During my 5th BCD event some of my friends believed that the OB is a little unfair.
A little background story: Some of my friends are very passionate Battlefield player. The are real team-player so to say. They don't really complain about the OB, they just mentioned it. (for the team you know?)

The thing is, the whole squad is working on the OB, but as it is now only the squad leader is the one who becomes the reward for a successful strike. Now I know what a lot of you are going to say: "It's for the sake of winning rather then rewarding the leader."
And that is true. But still I would like to give my friend-squad something back with every earn OB. Like killassist as a minimum or a fix amount of WP per collected OB.

What do you guys think? Should it stay like this forever or should CCP change it in some future far far away to the point where the whole squad become so sort of rewarded?

Little workaround.

Ask you mates who need wp/sp. Promote leader.
Ask again: 'guys shoot free at target'
Strike


You gain:
- freiendship
- a lot of kill assist
- you help your teammates to gain points

Not big deal at all.

Who gives a damn about war points?

It's a superficial means to make worthless players feel like they actually contributed to the real purpose behind playing the game -- winning.

Only in most cases, WP's do not accurately reflect your contribution to winning. At least half of the actions giving war points were just wasting your own player slot doing pointless things that did not actually effect the overall war effort at all.

Oh, you hacked that large missile turret? Great. it killed no one.

Oh, you blew it up? Great. it was never a threat.

You killed somebody? Great! You will be rewarded with half as many war points as destroying that worthless missile turret.

And so on.

You want to fix the real problem? Get rid of war points and simply reward teams who win, and punish teams who lose. Then it won't matter who drops the gimmicky orbital which shouldn't even be getting called down by non-EVE players anyway.

When I run squads with corp mates we pass squad lead around every few battles or so. This gives everyone a chance to call in a few OBs, not to mention making them familiar with the squad lead commands. If your friends are really that upset about not getting WP for an OB then perhaps you could try that. Like someone else stated they're meant to turn the tide of a battle or to close out a win, not just for WP. If they were true team players they would understand that.
