They already do:
Proto weapons kill betterererer.
Proto suits survive more.
Proto hives give more ammo (thus more WP.)
Proto dampeners/amplifiers/precision enhancers hide/detect better.

Prototype things do reward you more, though not everything does equally. Proto Needles give you 60 WP for picking someone up, yet the reviver gets no benefit for having invested that extra ISK/SP into the far superior needle. Obviously, true Logibros don't mind immensely, but when WPs are still the (terrible) focus of a lot of battles (ie, Orbitals and end of match rewards) then a reduced output for using better equipment is bad.

all i have to say about this is a needle, any needle saves you a suit and the team a clone. the more advanced it is just means you have to do less after you get them up. you put yourself at risk to save someone a suit and clone. that is why its valuable. reduce the wp and you will find that most people will stop using them completely. you seem to forget to take into account the needle is only usefull for one thing and creates great risk for anyone who uses it to try and save your clone so incorporating it into a fit is difficult over the more widely needed equipment.

i use a militia needle and i would say about 98% survive and receive full heals. if wp was reduced i would seriously consider never using a needle. risk vs reward. i put myself in the line of fire to save you and if i get little in return i just wont do it. when you go down in your expensive suit i wont even consider getting you up. that is how it would go if you got what you wanted.

Wombat in combat TeamPlayers 143	Posted - 2013.11.12 17:43:00 - [3] - Quote The militia nanite injector, or any injector for that matter is not the problem. The problem is war points are being awarded right after you inject. In my opinion you should only get war points after your patient has survived at least X seconds (10 or something) after s/he was injected. Also there should be an option to decline a revive, especially if you yourself know you will never make it out of there. Somewhat related and I've touched on this before, you should be awarded war points depending on what needle you use. Currently you are awarded the most by using the worst needle and repair the rest with a repair tool. Ideally I feel you should be awarded 60 WP + the war points you would have got if you had used a repair tool. I think would encourage usage of advanced and prototype injectors.
Kallas Hallytyr Skullbreakers 94	Posted - 2013.11.12 18:15:00 - [4] - Quote What are the two issues people have with bad revives: War Points: - The random person picking you up gets war points for essentially nothing. Especially with militia/starter suits or the blueprints, there is next to no downside, meaning that people can happily run around stabbing people with no effective repercussions. - The enemy is liable to get another 50+ WP for killing you again as well as potentially killing your 'saviour' thus netting them an orbital faster and giving them a better slice of their respective pie. So the issue with War Points is that there's not any real measure of how effective that revive was, it's just a flat bonus regardless of the circumstances. People have previously suggested bonus' that reward the reviver based upon how long the saved merc survives for, or rewarding players for using better levels of needles, such that low-end needles are only used because they are the only accessible gear. Kill/Death Ratio: - People don't like dying because it makes them 'worse.' This is more of a problem with perception: K/DR means very little. Winning a game does not necessarily rely on destroying the ever-living **** out of your opponent but it can. The current statistics and mindset of gamers is that Kills > Everything Else. I don't know why, but that's especially dumb in team-focused games. So one of the simplest solutions is to downgrade the visibility of the K/DR: do we really need to see it in bright green and red at the end of the battle? Edit: Wombat, you mind reading bastard :D

What we should really do is get rid of stupid needle jabbers who jab even when they KNOW that the person they revive will die right after.

That's what I was trying to do is , get the temperature of the people in the room on this topic and I see that all or most of us basically agree . And thanks for the correction for mentioning that you don't get charged twice ( I couldn't remember but I'm just tired of these things and careless people ) , so thanks to you Ku Shala .

I wish they would add the damn shield bubble, then I could actually protect all the revivees. Right now you get a choice: drive the enemy back (taking time & hoping some random red doesn't peak around at the worst time) or trying to use your body to cover the fallen which means you have an extra 0.5 secs until I'm down. But you can't blame people for using the militia nanite injector, you get more points for the revive+ heal over a nicer injector. And with the dumb SP event revolving solely around WP you know people are going to take advantage.

I couldn't remember or not if I had to refill my gear and materials or not . Most of the time this happens , it's two or three times in the same match , so by the time the match is over needless to say I'm very upset . Why bring someone back into an area and time that does more harm than good ??? I know your kidding about the KDR rate . When I first started , that was all I had going for me because even though I had a good rate , my team use to loose most of the time . Now I have nothing to look forward to .
