If payouts were to be increased, what are some ways of going about it? I don't mean to put anyone of the spot with "you can't think of something, well it shouldn't happen!" but I am curious what would be a good place to put isk amounts so competent players can run prototype without having to have an excessive nest egg to begin with.[/quote]
This is a post I wrote up a while back in a different thread. I figured it is worth another look/different eyes on it. I just hate when I'm getting spawn camped and trying the entire match, but go like 4-12 with 300 WP, and get 45k ISK as a payout (I never said I was great at this game).
THE NUMBERS ARE JUST OUT THERE FOR DISCUSSION'S SAKE. Feel free to offer alternatives.
Here is something I've been kicking around for a while. Set it so each "position" on the end of match killboard has a set ISK amount of 120K. Then use a multiplier with WP to come to a total figure.
As long as one of the 2 parameters are met (a total of 4 kill/death (any combination) or 250 WP), you get paid. If none of those are met, then the person is obviously AFKing and deserves no payout.
Then take the individual's WP's and multiply them by "x" and then multiply that with the total payout. For example, for an Ambush match, I'll use .0025. I am on top of the board after the match and I get 1500 WP. We take 1500 WP X .0025 = 3.75. 3.75 X my first place baseline payout of 120k = 450000
Anyone who has less than 400 WP would go into the negative, so their payout would be less than their basepay. So we set it so basepay is the MINIMUM anyone will be paid as long as the parameters are met.
If the top player goes apeshit and puts up 4000 WP or more, that is where we have some issues that need to be worked out.
We have 4000 x .0025 for 10 X 120k is 1.2 Million ISK. However, we are not seeing 4000 WP put up in Ambush (Normally).
So what I would do is adjust the multiplier on the type of match. Ambush are the quickest so they will not have as high WP totals as a Dom or skirmish. So for Dom and Skirm, we change the multiplier to say .0015.
4000 WP * .0015 is 6 x 120k is a 720,000 ISK payout. Right in what I believe is a sweet spot. Not too ridiculous but enough to make it worth the person's while.
Those matches where you have one person putting up 6000 WP is cracking a million at 1,080,000
At 8th place for 875 WP (in Domination or Skirmish), we are talking 157,500 payout at a 120k baseline. In Ambush that is a 262,500.
Again, those are just #'s I threw out as a conversation starter. If we want to adjust the baseline up or down, or the multiplier scores, we can. If we want to lower it down and then add in something for time in match, I'm up for that, too.
