Uhm, no. It's whatever you want it to be.
For instance, some nights I want to earn ISK. I'm not worried about KDR. I run my BPO and free suits. I am "winning".
But other times I want to raise my KDR slightly. I running better gear for survivability and damage potential. I do better in matches. I am "winning".
Yet other times, I am running support for my team. I run my logistic suits and put down nanohives and drop uplinks. I revive my team and heal when needed. At the end of the match, my current metric is WP. Most of the time when I do this, I end up in the top 5 across both boards. I am "winning".
And yet other times, I'm in a corp battle. Currently ISK is on the line, but eventually it will be Planetary Conquest where isn't not just ISK, it will be clones and land. My focus on the battle is to organize with my team and bring a victory end screen no matter what. This is the time to bring out my best of the best gear. Victory end screen? I am "winning".
Dust is what you make of it. |

You brought that tank to WIN, to SP farm, and/or maybe patch up your KDR, not to gain ISK.
Exactly. I brought my best fit to WIN. To earn hardcore WP. I didn't die in it. I did fantastic. If I wanted to make MONEY I should just sit afk in the MCC. Do you see why this is stupid as hell? Reread the OP, this isn't the argument. The OP is arguing that dying more shouldn't COST more.
But that's CCP's intention. You die, you lose a clone, you lost a set of gear.
Working as intended.
Besides, I intend to bring my protogear into null sec battles. In the mean time, keep bringing your protogear on the battle. I find it funny that people aren't realizing that I am losing 1v1 barely because I'm wearing all militia gear while my opponent is wearing all protogear.
Imagine what I could do to you if I did run protogear.  |

Of course, the rewards for doing poorly should also be extremely low so that "scubs" don't try to take advantage of it. As far as I can tell, you basically just described FW.
Or maybe arenas. I don't know what payouts or details are for that, but I could see that becoming a spectator sport that I would watch. I've seen some of the skill and teamwork of higher skilled players that I have come across to know that I will probably avoid this game mode. I'm decent but nowhere near the 6+ KDR like some people have. 
Heck, I just thought of prizes for a tournament style thing in the arena mode: 1st place gets total suit reimbursement plus prize money. 2nd place gets total suit reimbursement or maybe half of all suits reimbursed... etc...
EDIT: For clarity. Original post didn't make sense. Don't post when tired kiddies. |
