

With DUST, if I don't spend money on the game I'm not really losing out, but if I don't buy every map pack on CoD (which are **** and extremely overpriced) then I don't get to play any new maps. Hmmm. Correct .
So many games follow this set-up and you can spend so much for the game but if you don't spend that additional money your basically buying a skeleton of a game and won't be able to enjoy or experience the full content of the game .
This is a poor business practice in my mind but the people say nothing to the contrary .
