For a lot of people it is not. A lot of the balancing is built around that assumption, but no.

ISK is only a balancing factor for the peasants at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder.

Know your place, peasants! This seems to me to be true, assuming I understand the question. I'm relatively new to Dust, having rebooted after about a 9 month hiatus. I have 25M SP, which I think places me somewhere in the peasant pile, maybe squarely in the middle.
For me, ISK controls my gameplay. I have to be cautious about the suits I drop in order to maintain a constant positive cashflow, and save up a bit to invest into bigger suits. I've built and stocked about 15 proto suits with the best gear I can wear on them, but I haven't dropped one yet because I'm afraid it will hurt to lose it.
I can easily see how more established players, free from those concerns, look to factors other than ISK as their "balancing factor", but for me and those in my heap, it's Priority One.

How much ISK you have?

About the same as my SP actually... 25M. I try to keep 50 of each of the suits I like to run in stock, and slowly build up stronger suits while keeping my balance at 25M, which I use to gauge whether I'm staying ISK positive.

I see, I keep stocks at 10 for all my suits. If I run Proto I usually lose/gain 500k a day, if below I can gain 1 million.

I don't know. 25 million SP is quite respectable. Do what I do. Save up for a loyalty suit in a class you run and play Spambush. Imagine the savings!! \o/ |

Only recently I started using some of the salvage and strongbox 'aurum' equipment i've been getting so that helps me save isk and still have some good stuff. I never ran my Proto Gallente scout. Well surprise to me when I discovered I had over 100 Neo GK0s!! They've been accumulating since I started playing. That is now my Proto scout until those suits are gone. |

Isk is a balancing factor?
Umm... Damn it must be soo unfair to use a 7k suit.

Can't even express how important apex suits are, or even bpo gear from packs. I used to make alot of isk running cheap dren suits. If they become sellable i have multiple copies to sell or trade. Now i use alot of apex suits with quafe weapons and mlt bpo high/low slot mods. Sometimes i'll put more expensive things on my bpo suits, but i can still make isk losing them. using bpo suits only i can make 50mil in a day just running pubs. Look for me in ambush, i am almost always running bpo's. Especially against protostompers. as long as the match is profitable for me & i make it costly for my enemy, that defeat screen is not so bad. Save your isk. Buy cheap gear & focus on building sp. That is where real power is in this game. Also if you don't have apex suits i see std bpo suits going for around 10 mill everyday. That can make you isk all day. Don't give up & don't run gear you can't afford. if you are really broke i know it's sin to mention, but RUN LOGI. almost all the logi's seem to be dead, but there is really no better way to make isk. |

Yeah APEX is a great way to make ISK in pubs.
using bpo suits only i can make 50mil in a day just running pubs.
I'm calling BS on that. Even if you made 350K every match, that's 142 matches. 6 minutes a match. For 16 hours straight.
