People will say if you are using expensive gear that should you are running the risk of losing it in favor or doing better and getting paid more or something like that. Right now it's not true at all, if you do a public match from start to finish you will get somewhere in the ball park of 200,000 ISK regardless of how good you did. If you do really good you may get around 300,000 but if you die once or twice it doesn't matter. Not worth the risk at all.

And corporation matches are all a waste of ISK for bragging rights. I see people run protosuits fully geared up, costing at least 100,000 ISK a pop. The most pay out you get is 900,000 ISK, so collectively die 9 times and there is no profit to be gained, if the corp was in it for the ISK they'd just have their 8 guys go militia gear in public matches and get 8 x 200,000 ISK = 1,600,000 ISK in the same amount of time.

It is assumed CCP will have better ways to get ISK later on.

Going into a pub match, and having everyone run gear that is above Militia/ standard gear will give a much higher pay out at the end of a match. The reason why payouts are staying in the bare minimum of 200k is because no one will run anything above militia gear, or standard gear. You're all screwing your selves over from gaining massive pay outs of 600k- 1 million + BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SCARED TO LOSE THE MORE ADVANCED GEAR.

I'm not too scared to run expensive gear, but I know everyone else is running militia gear so why bother? I usually spawn in as my expensive suit to start things out, than notice on the kill log everyone is using militia in which case I find a supply depot and switch, I want gain extra cash if I'm the only one.

Poor gameplay imo...regardless of the gear 200K is more than enough to cover most fittings. But why when you'll get the same for running militia (assuming everyone else is as well, as mentioned above).

I don't, I use my expensive gear, never saved up more than 5 million before using most of it. Just saying for those whose goal is to save up ISK there is no reason.

Actually it's quite the opposite. Using militia gear will get you out of any of the bad habits that you might be able to get away with using better gear. If you can learn to be good with militia gear, you do a lot better when you switch to advanced and prototype gear.
