Isn't knowing how to manage your expenses and income without a fancy readout kind of a general real-life skill that everyone should have? |

I think most people old enough to have their own bank account can do calculations like that in their head. If you think basic general subtraction in your head is too difficult, then those kinds of people should not be playing this game. Sorry, but CCP isn't going to add a "Think For Me" button to the game. I mean hell, there is more thought involved in making a fitting for a suit, should we have the game just make loadouts for us as not to hassle "casual" players with that math too? |

Sorry, but CCP isn't going to add a "Think For Me" button to the game. So why is your gained ISK shown at the end of the game and not a straight transaction in to your account? Simplicity does not have to be dumbed down, jesus.
Because when you get a paycheck it tells you how much you're getting paid? It doesn't include how much you spent on gas to get to work or the expense of buying lunch. For that you go look at your bank statement which shows a list of dated entries of money going in and out of your account. Granted that latter bit isn't in DUST yet but it will be as its a big part of the EVE system.
In addition, because prices will fluctuate with the free market, the exact cost of what you lost will constantly be changing. When it calculates your losses is it at the price you bought it at? Or the current prices? Current prices for your region, or a universal regional average? Maybe you used 15 of something but only 10 are available at the lowest price, which price do you use? What about salvaged items that you found and didn't buy? Calculating an exact cost is going to be impossible because the "economy" is stupidly dumbed down right now and not connected to the EVE system yet. Would your idea work now? Sure, but as soon as prices hit the open market, it would be impossible. |

So you want the server to record the purchase price of every individual item you purchased? |

OMG WE CANT HAVE THAT! TOO MUCH THINKING!
EDIT: Actually, doesn't the end battle screen give you a wallet total? If so, then really nothing needs changing at all. |
