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.

The fact that you'd suggest something so stupid as to limit the game play you want when that wouldn't really address any part of the problem tells me a lot about you. You could be entered just as easily into a skirmish or domination match with the same issues.

What about the condition that you need to have scored at least 100WP in order for that match to count? |

What's to stop someone from entering a match, hanging around to see if it's going to win and then bothering to collect WP? The rules seem to indicate matches will count as wins with the win + 100 WP requirement but count as losses regardless to stop someone from just farming the matches only for wins but having no penalty to quitting matches. |
