Punished for poor economic sense. Protosuits aren't meant to be sustainable, dying at all will slow down your ISK growth rate.

Maybe spend some more on higher-end modules or something... that might help.

Dust 514. But only with idiots dumb enought to run proto every game.

Earning ISK in ambush is much more easy. Since the matches are usually short, the game takes the amounts of WP and Kills you have made and focuses it on ISK, or thats how I think it works.

If you run around with the Millitia AR, you can easily take down scouts, bad-fitted logistics, weak heavies, and other normal assaults, thats how it woks with MAR + Farming.

eve.

They are pub matches and are not meant for you. Or at least not meant for you to play in proto gear.

Actually i think it is pretty well designed from a game standpoint.

You cannot get rich farming Barrens in World of Warcraft and you can't get rich messing around in the Eve starter areas. This is pretty basic MMO design. Why should Dust be any different?

Ignoring the fact that you act handle your money, how is this a problem? Aggression should be unpunishable?

Bro, I dont know why you are whining about your bad economy, that you cant sustain proto suits even if you kill 3000 mercs in the process, blah blah blah.

But no matter what, the ISK will be partially always the same. Today I won a match with 2500 WP and got exactly 300.000 ISK.
If you cant farm ISK with MAR its because you dont want to or because you need a duvolle on your hands to do work.

Economy is fine. This post its like seeing somebody cry about being unable to restock 4 tanks at the same time.

Why shouldn't you? You're dying more, get better at the game.

THEN WHAT IS THE FREAKING SENSE OF THIS WHOLE POST FFS!

I don't see how those two things are relevant. If you can't make ISK with your dropsuit loadout, you need to either tweek the suit or change your gameplay.

Believe me when I say that the following isn't meant as an insult: This isn't Call of Duty, blindly charging forward to pad your KDR isn't the default way to play. As you've pointed out, your teammates have figured out how to improve, follow their lead and get better at THIS game rather than playing it like a different game and expecting the results you get in that other game. Slow down and think more about your ISK.

His point is that rewards are not proportional to performance. Instead they are flattened by bringing the top down. IRL the curve goes the other direction, which makes this further unintitive.

But this does not appear to be backed up with any factual information.

The metrics by which you determine "performance" will change whether or not the rewards are proportioned properly. When wearing expensive gear, one important performance metric is NOT DYING, assuming you are concerned about your ISK.

Welcome to new Eden... see if you can keep a 10.5 k/d using a type-II or better yet fill out a BPO Raven Type-1 Suit.

They are proportional to his performance, he died in a protosuit, he lost money. If he had died in a militia suit he would have lost less money.

He's complaining that he isn't gaining ISK at a fast enough rate, dying less would increase that rate.

Almighty gets 32 kills and earns 500 K ISK for that match, he also died once.
Random gets 30 kills and earns 400 K ISk, he didn't die.

Almighty got more ISK, but he now has to replace his 200K fitting, so he really only gained 300K for that match. He knows what he has to do to increase his ISK gain rate, die less, but he's being stupid and instead complaining for no reason.

If I don't have infinitely high KDR ratio for some 5-7 matches in a row I go negative.

Do I cry? No.

its elementary school here

your going to get rewarded for showing up, everyone gets a ribbon

do well.. well you get a slightly better ribbon but not by much because then the people with the I participated ribbon would feel bad


I feel you almighty but lets be honest your pretty much stealing candy from babies why do you need a weapon in hte first place just go melee them all

Challenge accepted. We both make new characters, use our 300k worth of skill points, then fight using only Militia gear.

This won't be a problem, right? I mean, it's not like your proto-suits and skill points were compensating at all for your skill.

Own, Are you pubstomping with proto and you're losing muney...? I think I'm gonna cry...

Seriously.

This is just stupid. You are not being punished for being aggressive, you are being punished for being stupid.
Its different. Learn the difference.

I hope to kill you in-game to get that delicious suit of yours to give my team some extra ISK in the end.
You do know that the Isk you make is related to the damage you caused, ISK wise, don't you? If you don't, then you don't even deserve to wear that black suit of yours.

In other words, getting your precious K/D ratio that high, costs you because you are ruining new players fun.

(This thread is sad. Lets make a minute of silence for our poor comrade that is not able to make money by pubstomping...
NOT.)

Seriously? 7-15 with militia gear? And you're saying you can do stuff with them?
My pubmatch suits costs around 5k ea. I usually go 15-2/18-4. When the game is really bad I usually get 10-10/12-11.

I think you are joking about this whole thread, its just not possible.


Live long and prosper.
