Then I got to thinking that maybe these people bitching are protostompers who don't want people to be able to afford the prototype gear because it would make the game more difficult for the protostompers.
Any thoughts on this, people?
Protostompers would love an increase in ISK payout, it would make it easier for proto stomping to be lucrative.
People are against an increase in ISK payout because they don't want it to be easier for people to proto stomp by making proto stomping more affordable.

Also, I would like for more people on my team to be able to run proto gear especially during a protostomp. Protostomps right now are usually horrible but they can be a lot more fun if more people had proto gear to use in those situations.
And as I've explained to you, ISK payouts are heavily dependent upon what the other side is using. This is in a way designed to encourage you to fight the enemy with the approptiate amount of force. If the other team is using nothing but standard gear, your payout is going to be poor because you are not destroying a lot of ISK. Therefor you should be using inexpensive gear to remain ISK positive.
If the enemy team is using a lot of proto, killing them will give you a larger payout, so using proto gear will be more sustainable.
You are not entitled to use proto gear in every single match, regardless of how well you do, and remain profitable. If the other team is using a lot of proto gear, you can indeed remain ISK positive. However if you stomp the hell out of people running cheap gear with your proto gear, don't expect to remain positive. Use the amount of force needed to beat the other team, excessive use of force will likely end in you going ISK negative.
This is why KDR should not even be a listed stat, and instead "ISK Lost" and "ISK Destroyed" should be the primary stats displayed in the EOM screen.
And to be honest, what's the most fun for me is 1-shotting guys who feel the need to run proto in pubs with my Militia Plasma Cannon. I can die a hundred times in that suit and still spend less than the guy I killed.

The thing is that payouts have been increasing, thought not directly. Salvage for example can be sold for additional ISK, or used as 'free' gear.
Increase ISK payouts? Sure, but by no means should Prototype be sustainable in pub matches unless you're running near perfect games.
