PC isk payouts apparently were changes overnight. These changes include no more isk unless clones die (meaning no isk farming and no payout for no-show pcs) as well as what seems like the losing team receiving half of the Payout that the winning team would normally receive. The average battle for a good pc would payout around 3mil a battle. I've played there PCs today and I won two of them and lost one battle. For all there of these battles I only received 1.7Mil isk And after these games i asked the person on the other side of the board across from me and they received about 1.7mil as well.
I understand removing 1 man farm capabilities, i dont disagree with that and i agree with them receiving salvage as well as a small isk payout for the losing team (maybe about the amount of a high scoring pub match.) Thats understandable.
I however do not agree with taking away the amount of isk the winning to receives nor giving part of the normal payout to the losers nor them receiving a near equal amount.
This has completely remove the competitive drive from pc, this has removed the incentive for doing pc. Pc is supposed to be where you use your best and most expensive gear in order to win and receive a greater payout, meaning high risk and high reward. But now we can, and in fact many players already have plans to launch pc battles and bring bpo, militia or standard gear and fighting pc against others or even each other and playing in which case if we lose we still receive a nice payout and actually add more to our wallets than we would by winning in proto gear.
This is also going to cause the corps of high sp and very exceptional players to wear militia and go bully the small/new corps that try to get into pc, in order to gain more isk. This will result in removing and or discouraging the small corps from being in pc because some of us higher players can definitely stomp those corps in bpo or militia gear and you have removed our reason to take and defend our districts. You will effectively kill pc with this and pc is the only reason most players are still here playing and if you keep this many will quit the game thus killing it further.
Because of this the only thing gained by holding districts is reputation and bragging rights, some people may think that is incentive enough but this thought definitely is not shared by the community as a whole.
Some people will actually lose isk in a winning pc if payouts remain this way. Some people die as much as 15+ times in a winning match running speed hacks, links or logi and such. Average proto suits can ranges in prices from 150k-300k isk per suit... This means for those 15 deaths they have then lost at least 2,250,000 isk and only received that average of 1.7 mil in which theyve lost isk while some lose even more that and vehicles lose much more, a proto tank can cost around 1.5mil and tank operators will lose more than 2 or 3 tanks.
So by actually trying in pc, players are killing their wallets.
What up all
