Ok so we have heard of different ways that can make this game better, so I am going to give an example that seems to me like fun.
What if you had the option to be put into solo players vs. solo players matches. Now how is this special, it is the feature that puts a person with a high kill count, WP, or SP on each side and it is off of there game play that can determine the out come of a battle. We can call them Generals or Alpha players. The best part is they gather 10% of all WP from all players to add to there own to make an orbital. All players score points off of the orbital if they contribute. This would put a more equal feel to the game and then we can see who really are great players and who are not. It would benefit a team more if they worked together for the outcome of the battle would no longer be in the hands of a few squads but the whole team.
Just a thought, share yours

Could you imagine the WP's a Logi General/Alpha would be able to rack up? Insane. I like it.

This sounds kinda ridiculous. The solo vs. solo sounds ok but the whole WP bit not so much.

This idea is broken and won't work for two reasons:
1 - the "general" with orbital idea. If you feed WPs from the orbital back to the players whose total WPs are being used to calculate when an orbital is available, then you just created a possible "exploit" as once you get an orbital it creates another orbital and so on... It's the same with the situation now where you have a squad in a tank with two logi's and a shield repping LAV. Once you earn an orbital, squad leader (who is a tank gunner) gets out order's the orbital, gets back into tank, while the two logis outside armor rep the tank and the LAV shield reps the tank. Don't forget to have the objective "doughnut" on the tank driver before this all starts as well. Now for every kill the orbital receive, everyone in the tank receives a kill or kill assist and subsequently the people outside the tank receive guardian points. Kill enough people with the orbital and the squad earns another orbital...
2 - This is a COOPERATIVE and TEAM ORIENTED game. Why the hell would you reward someone for playing solo in that kind of game? That's like giving your puppy a treat when it pees on the carpet! It is completely counter productive to getting players to learn to play better! What is with this "I am Bobafet" attitude? This is not SW online or some other children's themepark game. This is DUST 514 and that says something. If someone wants to choose to play solo that is fine, but they have to understand that they are taking on a disadvantage to doing so. A solo player should find that they are less effective than a team of players working together. Stop trying to reward people for doing the wrong things! It only encourages all the QQ and T_T you see on these forums.

How is any play style wrong. By definition you are a merc and being a merc you are bought and sold by the highest bidder. If you work for a corp(corporation) than you are representing them and work for them. I am talking about others who wish not to be tied to an corp and wish to solo. Everyone tries to place you in a box, but as a merc you are supposed to be only loyal to ISK and yourself.
So why not have a game mode that rewards you for your game play. Also the thought of orbitals being farmed by either team is nothing new, there are groups that do it now. They sit in the back with a logi, and 2-3 individuals fire off there weapons and injure themselves so the logi can get points from hives and reps. So WP farming is nothing new.
