I'm actually having a really hard time finding out exactly what CCP changed about the PC payout formula, but I'm aware of the general idea:
- It is no longer winner takes all, the loser gets half the pot, or what they destroyed? (disappointing as fuck IMO)
- Killing clones in general no longer generates isk, either manually or through the automatic 150 minimum clone loss for the loser, rendering farming a worthless endeavor (won't be missed) but also basically REMOVING profit from fighting battles (not counting apex suit meat grinders).
- Lag facility out of PC circulation, can't argue with that decision
- Making a profit = NOPE in my experience, doesn't matter how many kills I get, went 37-11 1st place + on winning side vs mostly proto mexican corp in a 111k suit, payout was 1.1 mil, barely went isk negative. But I imagine I made a dent in some latino bank accounts, cuz thats what PC needed to become right? A competition to make the enemy lose more money than you?
So no I'm not informed about current PC mechanics but from what I can tell PC went from a high risk high reward gamemode to what corp battles used to be + timer fights and meaningless wins.
TL;DR first the removal of passive isk = no PC profit, then added in higher payout = some profit. >>>Now reduced payout, making winning entirely irrelevant, and thus PC has become a glorified sandbox pubmode with reduced risk and no profit! Exactly what an already boring ass game needed
PS: can you guys please clarify anything I said that was bullsh*t or anything I don't know about in the form of an insult to my intelligence? please no carebear circle jerk thread

Basically made PC BPO friendlyish and Pubs more of a bloodbath than they already were. Kinda tried fixing something that wasnt perfect and just made it and everything else worse.
I'm 98% likely to better than you at using any gun.

The new formula is complete BS.
Upon announcing it, ccp stated the changes were based on input from major pc players.
No way this is true.
If this helped anyone, it's the new corps.I say this because it makes it a little easier on them as they get started, but not enough to justify this.
attatch a base value to clones killed (half of the old biomass value) to the winner, and the problem will be fixed.
Losers keep what they kill, and winners take an even bigger cut, as it should be.

Supposedly the Black Market Credits will be added as rewards and will make it worthwhile.
On Biomassed Rattati acknowledged that PC corps won't like the rewards until PC 2.0 hits. He simply wanted to stop the farming. Obviously that was a problem for many as the response to it by the CBM largely destroyed any remaining interest in PC.
I guess we'll see, hopefully it comes soon (he said by summertime).
