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

Do I cry? No.

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.

almighty gets 32 kills in a game and dies twice. he gets 500k from the match and loses 400k in suits, 100k profit.
random gets 3 kills in a game and dies 15 times. he gets 175k isk and loses 15k in suits, 160k profit.

THIS is my problem and also a very real example.

There is no problem. If you use Militia gear, you obviously have a lower chance of killing anyone above you, but your loses are minimal if you die. If you want to increase the odds of you killing your opponent/surviving longer and making more money, be prepared to pay the price if you die instead. It's just Risk vs Reward.

The situation right now is 2x the risk is 1.2x the reward.

Don't risk anything you aren't prepared to lose.

That's not the point. To be long term profitable, the increase in reward has to at LEAST match the increase in risk. Simplest example is doubling down. 2x risk, 2x reward. It may be balanced, but is completely counter-intuitive to have infinite run gear not profitable for even a small niche of players.

And?

And?

Why? Who decided running protogear at all times supposed to be long-term profitable?

That's not a very fun reward, especially with how many cheap (read: unavoidable) ways there are to die instantly in DUST.

Prototype gear exists as a high end tool for tanking extra damage, packing on extra modules, etc when you NEED the edge to win big important battles. Why should the END GAME gear be profitable in what basically amount to training battles for new players?

I don't know EXACTLY how well you're doing and how many times you're dying but I certainly agree rewards HEAVILY favor doing poorly in cheap suits.

In my tank I can go 20-0 (in skirmish) with upwards of 1900 points and make 250k. In my Sever logistics I can go 10-3 with 1900 points and make 250k. I can afk in base, go 0-0, and make 100-200k.

Rewards should be increased for increased WP.

I have NO idea what currently decides how much isk you make, but it sure as hell isn't WP.
