Seeing as it seems ones earnings comes from their killing ability, is there actually any point of playing support at all?
I usually go medic, while repairing everything, and reviving along my way, while riding shotgun in squads, but I find that I never get all that many kills with my shotgun, and the in game blinker thing to say that your are earning from repairing is gone, so I don't think I earn from it anymore. |

Since people were abusing the WP gain from repairing, CCP took it away completely for the time being. While it's very disheartening, I don't believe it's any reason to stop playing support. As I heavy, I rely on you guys to keep me alive while I slay enemies coming our way. Whether it's armor repping me or ammo (I shoot ALOT), you guys are still a huge role. Maybe the good feeling of helping your buddies will be enough to keep you supporting us fatties!  |

Oh yea, I've played with a couple others that run mass drivers with logi and it's quite fun. One squad can make great progress on an objective, sometimes easily. |

Uh. Ok. That explains it all. Well I can't buy better equipment off good feelings, but as I am terrible at grunt assault, can't snipe, and cannot into scout and shotgun, and do a better job being a login than heavy, j might as well stock with what do best. |

The problem is that you don't get anything more for winning, unless it's a corp battle. |

+1 on Mass Driver with Logi's. Good times can be had with a squad that won't leave your pokey self behind.
But, it does auto-include a Nanohive for reloads as one of your equipment slots, for good or ill. |

i only play as a logi, but with an assault rifle, and normally score fairly well. i get decent kills as well being the support man i love to be. |

Payout seems partly based on score. Revives, nanohives, and droplinks all give a lot of wp over game. The hacking speed helps get more wp there too. The repair gun was just nerfed for now.
A heavy(or other suit) being repaired as it makes a kill should give assist wp to the repper. I won a few fire fights I wouldn't have due to a logi around corner healing me with repair gun. My first thought was "that logi should have gotten a kill assist for that" Maybe give +25wp if repairing during kill or 2 seconds after being fully healed? |

Yup. I love being a logibro, but They are not worth your time any more. With there cruddy armor and shielding they die super easy. And you make more money by killing. logibros got screwed over this build. Next build will be much better But that will most likely be at the end of the month, or next year.  |

We were looking at payouts the other day.
It seems all the ISK you earn is added to a pool that is distributed using WP at the end of the match..(Note: "It seems")
We entered a match, 3v3 and ended up flying Dropships into the other team. We had them blown up, we hacked and destroyed Installations and got 400k each (Good game.), max WP we had was around 600. Other games where It's been a 16v16 I've only gotten 150-200k even if I'm first with 1500ish WP. So yeah, seems to be a pool and it seems to be split based on WP. |

Logis did get the shaft a bit, but it still can be worth it. I average at least 150k per match, you just have to be good at it. Cruddy Armor and Shields...? I have 193 shield and 317 armor, and thats on the type 1 suit alone-with 2 malitia mods. What's so "cruddy" about that? |

You will get WP gains back for logi soon enough. What you are seeing right now is just a temporary measure from CCP until they figure out a long-term solution for the abuse of the precision strikes that occurred once every minute per match. So don't worry. |
