They have already told us how ISK is payed out.. during closed and open beta, they have stated how ISK is payed out at the end of a match. in fact (Dec. 2012): https://dust514.com/news/blog/2012/12/war-and-profit/

Quote:

A portion of the reward pool for each battle depends on the value of items destroyed in the battle. If the battle saw countless vehicles and expensive prototype gear destroyed, everyone is in for bigger rewards. ISK rewards are calculated as follows for each participant:

Base rewards GÇô Every mercenary receives basic compensation for each battle they fight. The size of the reward depends on the time you spent fighting, so joining a battle late will net you lower earnings. Value of objects destroyed in battle has no bearing on this part of the reward.

Team rewards GÇô The total rewards calculated from the value destroyed are split between the participating teams, with the winning team earning a larger share. Then, each participant earns a cut of the total rewards that their team received based on the time they spent in the battle. If youGÇÖre late to the party, youGÇÖll earn a smaller cut.

Individual rewards GÇô Finally, every participant receives a reward based on their individual contribution on the battlefield. Mercs earn war points based on their actions in the course of each battle, and the more war points you score, the higher your cut of the total payout.

They have on several occasions explained how ISK rewards are payed out. It's no secret how the ISK is payed out. The only thing that has changed is how much ISK (has gone up and down during beta) is actually given out. There is no speculation or guessing, it's already stated how it works.

Unfortunately, that doesn't give us hard numbers to work with, only a description of the process. The "has gone up and down during the beta" part of your explanation is the problem. They haven't given - and won't give - hard numbers, because the numbers are being changed.

There is no 1 single number. it's a mixture of numbers to get your reward. I can go into battle A and get a 300k payout, where as in battle B it is a 100k payout. Difference could be in gear lost, how long I was in battle, etc... there are a varying range of ways your ISK payout can be altered. They could give us numbers like: Base payout: 100 per second spent in-game - paid to each individual on completion of contract. Team rewards: Total ISK value of items destroyed goes into the pot. 60% to winners, 40% to losers, individual payouts adjusted for time spent in-game. Individual rewards: 1000 ISK per WP. Obviously, I just pulled those numbers out of nowhere, but they could break it down like that. They haven't, they don't, and they probably won't, because they're still adjusting these values to find a fair and balaned level. Also, when they change things, all they're currently saying is that the values of changed, NOT what they were, or what they are now.
