I find daily missions and the loot crates provide me with gear that saves a whole ton of ISK which makes public matches surprisingly profitable.
Yesterday I put 30 prototype combat rifles on my commando, 30 rifles I never purchased, which should last at least 6 games knowing how much I die.
My ADS is stocked up also with around 30 prototype launchers, not purchased by me either.
I go to fit up suits, and there are tons of salvaged mods and equipment that end up saving me a few games worth of ISK.
Then there's also raw salvage to sell which usually covers a game's losses.
And now the warbarge dropping 60k ISK a day, that's another game covered.
Give the protobears any more ISK from pubs and they won't have to run PC to stomp all day.

Proto shouldn't be regularly run there TBH. 200,000 is enough for some decent advanced fittings. The average decent advanced fit is 40-50k with nothing proto on it. That leaves for 4 deaths until you start going negative. Increased payout will balance itself out because everyone will be able to run their best and afford to push objectives and play aggressively while making a profit. i think matches would be alot better like this.
Initially this makes sense, but then again, it should to us sitting here talking about increasing ISK payouts with 30m+ SP under our belts, minimum.
Now, we flood newbies with more ISK, maybe they can afford skill books faster. Forgotten what it's like to buy your skillbooks with no ISK, getting protostomped every match along the way?
So they get skill books. Then there's still the grind to get SP for all the "best gear" that ya'll vets assume everyone already has unlocked. That'll take dozens more matches getting protostomped by us.
THEN they spec into something decent. A solid ADV fit, assuming they're the rare newbie who actually doesn't mind getting his/her face ground into the dirt over and over and makes it to that point. They have some ISK, they can start running those fits, they can start killing protobears! "Surely killing them 1-2 times will force them to give up prototype gear for that match and start running ADV gear.", so they think.
But no, they now can AFFORD to keep protostomping, and will gladly do so, because I haven't seen much selflessness anywhere in New Eden and I doubt there's going to be a miraculous exception now.
Sorry gents but all I have is the game's future in mind, and that means new players wanting to play. My logic is above, if I'm wrong feel free to shut me down, a good debate keeps my mind sharp.
