no just no..... I'm pullin out 200k isk on a good match but I'm also losing a lot of that if I am running a non full BPO suit. I think the isk rewards are just about right.

Really, Im getting nearly half a million SP for some of my good games.

Without the extra isk, we can't exactly try out the best fittings in battle all the time.

I would love to throw an expensive suit out there and see how it runs at least a couple times during a match, but I know that if I die in my 150k suit twice I'll lose profit that round.

What you're asking for is an ISK barrier for item usage, it sounds like.

There is only one problem with ISK barriers. They hurt brand new players and buff established ones. Titans in Eve are the best example of this. CCP created something that was insanely powerful and 10x bigger than the previous largest ships in the game. But they made them super exspensive, thinking that would make them rare. A couple years later, these ships are commonplace and 'everyone' has one.


Making things expensive or having rewards be low is not a good way to artificially restrict use of items.

Really, Im getting nearly half a million SP for some of my good games and thats using suits that are less than 50k.

I call BS on that

Same. I got 17 kills and 1500 war points in a match. ISK reward? 250K. Total BS man.

Oh dear do you have any idea how expensive a full proto suit is? Obviously not. I get between 200-300k ISK (usually 1st or 2nd place on my team) per match. Its not to much its allright how it is at the moment. After all only the highest ranked players get a very good payout to keep the extreme expensive stuff running.

first of all I think you are full of **** with the 500k ISK payout.In CODEX when people were farming orbitals I say a guy make 9685 WP yes warpoints and go 53-0.I asked him how much ISK he got to which he replied 376 thousand....second of all there fine.If you have a surplus of cash then run VK proto every match.

Too much ISK is a bad thing - no incentive for ppl to band in corps and play together to survive since loadouts are dirt cheap and loosing a game with a terrible KDR is ok. I think CCP may be doing the cheap isk reward on purpose to test some balancing issues to increase access to higher tier equipment that otherwise would not be tested

isk rewards are finally perfect. i had made threads on codex about them being so low that i was spending too much aurum to play. i know get good blah blah blah. but my kdr is positive and if the game costs me more than 20 aur a month i just wont play it and keep my eve sub too so i am sure others with a lower kdr than me were having a harder time than i was. by the way i run type2 and A series suits or militia when i have used up more than about 3 suits so its not because i am trying to run proto every match.

CCP keep isk like this its still a challenge but its also such now that i dont have to decide to play or not based on aur consumption.

by the way when you are telling me to get good keep in mind i am consistently amoung the top part of the after match leaderboard so i think my performance is acceptable. I remember matches in codex with 17 kills 10 deaths multiple hacks and getting only 118,000 isk which was way too low for that performance in my opinion and now the isk payout for that type match is much better this build so i say keep it the same.

They are balanced. Try running a 100k ISK Heavy in a game. One death and your alreay harely making a profit. 2 deaths and you go negative...

There is now little challenge in the game since ISK rewards have been increased.

You shouldn't be able to have the best fittings all the time. Right now we are susposed to be in Highsec which should be the least lucrative space in the game, yet I and so many others can field high end gear without much issue. How are the rewards going to help out any new players if they get crushed by the people who can actually make ISK while running proto gear?

Unfortunately, I am unsure how the isk rewards are actually distributed. If the gear you field has anything to do with it (I think the recent devblog mentioned that) then there should be a cap on how effective it is so people running high end gear don't hog all the rewards.

He mustve been playing the asia HK event. I noticed the more people you kill with proto gear the higher your isk reward is. I just finished a game in the HK event with lots of ag001 and so on players (hk testers with full proto gear) and I kid you not, I only went 18 - 2 and I got over 780+ thousand isk.

On average, in regular instant battles I get around 180-200++ isk. In the HK events I get around 300-400 isk.

If we're talking about isk rewards in regular games 100-200k isk is not even enough to cover around 4 deaths of only advance level gear. In my opinion, its fine enough as it is. You are forced to save your isk and be more mindful of what dropsuit you use in game.

I will stab you in the face.
