We don't yet have enough pubstomps. Let's incentivize them!

People like you think more ISK leads to more stomps. I say more ISK leads to better gear the stompers face in a given battle. If minimum pay is the same with or without work, what is the likely action?
The likely action is to leave lopsided matches until you find one which isn't.
"People like me" see stomps as a problem and would rather play solo or in small squads than redline with the enemy and spend 20 minutes bored.

If minimum pay is the same with or without work, what is the likely action? Sorry Shotty, but Thor's right. We more or less go Isk positive in full proto if were in a squad anyways, may as well cost us isk by having to go against suits with 2x the health. If there is more ISK incentive, more players will try to push points, matches will be more fun, and redlining will be reduced.
I'd like to see incentives to win, but we're putting the cart before the horse here. "More pay" will do nothing to address stomps, and players aren't playing because they're tired of stomps. First, fix the problem; fix the stomps. Once Scotty is serving a higher percentage of fair fights, then incentivize winning. Otherwise, we're only incentivizing stomping.
