They don't play FW, which I recently started playing more of. They don't play PC, and I can't blame them with the lag?! They don't play worth a hill of beans in the pubs, but again I can't blame them. The payouts for effort is too low?!
If the payouts in the pubs actually matched the effort put in, maybe players would put in work. Currently tons of players see competition, and stop fighting to conserve isk. It leaves your team beaten by default?!
Often you're forced to wait a match out in the mcc, die solo and pointlessly, or leave because the team you're on isn't fighting, bringing links, or much of anything else.
The teams in FW do fight so I fight there.
In PC lag determines the outcome more than gun skill or tactics.

The payouts in pubs do match to effort. If you are beasting in pubs you are making more than the other guys on your team.
But that's not all the payouts are matched to - they're heavily based on the isk invested in the match. That means if you bring proto gear to a pub you're paying the enemy more isk. And if they bring militia gear you're getting less isk.
These impacts on payout balance each other. But because you don't always see how much the other guys (red & blue) get paid, you may have a misperception of what's fair and not fair.
PUBs are not for competition. FW and PC are for that. PC much more so.
And Vader's-Fist is here to make that more of a reality than you've recently perceived it to be.
We are bringing a war to Molden Heath like none other. Not a war of alliances, not a series of land-grabs. It's VF vs everyone who would resist change.
Be on the right side of change. Because change is coming.
Skill in battle will draw more members than your incessive campaigning for a lost cause ever will....
That said, I wish you luck on this lost cause.
As far as payouts go, I would suggest a small percentage increase overall. Me deciding to run proto shouldn't be looked down upon. Neither should attempting to win. How in the **** do you guys have fun losing? If we lose a battle it should never be without a fight! That's the fun in it, in my humble opinion! Isn't that why everyone gets in a fight?.... or is that just me
I don't care if you run militia, but for f*** sake run it like a man!
If a player decides to run higher end gear to win, but his enemy decides to run cheaper gear. How the hell is that the 1st guys fault? Sounds like he came prepared to me! He should also be compensated handsomely for services rendered! Especially if he performs well! If I run basic, and go 23/12/3, I should get paid! The enemies died! I don't care what they were rocking *shrugs*
We fight all that time to get to proto gear, only to run militia? Claiming "oh I play casual"? Oh you casual when there's stiff competition on the other end huh?
I digress. My friends have told me I tend to rant....
I personally feel there should be a log on players.... a mark of sorts by their names indicating their tenacity in battle, or lack there of. Not that rank bs, that's just aurum spent?!
Yellow should indicate a high level of battles abandoned lol!
This wouldn't be applicable because of so many factors ofcourse, but isn't it easier to play something else where you can troll around doing dumb ****?
Skyrim is awesome!
At the rate of payouts currently we should all run militia in the pubs?! Guys would still get whacked, and then be advocating for teams staying in the redline smh?!
I remember first playing this game with militia and then basic fits! It was a dogfight to just get out of the redline some matches in those days, but if they let me get a foot in I made em pay! That basic AR became a Gek-38! Those basic armor mods became advanced with reps! Team tactics grew, and I found myself in every ******* corner scrapping til the point was lined with bodies all around, mine included! Those days seem to be long gone now because the ones that still fight hard, are left to die on the field while the rest of their team watches smh?!
Even with the incessive lag in PC atleast it's a fight when I go in! For me that's the whole point of playing! To fight, not dominate. I have no fool notion that I will just dominate others, and honestly if it became that way I'd probably stop playing lol! I'm here for the bloody knuckles, split knees, and splinters in my hands!
Fight or flight reflex! It's when your natural instinct kicks in, and you make that natural decision to stand up, or sit down. To fight back, or runaway. I'm here to have fun, but my definition of fun makes soft guys find excuses, and pretty girls curious!
When you get tired of the redline hit me up, I've got enough backbone for the two of us!
Sorry for ranting...
