Why are we trying to get snipers and tank drivers and everyone down into the battle? You do realize everyone doesn't play assault right? Everyone has a different view on classes that take skill vs. classes that don't. Personally, I don't think playing assault takes skill, let me spray a wall of bullets at you, not really aiming, not really caring, until you die because I just held the trigger down for the last 15 seconds. I don't want to play that way, if that is what the game becomes Ill gladly go play something else. So saying to make losing hurt more to get snipers to not play a sniper role, or tank drivers to not drive a vehicle is BULLSHIT. Everyone may not want to play like you. |

People that have these you shouldn't be paid if you lose opinions apparently don't live in the same world the rest of us do. I really gotta talk to my travel agent about going to happy world land.
Let's look at this from a real world perspective for a minute. You hire someone to attack anywhere, you're gonna pay them money up front. They aren't gonna go be shot at without some money up front. Now if they lose, naturally you don't have to pay them again because they are dead, and you won't hire them again because they are dead. We don't respawn in real life last time I checked.
Now if they go and "win" whatever scenario you hired them for, you're gonna pay them the rest you agreed upon, or they are liable to kill you as well. So you'll pay, either the money or your life, a true merc doesn't care.
As far as the game goes, if I was running a corp, Id tell you the fee before I agreed to help you, and Id expect half up front. Now since we respawn in this game, sure I may not expect the other half if we lose, but yeah you're at least gonna pay half. I assume most corps will take this stance or a similar one. Because regardless of winning or losing, Im still spending money fighting for you. So you got to at least cover those initial losses. That just makes sense.
So no the losers should still gain isk even though they lost, but they shouldn't receive as much as the winning team. Simple as that, now as for salvage I don't really care who gets that, and SP should be on an individual basis.
