Fix the lag, and players will stay. I'm not afraid of any player in this game. I'm afraid of lag.
The idea that you guys want players to stay in a match, and lose isk continually, is beyond me. If the match would atleast start 16 v 16 you'd see more willing participants. When it starts 8 v 14 why should the 8 stay? Is there a larger reward for being massacred? No? Well until there is, stop asking players to go isk negative for no reason at all.
You know what else I see very little of in pubs that will definitely make a player want to leave? Links, ammo, and ........... fire support! I been banned several times so I can't cuss like I always want to?!
Players in this game have a singular focus to their playstyles, and why shouldn't they? Payouts don't match gear usage whatsoever! The price on a proto logi to bring superior support to the field is enormous! You select that 200k+ fit, to help your team, and lag against a wall while some newb with a modded controller puts all 85 rounds out of six kin into you?! Do it once, and that match is a loss whether you win or not?!
PC payouts got even lower because no one ever gets enough equipment destroyed to make over 1.5 mil apparently?! I swear we destroy tons of gear in every engagement, but whatever. The pubs is, and has always been, the eve universes equivalent to the temp service?! I've advocated for cheaper prices on gear, and CCP did change some things. However, with payouts being foreverse low we need to pay 15k tops for a proto rifle.
For a proto suit, rifle, mods, and equipment on an assault variant dropsuit you average around 150k roughly. Die once, and that whole pub is a isk loss?! The average payout ranges from as low as 75k to up around 300k. When I play extremely hard, and throw away 1.5 mil, I might break 4 to 500k at the most.
Do I really need to bring up tanks, and dropships? How quick we ground troops are to complain about not having vehicle support in pubs, but who's paying for it?
I get this foolish response from players all the time, "take some risk", but they've got 3 logis behind them with officer weapons lol!
With the new PC changes coming, tons of potentially new content on the way, and.... (this I'm praying for) a fix for the lag! It would be a shame for this trend to continue as you describe it, and I have experienced it. However, this will continue until players can actually make isk.
While the playing the game, and prospering financially, should be an uphill struggle. It should not be complete hopeless despair?! Prices for gear should come down across the board, or payouts for battles should be raised. Until then I can't complain about snipers in military fits, bpos, or redline tankers. They have to manage their wallets the best they can.
