I don't believe I've ever seen a game that gave out equal rewards to the winning and losing sides. Maybe if they gave people an incentive to actually win the match, we'd have less garbage matches where the enemy team just sits on a tower or in the red line and snipes the entire game, beginning to end? Every match I've played today has been like this. |

I thought there was some kind of "contract bonus" or something?

By the way, my boosters run out today and there is no way I am spending another penny on this game until I see some real effort to address issues like this one. Add the super shield recharge bug that's been going on for 2 months to that list. While you're at it, add in non functioning AV grenades. And invisible players. And players not rendering while looking through turret sights. And players shooting through walls. Etc, etc. |

Whatever that is, it is too minuscule to notice, and doesn't make up for the isk you save by not dying sitting on a tower. The only way to make people care is an SP bonus. |

If you do better you get more ISK, it sounds like when you lose you probably get significantly more WP then the rest of your team so you get more ISK. While when you win, more of your team does better so the pay is more spread out. |

Its not more profitable to lose, its just people not wanting to lose ISK in a match that is already lost --
It is not fun nor fair to allow the winning team to completely camp the enemy spawns and suck at the teet of spawn kills. The opposing team does not OWE you there deaths. You are not entitled to them.

I think it is funny that when my team loses and I am still 2nd or 3rd overall for WP that I am being paid very well for essentially shepherding the bluedot lambs to the slaughter.
Go ahead, go die little bluedot sheeple. |

Just stop, you want to punish a player for losing. Who do you do work for the freakin government? One player cannot turn the tide on any battle, its freakin impossible. If the other side is stacked and working as a team and they are playing some good players but there gear is not on the same level and there not running squads they are going to lose. That is why half of your team is either AFK or being a sniper. They are just trying to do what is best for them, you cant get upset because they refuse to play by your rules. This game has enough problems to make people quit, let them be and deal with it. Until the game is fixed, and people can have fun, this will be an ongoing issue. Stop trying to be a Dust general and just deal with it and find ways to have fun. |

Its not that hard to understand
"fight for me we will give you X amount of Isk"
You fight and get X amount of Isk, that is how contracts work
If you die, less of that isk will actually translate into profit
Once we get player contracts they will pay more money to those who are known winners, but if said known winner has a poor game he still gets the contract money but his reputation might get damaged. |

First things first, the risk vs. reward + time involved at the controller is ludicrous for AFK farmers
I understand what your saying, its not about punishing people for loosing. Its about rewarding the team that wins more significantly than the players that do nothing. If ISK were based off of WP or rank in a game it would make things much more interesting.
Basing it on rank for example, if there are 16 players on your team and those players must split 4.125 mil ISK so:
- 500,000 ISK
- 475,000 ISK
- 450,000 ISK
- 425,000 ISK
- 400,000 ISK
- 375,000 ISK
- 350,000 ISK
- 300,000 ISK
- 250,000 ISK
- 200,000 ISK
- 150,000 ISK
- 125,000 ISK
- 100,000 ISK
- 75,000 ISK
- 50,000 ISK
- 25,000 ISK
Yes you could lower it so first place gets _ _ _,_ _ _ ISK and it drops from there, but this gives a reasonable starting point.
Or basing it on War Points would give less specific numbers but they would be more closely tailored to what you did in each match. Here is one example of an Aprox value for WP, yes it scales and isn't a direct ratio: 3000 WP = 1000,000 ISK 2500 WP = 800,000 ISK 2000 WP = 600,000 ISK 1500 WP = 400,000 ISK 1000 WP = 200,000 ISK 0500 WP = 150,000 ISK 0250 WP = 100,000 ISK 0100 WP = 50,000 ISK 0000 WP = 0 ISK
With either of these or the current system if a +25% for winning and a -10% on ISK earned (there is no reason to do it for SP) in a match winning would become much more important to people. There would still be the people that AFK farm for ISK because they can make ISK and SP with 0 effort.
A simpler solution would be to kick people who are in the redline for more than 3 minutes.
Simple solution that gets rid of the ISK farmers camping in the MCC the entire match. It also stops redline snipers and a lot of other issues with the redline. Kicking them also gives no ISK. |

1st He can get upset and obviously is, Its understandable.
2nd The A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. guys could run their proto gear in pub matches and change the tide of a single battle. And they have.
3rd This isnt a "punish the loosing side" thread its "there is no incentive to win" thread.
You should also know that the proper server for AFK farming is the Oceania server... Let the people on the other servers play a real game. |

I said simpler, not necessary better. Three minutes is a LONG time in this game, you could make it 3 min if you hold at least 34%% of the objectives, (which means you would need 2 in a 3 objective map) and prevents farming clones at a letter. If you hold under that amount make it 10 minutes. If your redlined, the game shouldnt last 10 minutes.
This obviously would not work for Domination where its all or nothing. |

I don't know about that...i spend 1,000,000 isk trying to fight a Pubstomping squad the other day, i finish 1st in my team with 1400 wp... and i got rewarded with 250,000 isk..WoOw!!
The following battle i sniped in the red-line, killed a couple of guys.. and make 200,000 isk profit.
It is more profitable to DON'T try...or to be more precise.. to DON'T PLAY. |

There should definitely be an ISK bonus to the winning team, without a doubt. There should be a ranking system in place where a purse of ISK is divided between the 16 mercs on a team. 1st place on your team in WP gets the biggest cut, and 16th gets the smallest cut. Maybe the winning team has a 5mil ISK purse to split, and the losing team gets a 3 mil ISK purse to split. That way, when you're on the winning team, even if you find yourself in the bottom 8, you still get more ISK than the middle of the pack on the losing team. This will in no way stop AFKers from doing their thing, but it will give the AFKers more incentive to play, and contribute to their teams victory. This was suggested in an earlier reply to this thread, I know. Just worded it a little differently. +1 to the ISK bonus for the victors. |

Such simple minds...
Do you ever consider that the people you did kill were wearing expensive ****? Perhaps you were at the top of the board in a team of tryhard do nothings?
All of you AFK panzies, you should maybe go outside if actually playing the game is too much for you. You get almost no rewards for what you do, while I regularly am pushing 200-300k a match actually fighting. |

No... it happens all the time. Only way to fight Pubstompers is with tier 2 ADV or Proto equipment, and dying lots of times. Of course 90% of the time you end up losing anyway...So the harder you try, the harder you are punish. Only the Pubstomper benefits from it... the harder you try to win the more WP, kills, and ISK they get... and you get NOTHING.
But... sit in the red-line and kill JUST a couple of Pubstormers, and you get rewarded.. regardless if you win or not.
The full rewards system is ****... it rewards people for not trying, and punishes people for trying. |

Yesterday, I was involved in a grudge match. A public match in skirmish had former corp mates. Of course both squads had to run full proto because of this. My suits cost about 120K I lost 10 of them. I made 500K from the match. There are many matches I earn upwards of 700K to 1M. lol pub matches can get ridiculous. When everyone runs proto and there are 2-3 enemy tankers that keep calling them in after they lose the first one.
There isn't much incentive to win, but there sure is to taking down all those guys in high end gear. |
