2 days ago i afk'd for minmatar in afternoon and won 16 of 18 matches. All i ever do is drop 3 uplinks by home point to farm some wp then i go hide in corner.

I might just take you up on that, same channel as caldari event?

Winning matters. If you want to just be rewarded for showing up you can play pubs. This isn't going to change so best not lose

Yes, winning matters but there is something to be said for loyalty to a corporation, even corporations that are NPC factions.

I'm pretty sure the Caldari and the Amarr appreciate anyone who signs up to fight for them game after game when they do nothing but get stomped. And let's face it the guys who play for those teams aren't awful, but I'd be hard pressed to wear any good combat gear if I knew we were going to get steamrolled.

Wouldn't the Caldari or Amarr appreciate the loyalty that people have to their cause?

Hey, I'm not saying that losing battles should be compensated equally, but the guys who choose to fight for the losing side should get a small faction boost.

Because I play Minmatar and occasionally play Gallente I'm on the team that almost always wins. It is super hard to get matches now. In some matches I see Minmarar squads camping a single red CRU. 12 guys stand around and shred any red that spawns there. It seems sort of silly.

A small faction boost to the losing side might encourage people to play factions that are getting stomped because nobody wants FW to become like PC.

Just sayin'

To me this is a bit of diff issues you bring up. check my FW 1.8 changes lots of similar discussions there.

It should be based on consecutive matches played for the same faction. The more matches you play for the same faction in a row the more standing you get per match. Also LP should at least be partially based on in game performance, it makes no sense that the guy who gets 30+ kills and 3000 WP gets the same LP as the guys who goes 0 - 15 with 50 WP.

Ok so here is a scenario.

Player 1 plays 20 matches for Amarr, loose all of them at 0.3KDR
Player 2 plays 3 mathces for Amarr, wins all of them at 5KDR

Which one do you think the Amarrians will like more?

KDR is irrelevant.

Wins are not.
WP is not.

Ha, what are you talking about? If you AFK now you have a good chance of NOT winning the match. Sure everyone on that team got the same reward ie nothing. Yes, the imbalance in FW means you can AFK as Minnie or Gal and still win but if enough people do this there is little hope of winning.

Adding in loser LP points just means I find a nice place to AFK. I don't care if you teamkill me, I'll just report you. I can run starter suits so no Isk loss. I can periodically check back on the match to see if I die.

I can gain 10 lp for 0 isk or I can spend 100k+ Isk for 50 LP.

The Tweny match.
Loyalty you know what it means ?

Standings is supposed to be based ON LOYALTY not on performance.
That's why Standings should be base on consecutive matches (A match count with a minimum of 300WP).
And LP reward on performance.

With the standings affecting the LP reward AFTER it was affected by perf.

Exemple : High standing (Max) = 50% bonus.

You won 500LP based on your score. (exemple)
With the standing you won 750LP.


It sohuld be like that and not the actual system.
