For example we don't want people permanently running prototypes. This. I am sick of trying to get my friends into this game to have them get proto stomped after the battle academy and they never want to play again. There needs to be a MUCH longer battle academy so new players can get the SP they need to get the most basic HP skills. There needs to be a standard gear mode where we can play when we're pissed off to blow off some steam or for the new players to get used to the maps and try out tactics. No, there doesn't. What's to stop bored "PROTO" stompers from "STD" stomping? The longer battle academy is the right solution for that. But also, all that BS is off topic. This thread is for addressing the pitiful PUB payouts that put this game on the verge of Pay2Win, or more aptly, pay to play. So your against a standard mode for fear of stomping. But larger ISK payouts makes it easier for players to run proto for stomping. I'm afraid I don't follow your inconsistent logic. An STD Gear mode was proposed by Micheal Epic as a solution to new players getting stomped, as a counter-proposal to Stevez just wanting a longer battle academy. Micheal's proposal won't solve anything, because "proto stomping" is less about the "proto" and more about skilled organized squads stomping the crap out of newberries and bad players. I never said I didn't want a standard mode for fear of stomping, I said that a standard mode won't stop stomping, and that segregating players according to battlefield effectiveness and battlefield experience is the correct solution to stomping of any sort. You're conflating the "issue" of proto in pubs with the issue of stomping in pubs, like many other people in this game. But none of that has anything to do with making a living in this game, for Veteran and Newberry alike. If Newberry can be a competent logi in a pub and help their team by dropping equipment and healing, Newberry should get paid. If Newberry gets paid enough to run PROTO, Newberry gets to run PROTO. Problem now is that Newberry can barely make enough to run ADV because payouts DO NOT incentivize victory. So Newberry idles in the MCC, and earns more ISK than if Newberry actually fought to win.

(Remember that we all want balanced matches - which would mean K/D that looks more like 12/10 than 29/2) Is this the Working As Intended? Is pub reward system designed around the idea that players should mostly run basic/militia - and if you run higher than basic you should expect to (over all, not per match) run at a loss/ or at best break even?

Mortishai Belmont G.L.O.R.Y General Tso's Alliance 269	Posted - 2014.12.05 00:10:00 - [34] - Quote The isk payout is just fine in my opinion. I do however believe newer players should be stuck in the academy for a much longer time. Or make a secondary class after they get out of academy. For both their sake and the vets! I know it's gotta suck getting stomped by players in another league and it's bad for the vets when they only have a single squad who can hold a point. But again as far as isk, kinda why there is militia grade and basic grade, and don't tell me you can't get kills in it. My cheap gear has stomped more then enough guys in their proto to prove you wrong c: G.L.O.R.Y Soldier, I'm that Amarr heavy you warn your team about <3 -Heavy/Logi/Assault/Scout-
B-F M Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 75	Posted - 2014.12.05 00:16:00 - [35] - Quote Ryme Intrinseca wrote: ISK payouts should be more proportional to contribution. 30-10 and top of the board in advanced should generally break even. I don't know if we necessarily need to increase the size of the 'pie' so much as slice it differently (e.g. no payout for AFKers and others that don't leave the redline, give their ISK to high WP players instead). I strongly agree with this statement and think that this is the solution that needs to be investigated. The payout proportion should increase exponentially with end-of-game leaderboard standings. What if 1st place got 500K ISK and last place got 500 ISK? Would that motivate players to contribute? What kind of proportion would be ideal? Pros: contribution is rewarded AFKing will be waaaaay shittier (good) players who did a lot but died a lot in the process wont be financially punished (as much) Cons: Players who are trying, but still placing at the bottom will suffer (but tbh, those newberries will suffer regardless) uhh.. potentially, WP boosters will be rewarded? although the +25% if close to objective may negate this Please feel free to improve this pros/cons list, I'm just shooting from the hip here.

Perhaps some price cuts on the advanced gears, and just leave the protos alone for sakes of leaving a protofit out of the reach of most wannabe pub stompers.

