The problem is, if you try to stop a protostomp you go isk negative. It's better for both sides if one gives up, or runs free gear whilst the other stomps. This is bad.
Low reward matches should be meta locked. Better for newer players.
High reward matches should give high enough rewards so that if you fight proto with proto you can still make some isk.
The ultimate reward for wealth should be power in the persistent universe. Buying expensive assets for PC. Hiring mercs to fight for you, etc. At the moment the reward is stomping less wealthy merc's faces into the dirt in boring pub match stomps, which isn't much fun for anyone. |

This is exactly the problem. In a well fought, interesting fight, you should lose 10 suits. |

Not to mention how further off the 'mercenary fighting in Eve universe' idea the devs have strayed off already. Stomping mercs when no one on your team is doing jack **** is quite enjoyable IMO. Redlining them aint, so i use a roden sniper 
Meta lock or not, I would just like a system that encourages conflict in pub matches. Currently the only thing that encourages me to fight in proto gear vs enemies in proto, in pub matches, is a sense of pride. Just the desire to beat them or make them bleed. There's no risk / reward incentive.
I just think we would have more fun battles if there was more incentive to fight.
There, are three main ways to make isk in Dust.
1. Play pubs in cheap gear.
2. Stomp pubs in expensive gear.
3. PC (mainly legacy isk from back when it printed loadsa money).
None of these methods involve enjoyable pub matches, unless you use cheap gear and your opponents are also using cheap gear, or they are significantly worse than your team.
It would be nice to have an incentive to escalate my risk in a pub match to gain the chance of getting a reward when fighting against opponents that have invested a lot themselves.
PC activity should pay well. However there should be better things to spend this isk on than lording it over peasants in pub matches. |
