Maybe this is a long shot, but perhaps people are willing to share what sort of points per ped of stars they have been getting in the MM solo/FFA, so that we can go through the economics together.
I had slowly been drawn in closer to the events being run, as it seemed they might be giving bonus that would at lower losses for everybody compared to other returns outside. I liked the evade on offer for Gold Rush, so I did it, but this is my only real comparison of a rate of points coming in.
There, I was getting about 100 points for 200 peds turnover, but it was actually mob kills which was getting the evade awards in that event. Still, I reckoned that if I were to get the same rate in MM, then I'd be getting 100 points for a loss of about 20 peds on average (90% calculation) as a rough estimate, which might be a bit like getting payback or so. I did an hour of each (solo/FFA) on the first day of MM, but got far fewer stars, so I stopped and did other stuff.
Then I realised that the FFA ammo bonus made each star point worth about 25 pecs if you got up to the full 10k either by participation or buying up from others. It made me think that the points rate must be different from my Gold Rush experience, as people would actually be in profit from that rate. I saw that the AH prices were reflecting this theoretical value by being a reasonable bit below 25 pecs per point, but of course I had no reliable drop rate to calculate from as far as MA's point of view was.
So, is anyone willing to say how many points they have been getting per 100 peds of shooting?
Actually, I don't expect the answers to come out at a loss overall for the revenue side, but it could well be a loss for Caly, based on my assumption that Caly might have to pay for all the rewards itself out of "its share of revenue generated". Now we hear that somehow CLDs are affected too, so if MA, CLD holders AND the PP are ALL getting paid less, then how does the maths stack up?
So, short and simple: how many points have you been getting on average per 100 peds of shooting? Knowing the tt return per 100 peds would also be interesting, of course, but my aim is not to get massive data for 90% theories here: just to get a ball park for the star points. Thank you.
