Alot of people like to be personal mercenaries, not some corporation owned stooge. If i wanted to belong to an military organization i would play a game like Battlefield. Here, I work for myself, and part of being autonomous is that, as an independent contractor, i reserve the right to charge for my services.




Except, this is a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER game, and Im not going to stand behind someone for 20 mins with a rep tool going just so that they have have a better shooter game where they die less. Atleast not for free. Its not fun, its not profitable. However, for a fee, thats a different story.

Cause heres the thing. if im in game and I have absolutely nothing else to do, ok, Chiron logi comes out. But because im doing it on my own time, and reserve the right to pursue a more profitable less risky job at any moment I choose, you dont know when your logi will disappear.

So your whole parasite analogy is wrong, as I dont rely on repping heavies for my survival. Its a choice, not an obligation. And if you want some dedication, you are going to pay for it instead of just counting on me to be a good guy and take losses for you. Im not a damn charity, this is supposed to be a profitable venture in the EVE universe. Profitable for me. Remember that.

I will admit running a Logi is expensive,and takes alot of SP to skill into all of the different equipment areas, but that is the nature of that fitting.Im sure you can find someone to pay for your logi services, but a team player does not. Have been a logi from open beta and will ask the squad im in what they want, usually come in with Amar with uplinks, then switch to Mini for reps, of Gal for scans, all suits have pen and rep (usually double beam).If you are with a good squad/ team everyone makes out. Im able to run proto in Gal,Mini,andAmar if asked. Squad leads don't want to here someone asking about extra playment to do their part, so take it from an old logi and do your job and do what is needed to help your squad, that sould be payment enough.

I always run MinLogi fits, repping, reviving, and resupplying teammates as the moment needs for it. Sometimes I even go through harms way, dying often, only to receive sub-par commendation at best from the EOM rewards. And this is even when I rack up +3000 WP, with a 0/5-6 KDR. Are my risk vs. reward antics worth it? I don't know. Sometimes I can't help but feel like it doesn't.

So is it acceptable to charge a small fee for logistics/medic support for the team? I'm really on the fence about this.

Man are these people entitled to their own self worth.

Last time I checked we were MERCS meaning we have fees for our frontline services.

My friend here is a terrific logi. One of the few TRUE logis remaning and those guys who skilled into a logi suit because they have a squad mate that likes to run Heavy and he saw profitable to be leech and get some WP off of him.

So it is perfectly normal for him to be asking for a small fee

Many of you guys are Eve players right? Don't players in Eve also fees for some of their services?

One of the few?, what game is that and is he you alt?.

K den.

Take it from me my friend, I have been a dedicated Logistics unit since closed beta, and I wouldn't suggest the things I've brought
up on this thread for no good reason. Back in the day we logibros used to be payed well for a job well done in sticking our necks out for the good of the team. But unfortunately those days are long gone, and times are tough.