Even If Proto gear isn't the main cause of "The Stomps" its a huge cause in both the exacerbation of it, and of making it a great deal easier to do. Correlation is not causation. Yes, the top players in this game were the ones who butted heads constantly during the wars and made a **** ton of ISK. Yes, most of those top players have effectively infinite ISK and will run Proto in pubs all day every day. However almost any squad from OH, TEAM, IMPS, AE, WTF, CAP ACQ, or NYAN could run ADV or STD gear and STILL stomp the ever-living crap out of a bad team running PROTO. Does the Proto gear make the stomping worse? Yes, marginally. But losing is losing whether it's by 10 clones, 20 clones, 5 ticks or 10 ticks. Bad players will always lose against those players and the gear won't make an appreciable difference. An NBA team wearing sandals will always stomp a High School team wearing $500 sneakers, and that's that. But let's say you wanted to run Proto gear, or even ADV gear, and you weren't one of those top players, and you never got in on the ISK? The current situation is this: TOO BAD. And that's a problem that needs immediate attention. BAN ADVANCED GEAR FROM PUBS \| Mass Driver Advocate

For example we don't want people permanently running prototypes. Then there is no point in making tiered items where only certain players gets the best things, and the best things have no limitations or balancing factors. My Isk payout gets lower and lower the more I play, even though I'm getting better. Smells like success.
Thor Odinson42 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 5374	Posted - 2014.12.06 03:14:00 - [42] - Quote DeadlyAztec11 wrote: It doesn't need to be changed. It has worked fine for more than two years. Why should we change a system that is not broken? I'd prefer people putting up a fight and be willing to step up their gear and continue to push. They could double payouts and it would make matches 10x as fun. People run proto a lot anyway, certainly the best players do in great numbers. Increasing the payouts allows people currently only able to afford STD suits to continue pushing to increase their level of gear to ADV or possibly proto. Not having ISK leads to people giving up quickly and boring matches. The best players have lots of ISK. Do the ******* math! I wish my avatar was Minmatar.

I was talking to one of my friends that I have introduced to Dust around 1.5 years ago and even though he would probably have enough SP to be competitive now, he just won't join again, and frankly, I don't blame him.

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 5669	Posted - 2014.12.06 11:10:00 - [47] - Quote ISK payouts are a joke. They are entirely dependent upon how expensive the gear is that your enemy is fielding. It has nothing to do with your effort. There is no significant reward for really trying. All of the decent payouts in pubs come when the enemy loses rafts of proto suits, modules or they lose many tanks. Your individual effort and contribution to victory mean jack all. There is no significant difference in the top slot on the winning team versus the losing team unless someone got proto happy. The rewards system is the most poorly thought out, and unrewarding system I have ever seen in any game. The fact that your paycheck in match is dependent upon your enemy being less risk averse is absolutely daft. EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

It's really no different, you have a bunch of people not doing **** because they can do nothing and make similar income. People that PC would be pushing to keep payouts low if their stance was driven by competition. Veteran PC players can keep their thumb on the masses as long as the payouts stay low.

The payouts don't seem to be tied to ISK destroyed to me. It has to do with the amount of clones killed by both sides and the gear used, we just get a percentage of the total isk destroyed. Every clone has a set value, as does their gear and vehicles. The final part is your War Point contribution. For example, I get 5k WP and 1rst place in an all out proto stomp by both teams, game ends with both sides having about 10 clones left. In this scenario it is not uncommon for me to get 800k + in isk and 10k SP for my 5k WP contribution. Second place WP on my team only put up 2800 WP, their pay out will be around 500K Last place with 600 WP will get something like 225k Rough numbers but there is a big fall off in pay if there is a huge discrepancy in the WP contribution of team mates. One guy gets 2-3k more than 2nd place his pay is often nearly double that of that of the 2nd or 3rd place player. Last place with 25wp can often pay only 50-90k isk and rightfully so... TL:DR Clones Killed Value + Total Gear Value divided by CCP "Concord" tax = Total Isk Payout Pool Payout Pool divided by War Point value % = Pay out per WP The math is much more complex than that, but that is the basics of it. A few other variables such as TIME in match also contribute a bit to your SP and ISK payout... http://caughtyouflinching.ytmnd.com/

What? Seriously, what? A person making $15/hour should want to see an increase to minimum wage? That's incredibly ignorant of how economics works -- raising the minimum wage in theory would only help those that are currently making the minimum (even then, that's only if the increase can offset the increased cost of goods that would result, which is unlikely) whereas everyone making above minimum wage would see their spending income decrease due to the higher price of goods and services.

This keeps new players from wanting to play because even the illusion of parity is impossible in the current system EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

It's very annoying to have a hard fought battle where you spend isk and effort, and only make 3 times the isk and be overall less isk efficient than an afk loser. I think we need to push more money towards the top of the leaderboards and give the winning team some sort of large winning bonus. I think this along with good matchmaking would be the recipe for revitalizing pubs.

Something like 50-100% more ISK in the pot for the winning team, and tune the hypothetical payout curve more aggressively towards the top of the leaderboards.
