ATM player guide

The term "Payout"
Payout is term used for how much money you lose when people attack your ATM. Basically how much money you can "pay out". This depends on two things: your level and your win/loss ratio. The first one is simple, the higher your level the higher your payout will be. A level 80 ATM will have a much higher payout then a level 20 ATM.

The Win/Loss ratio
ATMs must have a win/loss ratio better than 1:5 wins to losses, otherwise their payout will be reduced significantly. For any 5 losses a player has, that player must have 1 or more wins in order to have the best payout possible. If you have 15,000 losses, then you must have at least 3,000 wins or better to have a full payout. Ideally players should always have a cushion of a few thousand wins so the payout doesn't drop during an event.

ATMs have a lot of Health
ATMs have a lot of fans, because people tend to like free money. Regardless if it's virtual or real money... It's like WalMart opening its doors the day after Thanksgiving with $1.00 Sony Blu-ray players on sale. If you think your shiny 100 Max Health will do just fine, you'll be in for a big surprise! You better have several hundred, or even better way above 1,000 Max Health points in order to serve your customers. When you have a pack of a few hundred hungry kids with $ signs in their eyes attacking you for your money, you'll only have 3-5 seconds to run and restore your health before they suck you dry!!! And let me tell you, nothing pisses people off more then waving $1 Billion in your left hand and keeping a "Their forces are retreating and cannot be attacked" sign in the other. But fear not, the higher Level you are, the more skill points you can possibly spend on your max health.
