Wanna stay at the redline taking potshots with that sniper? Go ahead, but you'd better be a crack shot to get a decent amount of XP out of it....

have sympathy with this view - but then everyone would run logis (as many do now for WP). A WP fit: nanos/ reps/ injector - and coming soon scanning - quickest and easiest way to make WP. No need to play objectives or anything.

WP need a general rethink

But is this really a problem for pubs? Who cares if people run fits to boost their WP if they are attempting to hit their SP cap?

I have said it before and I will keep saying it. AFKing problem as Babar said will never be fixed until they remove the SP per second in game and make it a SP per WP. If you make it such that you get 5-10 SP per WP then you will stop seeing people constantly AFKing and you will see more participation in capturing objectives and hives/links/etc.

I agree. But they cant just get rid of in game SP without reworking WP.

if you go 20-0 you get 1000 WP

If you follow and rep a heavy all game you can go 3000 WP - adding nothing to the team.

the WP are all out fo whack

yes its pubs. Its where people play to hit the cap.

In fact, I and many others told CCP months ago that a "fix" such as the one they actually did would not solve the AFK problem.

Edit : Have you tried holding left so you just turn on the spot without moving ... I wonder if they "rubber band proofed" that aspect but neglected the forward motion possibility ?

Rudy Vandersario The Nimbor Corporation 24	Posted - 2013.09.03 12:33:00 - [12] - Quote I don't see why people are allowed to stay in the MCC anyway. Is there a legitimate reason why it is allowed? I remember one game when I had just started out I had taken such a beating that I stayed in it for the last couple of minutes but that's the only time. And to be fair I was at least trying to snipe, with the Milita AR for some reason!

As long as CCP decides not to punish booster they will always be there and trying to boost the hell out of that game :/

You can fix it easily by stretching/uncompressing them. No idea how messed up the stick input I mean the weights are way at the end

WP need a general rethink I am a logi about 75% of the time and you are correct logi is easy street for WP farming. I had a guy pick me up five times the other day while under fire. He was watching me get gunned downed and would run out and revive me and then run back. I didn't have time to terminate my clone. WP does need a rethink and all actions shouldn't reward WP.
