I am not a good player but before this patch each match at least moved me a little bit forward. Here are my last 4 matches tonight:

30,000
30,000
26,000 (a cap win)
15,000

This is F'N horrible. If you want all of us bad players to leave, you may get your wish. What is the F'N point now.

THIS HAS TO CHANGE!

I know, L2P, don't QQ, BYE!

Did I cover them all...

Sorry for the rant but this is just too much...

I did notice that the C-Bills reward rates looked awfully low in the new rewards scheme - if you run some typical scenarios in your head. How was XP? It looked to me like that would take a big hit too.

[Feetwet]

Haven't checked xp because I don't really care about it.

Last match:

23000

[Feetwet]

So tonights running average is 5 games roughly 24000 a game. BS!

My rewards have improved being an aggressive light player. Maybe you need to improve the way you do battle to "reap the rewards".

But, if you lose you do tend to get less by my observation.

Cheers!

[Monkey Lover]

I think a lot of people need to learn the new system. Kills isn't always going to make you the most money. Heck i still see people not locking even when they get paid to do it

[Blue Boutique]

Medium and lights stand to make the most money if they don't run off and get killed. Get money by standing near the assaults and survive.

[Hoffenstein]

Not having much trouble, but I tend to skirmish instead of brawl or snipe.

In all seriousness, thats no more then I recall making playing that well.....but damage doesnt play into the cbill earnings at all....really it should lol...otherwise, how do Assaults make good $$$?

There should be a role warfare segment for Assaults of say 10% increase to end match cbills for every 100dmg dealt in the match.

Hi guys, Russ said that they will take a look at some player stats tomorrow. Please post at the following link to "volunteer" - they will compare your earnings before and after the reward change. Not for everybody, since there seem to be a lot of volunteers, but if you've had bad experiences then please go volunteer.

Please go post here: http://mwomercs.com/...-reward-system/

Win 71,000

To tell you the truth, the wins are bad but the money made for loses if HORRIBLE. I play exclusively group queue and for casual players it is BRUTAL. Add in not making any cbills and its about time for another long break.

While I haven't been having problems with wins, I feel that they need to do something about losses. I failed to make 25,000 with premium time and a 30% C-Bill bonus one match. Previously, participation alone awarded you 25,000. I really think wins and losses being of equal value, at least in non-CW play, is a good thing, because it means you're not penalized when elo decides it is your turn to lose. That 15,000 reduction is really hurting loses a lot.

On the plus side, we might end up seeing less consumables for a while.

I made 15,000 in the first minute of a match by "scouting". I just tapped R a bunch on enemies that were far away and didn't notice me. I wasn't even intending to scout, I just was setting up for an ambush, and was tapping R like you're supposed to.

Here is my last game in a light. Moving fast doing a lot more allows me to get around and i able to make a lot more money. Killing isnt the only reward anymore.

[Pr8Dator]

Did 195,000 in my last game in my Champion mech... my advise... play as a team, thats when the money comes. If you wanna solo around (aka running around in a light on your own and just streaking lasers for kill assists without helping team narc or tag), then you won't make much money I am afraid. PGI did well in creating a disincentive for such selfish playstyle that contributes nothing to the team but waste a precious mech drop.

[Lord de Seis]

Russ stated that they are looking at the first bits of data about the reward system, I would expect to see something tomorrow.

[Brody319]

They have expressed confusion over the low c-bills. So either they skipped out on a few zeros on the rewards, or they decided to only look at the averages of group drops.

[Monkey Lover]

I just pulled 130k again with my jag last match. I think the biggest problem is people are not locking. You should be pressing R on every mech even if you're not targeting it.
