flegmat tropku Algintal Core Gallente Federation 23	Posted - 2012.10.04 21:50:00 - [1] - Quote Played a few matches today. Started with my planned logi stuff as usual. Got into the fixing/healing business and got 100-500WP a game for healing team mates and then maybe one or two lucky shotgun shots at the enemy. Reward 6k-15k SP and 30k-50k ISK and mostly got off on average 4 deaths so the ISK payout does not cover the lost type I logi fitting I currently have. Got frustrated, went berserk. Played a game with free starter fits, didn't care how many times I died, managed to get close to even 14/15, got 700WP. Reward 9k SP, 40k ISK. So based on this experience, staying alive does not pay and using free starter fits yields better WP/hour and ISK/hour ratios in the end than using the ones that you need to pay for. Now based on this, although this is just a single case, I must ask where is the fun in this game at this point? What are the costly suits good for if you can get better results by just headlessly running around with starter fits without caring whether you die or not? Where are the tactical aspects of this game? Currently, for me at least, staying alive on the battle field and helping my fellow team mates, does not seem very rewarding option or tactic. Previous build had it's flaws, but at least it was fun when I could experiment with different builds and vehicles as the ISK payout was so much better that I had plenty of ISK to fool around with. Now struggling just to stay afloat takes too much effort. We are supposed to be mercenaries and mercenaries fight for money. Currently the money is just not there, so I'm just wondering what the heck we're fighting for.

Did this again..seems to be consistent. 12/15 and some hacking yielded 950 WPs, 10k SP and the ISK.. Just playing with starter triage fit. Really no point buying those pesky expensive suits just run with the free stuff, accumulate ISK to get the skill books, but then really what's the point as you're not going to need those skill points for you're not going to buy the stuff the skills are needed for.
