There should be war points awarded for anti-hacking a null cannon currently in the contested state after the enemy has hacked it. Currently because anti-hacks are so slow there is a good chance that before your anti-hack is finished the previous contested hacks completes which swaps control over to the enemy and requires a fresh hack (this has happened to me several times). Also during the anti-hack you are massively vulnerable and get very little reward for this risk.

This actually encourages you to allow the enemy hack to go through successfully so you can then immediately hack it back quickly without being to vulnerable for too long and giving you the opportunity to score 100 WP if you can defend the new hack during the contested phase. Things like this where it encourages bad team play for greater personal reward are an imbalance IMHO.

By awarding say 50WP for an anti-hack then you encourage good team play and it justifies the risk of being vulnerable for during the anti-hack. There is a risk again that for personal gain players may deliberately allow an enemy to hack into the contested state so they can immediately anti-hack for points but with the anti-hacks being so slow this would balance out to not really being worth the risk.

I think the reason it's not there in the first place is to prevent WP farming with continuous hacks/counter hacks. They said they need to come up with ways to prevent people from exploiting the system. The whole WP system is being looked at in 1.5 supposedly.

I don't really agree because counter hacks take ages and you're really vulnerable so good luck trying to farm WPs from counter hacking. A fair amount of time you're going to get shot and have to abandon it or die. The decision to make counter hacking so slow was surely the balance to prevent the exploitation you are talking about.

Funkmaster Whale was referring to a situation where two players collude and hack/counter hack while everyone stands by and watches. This similar concern was for people just shooting and farming WPs with repair tools, but they fixed that so the individual can only get a certain number of WPs per time period. In order for this to work for hacks, you'd have to have the actual hacking action have a cooldown period, but then this would cause WP problems with genuine hacks (otherwise you'd just have people taking turns).

I agree that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that a counter hack takes longer yet provides no benefit.
