Says the guy I killed 5 times straight.
Seriously, I fight for Caldari, too. What is the deal that I don't gain standings with Caldari unless I win? I mean, I came in THIRD OVERALL and first on my team and we lost and... nothing? Really?

I'm serious, Atiim. I saw you liked my post and I think it was about the killing 5 times? If so, here's the deal: I'm using my Rail Rifle and watching a door that's about 53 m. I have my scanner out and I scan, and see someone out the door so I wait. He enters and I fire. Dead. I did that 5 TIMES.

I did that 5 TIMES. XD And he tried to tell someone to get good? If you die 5 times to the exact same tactic in a row then you truly need to "Get Good".
Indeed. It was glorious. I even killed three of his allies with that tactic. Anyways, I was using STD Rail Rifle, one Adv damage mod and Prof 4. But I still shouldn't kill someone 5 times in a row.

Even if you lose the match, why wouldn't you get a higher standing and reputation by simply fighting for them?
Reputable military leaders didn't gain their reputations by wining every single battle they've fought (though a few have); so I don't get CCP's logic with the whole "You must win to gain a higher standing/reputation" ideal.
But Logic and CCP should not be used in the same sentence.
The only 2 leaders that I can think of that won every fight are Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte. Even Julius Caeser lost several battles.

I win in Caldari more than I lose, that makes me a master, as Obodiah said. But on the ones that I lose, it's a complete and utter waste of my time.

John Demonsbane wrote:Napoleon? Waterloo is synonymous with a military debacle.
George Washington famously lost more battles than he won (debatable but he had barely over a .500 at best) as well.
Up until Waterloo, Napoleon was undefeated. One of the greatest military leaders in history. Obviously, I was referring to BEFORE that one battle. Besides, ALL military leaders lost ONE fight, Alexander the Great lost in India, that's why his Empire stopped in the Middle East.

We have normal public matches where little difference happens when you loose... don't do that to this.
I'll never understand why everyone want's to be rewarded for just participating... with no drive to improve them self's or their surroundings... just sit down and be rewarded.. its sick. tbh this whole statement is a load of pish taken in the context that 1, you guys run gal fw and synch and 2, there isnt an equal player response on the caldari side. **** even my corp run gal (damn frogs) but for us plebs that do caldari to either 1, have a solid challenge or 2, RP for the sake of the game, there is simply nothing at this stage that makes FW anything other than a massive isk sink. **** is too 1 sided atm, and there is no reason you shouldnt get standing increases based of wp instead of either a W or L anyway. Least it stops the moaning and makes it an even keel regardless of who gets stomped.
This. I have noticed Bethhy on the Gallente side fairly often, usually on the other side of my ACOG. If it wasn't for her teammates, she'd have been killed many a time. Needless to say, I think we need to get less for losing, but still get some.
