If you want Logi level rewards then try logistics work.

There is actually twice as much WP's given out for kills as for spawns! Yes, you heard it right, CCP rewards slayers twice as much as logistics today. 50 points for a kill and 25 for a spawn.

So why do I get more rewards than you? Simple. I'm the ONLY ONE putting out uplinks! I have no competition for spawn rewards because you are too busy killing to be bothered to deploy an uplink. You on the other hand have to compete with 14 other slayers for the pot of kills.

You can think of Logis as the hosts of the party, supplying free drinks and entertainment to all. The best hosts are constantly running around making sure everyone has a drink and is enjoying themselves. They get satisfaction from a well run party that everyone talks about the day after. Their WP's are a measure of their popularity, how much folks enjoyed their services.

Just as in life where the vast majority of folks just want to drink and dance, most FPS players want to run and gun. They aren't interested in support play because it takes away from their shooting time. The ratio of support players is akin to the number of hosts that throw parties, precious few.

So if you want to be popular try throwing a party of your own instead of attending every one you can and complaining that the host is more popular than you are.

So you think a heavy that doesnt have a equipment slot thats getting all he kills isnt equal to the guy doin nothing but running around dropping uplinls, suits with equipmen slots can spam for easy wp, kills meed a way to make wp for balance

That Logi is keeping his team in the fight and is spending a huge amount of time and risking a good deal of ISK in doing so. You don't earn 50 spawns by tossing uplinks in crappy far away locations. If the heavy gets All the kills in a 150 clone match he will earn 7,500 WP. If the Logi manages to get 150 spawns (meaning his gear is more attractive than any objective, CRU, "Smart spawn", or other uplink) he will earn only 3,750 points. I repeat, the ONLY reason I can out earn you is that I'm THE ONLY ONE keeping everyone in the fight. I have NO competition. Why? Because you don't want to do it. The guy next to you doesn't want to do it. The guy next to him doesn't want to be bothered either. If you think it's so easy to maintain enough uplinks in prime locations just try it yourself. Try not losing ISK carrying all that proto equipment on a squishy Logi suit. Top the leader board just once as a dedicated Logi and we'll have a discussion about how "easy" it is. Until then you don't have a clue what's involved. You are just guessing about a role you've never played.

I can understand ignorance. Not many folks play true support so few have any experience with the rewards and requirements. What I don't understand is continued bitching when the facts have been explained. As for CoD kill streaks, they focus on the individual and therefore have no place in DUST.
