I am genuinely curious what sort of profit the average, individual members of these sorts of organisations make on a daily or monthly basis.

Oops
Every single individual pilot in the top 20 has more individual kills in just the past 7 days than your entire alliance put together can manage in a month....
The alliances have more in the past 7 days than your alliance had total in its lifetime....
Hell, even most of the titan pilots are on more kills than your entire alliance put together in those campaigns....
If people don't cower in fear from THOSE people, why would anyone care about R.E.P.O. ?

I was responding to the OP...was just too lazy to quote him.
As for profitability - I'm sure the leadership of the various mercenary organizations makes some money, but as for the average member, most are lucky if their corp even has a good enough replacement program they are able to break even most of the time.
Though there is always the slight chance of stumbling across a target with faction mods you can quietly slip into your pocket from time to time, in which case it can be worth more.

right but is that profit?
also its not the actual act of pvp (destroying ships) that generates profit its the industry(renting i dunno im pretty ignorant when it comes to nullsec activities) that you perform after said pvp? so the pvp allows for soveirgnty to flourish i guess in nullsec. since there is none of that to speak of in the other places you can most likely only attribute "profits" from pvp as actual direct income generated by the act of pvp? maybe im overthinking your question...or underthinking...or something
so in the case of mercs since thats what repo did and what my experience is in i just immediately thought things like client contracts, loot drops, ransoms etc... in which there was definately no profit. any money made from loot drops was split between those on the killmail and any money made via client contract was either ppk (which you rarely get these days) or just flat fee which pretty much just sustained the war dec fees. and trust me there was NO profit from that maybe enough isk to sustain non contract wardecs or to pay for ships now and then but i gaurantee every single merc had other guys making money for them else where which is what ia ssumed most people did. they have their combat guys to blow up and get blown up and their carebear guys to ensure they could keep that.....lifestyle.

so back to pvp is not profitable. in certain scenarios pvp allows industry/sov related activity to flourish.
but pvp itself is generally never profitable |

I make a profit every time I lose a ship, after I take into account the cost of ammunition, insurance, modules, rigs, and so forth; however, I will admit the profit is a modest one, around 5% or so. But that's still a profit.

As far as profitability goes, it depends. :).
If they are camping outside of a jita undock like orphanage, killing people moving items around, it depends on how stupid your targets are, id imagine you could simply look the orphanages killboard as a solid point of reference, take a look at a members kills over a period of 30 days, check what loot dropped and divide the value between those involved... But that takes effort and I'm lazy.
For general PvP profitability, it is profitable. The trick is, don't die in expensive ships... As long as you can keep from dying even the most petty of loot becomes profit.
I make, on average, like 500 mil a month, just depends on the loot fairy. |

Yeah, that was basically what I was hoping someone would do for me.
Quote:I make, on average, like 500 mil a month, just depends on the loot fairy. Thanks!
That just barely pays for the PLEX for the account, so I'd say that's pretty okay.
But how much time does one spend camping to acquire that much? Sky Captain of Your Heart; Lyris Chronicles of Narnia in the World of Tomorrow's Goonfleet dot Com; Good Poster Extraordinaire and Spacebook Superstar : RIFTERSWARM I am the Pubbie Whisperer |

Vultures make good money from other peoples efforts. I tried it as an experiment and it proved very effective as an alternative to pve grinding for isk, its just not an interesting enough use of my play time long term. I get by with my minimal effort market trading; luckily I don't have expensive PVP ship tastes (outside of the odd 300m isk Daredevil now and then) :P
If I played EVE a lot more actively I might have to consider going back to vulturing / ganking haulers at quiet times. Quiet times being the best for ganking because thats when haulers feel the safest to do their runs, and less competing gankers/vultures about :P (a¦á_a¦â) ~ http://getoutnastyface.blogspot.com/ ~ (a¦á_a¦â) -áGÖÑ New Years Resolution ~ Cease thy Smacktalk GÖÑ |

funny enough ive probably made as much money from loot from pvp kills as i have from stealing loot and ninja salvaging @ the major hubs. |

I'm just popping in here mid chapter in the book im reading and thus havent had the chance to check your killboard stats but its entirely believable. Having said that, I pretty much exclusively solo in frigates and while I think my k/d ratio is about two kills to each loss, the income isnt that great. Especially since a lot of those kills are versus a group where I dont get time to actually loot after my kill.... you have to kill and GTFO before the backup arrives.
If you can make good income from pure PVP then that is a wonderful thing. It certainly used to be more viable back in the days that tech II mods cost a lot of money and most people didnt know how to fit their ships. These days, finding loot pinatas is much harder.

my entry to and time in eve is probably considered a-typical. i had no interest in pay to play games after spending so much time playing swg and being shat upon by SOE i was pretty much fps only kind of guy
. well friends that were a merc group convinced me to play with them cause they needed pilots. so pretty much my entire time was spent flying around high sec (mostly) and low sec(only some) doing the merc thing. so since i was pvping (regardless if you consider mostly highsec wardecing pvp) from the beginning I would assume if you added up my losses and compared to my gains from module drops id be close to breaking even but ive never taken the time to think about it. i make my isk other ways(as i assume most do) and always considered any carebearing i did as a means to pvp and not worry about profitability from pvp.
