First world complaint if I ever read one! 250K for at most 15 minutes of play is not good! Wish I could have your problems.

Made more out of it before the patch. I played with my team, supported, tagged,... just cant understand why I get punished for that.
Last game I played a laser/tag painter exploting the tag damage/tag kill. Use to my team - next to none. Income from a below-average game: 220k without any effort to be "good". If I really try, theres 300+ in it.

Thats what bothers me most. The rewards can encourage a playstyle that doesnt really help your team while heavy/assault teamplayers get punished.

many of your best customers have wonderful things called jobs. WE need to work and cannot play and test ALL DAY.

And thats exactly why I want to make some cbills without playing all day. Pre-change income wasnt that bad, why nerf?

Im gonna lay down MWO for a while... This is why I left during closed beta. Income nerf spoiled the fun !

First I hope when you say "Pre-Change" your talking about the C-bill amounts we were seeing back before the switch to 12 vs 12 because what we have had since then has been about 30% too low.

Second, now that we are seeing yet another 20-30% cut it is just painful for anyone trying to NOT treat playing like a job. That isn't fun.

What I want to see is the ability to make about 1 million C-bills an hour with premium. You can run about 5 matches an hour so that means an average of 200k per match, figuring a loss making around 125-150k and a win making 225-250k on average. Again this is with premium. This is what I used to make in 8 vs 8. Recently I have been averaging 140k per match which is roughly 7 matches per 1 million. Under the new rewards I am up to about 9 matches per million or roughly 600k per hour played. That is way to low.

This, minus case plus SRM4, is my DDC build. 2xLL,2SRM6,SRM4,AC20. It gets damage and kills just fine but little cbills. As mentioned in another thread, I killed 7 guys with close to 1k damage in a match and got about 230k.

is this considered low or high? Cause that looks pretty good to me!

It is all about the kills and win now.

Not according to occusoj who's 7 kill game and near 1K damage left him dissatisfied with the earning total? We will assume a Win condition was met.

Hmmm....

Sorry OP, but you have no idea what you're talking about. People complaining are presenting actual evidence that the system is messed up, and your argument is what? That everyone should stop posting because other people are posting? And that "teamwork will get you the same rewards" without any evidence whatsoever? This isn't helpful.

With premium/hero bonuses, 230k is extremely low for a game like this. On Sunday this would've been a 450k game for me (Premium only). Without premium bonuses, 230k isn't bad but on Sunday you would get the same with 4 kills and 600 damage - he was almost double that for both.

Well, the 8v8 earnings were nice from what I got about that time. I arranged myself with the first nerf stage but the second one is a bit too much in my opinion. Because now were 30% short on 30% short.

Considering the fact I killed more than all others combined, provided ECM, soaked damage, assisted the team whenever I could - its low. Games like that used to be well up in the 300k region.
Ive put up even higher dmg numbers with 5-7 kills on LRM boats, no big money for me though.

Yes my team won. I posted the screeenshot in a different thread.
