I've had a few games like this tonight. After playing in a game for a little while, I occasionally get reduced WPs for my kills. I just played an Ambush on the American servers, ending at 05:49 EVE time. I've had a few kill notifications saying things like "Kill +30" or "Kill +11". It's not always the same number, and I've had the defense order on me during some of these occasions. I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I'll try to take a picture if it happens again.
EDIT: I should note that it hasn't happened at the very beginning of the battle, but usually after a large amount of kills over a short period of time. It also seems like the kill reward goes back up to normal after a short time after having it occur. It doesn't have a very noticeable pattern, but I'll try to keep an eye out. |

This issue is not just with kills. I noticed in a domination match I was in today my normal logi war points were also much lower than usual. Sometimes only receiving 4-10 WP for team spawns, 2-5 WP for resupply, 4-20 WP for reps. I also dropped an orbital killing 8 enemies and only received 8 WP per kill. I ended this match with far less WP than usual. Is this something that was changed without telling us? or just a simple bug? Would like to know either way. |

I hope it's just a bug. I'd hate to be hitting some sort of anti-WP farming cap under normal gameplay circumstances... |

This is probably the UI getting confused. There are several problems with the kill feed, the WP announcements, the final results and the actual ISK/SP/WP returned. Under many conditions the data is correct on the server, just not on Your PS3. Once you log in again (assuming you log out) they will resync and it should settle out.
There were several instances of Kills and Assists being ignored and I have yet to hear of a fix for that. Nor have I have seen actual evidence of it lately. But, I quit looking.
However, that aside, your numbers look more like you are getting some bonuses from others being close to you when activity is happening (which is what the command orders do). The odd numbers could also be the older style UI not talking to the server quite fast enough glitches (from the first paragraph).
So, if it continues, log your starting numbers (when you log in). The results of matches and resolve the battle results screen with the Kill Feed (where my actual problems were visible as they were different). Log those results and then System->Logout and select the same character again. Check the new values and see if the problem has been resolved. If it is great, if not
[email protected]
and contact CCP customer support. Please be polite as real people will try to solve the problem.
A bit tedious I know but without that detail a support ticket is a waste of time.
Good Luck. |

I've just sent in a email to support, I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the idea. |

This happened to me earlier during 3 or 4 games. I was squad leader, and it seemed to be happening when i had right around 2500+ war points. At one point i was getting a whopping 16 points per kill. |
