Can someone explain to me how it's somehow permissible to have a contest that distributes rewards based on a player's win/loss record yet the game spawns you into matches that are already lost? I have been entered into several ambush matches that have less than 5 clones left, and a few that actually have 0. So how, then, does it make any sense that these matches would be counted against that win/loss record???

Why isn't there a requirement that the match has to last a certain time period (say, you're in the match at least 1 minute)? Why aren't the rewards based on total war points accrued during the time?

Absolutely fail with this contest, CCP. -1

Oh, so you decided and actually managed to get 100WP in the final seconds of the match to have it count towards the contest?

No, but it's my understanding that matches you enter count as losses regardless, as some people were saying that even if you quit a match from the war barge, it will count against you. If this isn't so, then there really isn't a problem.

If this isn't so, then there really isn't a problem. What about the condition that you need to have scored at least 100WP in order for that match to count?
