Hey all. In an attempt to address a few issues in the game here are my thoughts on some potential quick wins for CCP. Please comment if you like any of the ideas, think any of them need adjusting, or if you think any of them are just plain BS. Apologies for repeating anything anyoneGÇÖs already saidGǪ If you can add to it, or can suggest alternatives, please go ahead.
Hacking Objectives
Motivation
To reward people for keeping fighting right to the end, encourage close battles, and dissuade the retreat to the red-line.
Change
Reward WP for hacking based on a ratio of red and blue MCC health. The more you are being stomped, the more the reward for risking all. There should be no punishment for being in the lead.
Example
MCC health (%) vs. WP per hack
...............Blue.......100-80.......80-60.......60-40.......40-20.......20-0
Red
100-80.......................50.............60............80..........125........250
80-60GǪGǪGǪGǪGǪGǪ.. 50GǪGǪGǪ.50GǪGǪGǪ60GǪGǪ...100GǪGǪ200

Killing / Assists (infantry vs. infantry)
Motivation
The proto stomper gets minimal reward for farming academy fresh berries, whereas news player get to feel the buzz for wiping the smile off a try-hard vet. Reinvigorate the ISK / risk economy.
Change
Reward WP for kills and assists based a ratio of the killer and killed suit meta-level (ideally this would also take into account core-skills and proficiencies, but IGÇÖm not sure how). The reward quickly drops back to normal when not at the extremes to keep motivation to grind up the skill tree.
Example
Meta-level vs. WP per kill
GǪGǪ...KillerGǪV.HighGǪGǪHighGǪGǪ..MedGǪGǪ..LowGǪGǪ..Starter
Killed
V.HighGǪGǪGǪGǪGǪ50GǪGǪGǪ60GǪGǪGǪ.70GǪGǪGǪ..80GǪGǪGǪ...100

StarterGǪGǪGǪ........15GǪGǪGǪ25GǪGǪGǪ..50GǪGǪGǪ..50GǪGǪGǪGǪ.50
Killing / Assists (vehicle vs. vehicle)
As per infantry vs. infantry.
Killing / Assists (infantry vs. vehicle)
Disclaimer
A controversial one. I believe more balancing is required generally for vehicles vs. infantry.
Motivation
Reduce the game killing effect (for new players), of a new player being up against a decent tank or three: approximately zero chance of a kill, and every chance of being farmed.
Change #1
Reward WP for damaging vehicles. The general risk of jumping in an AV suit to inflict enough damage to make the tank run away, only for itsGÇÖ return minutes later, is rewarded.
Example #1
Taking a tankGÇÖs shield below 20% nets 25WP.
Taking a tankGÇÖs armour below 20% nets an additional 25WP.
Time limited to prevent farming.
IGÇÖm sure a lot of you can do betterGǪ
Change #2
Reward WP for kills, assists and damage based on AV weapon and vehicle meta-level ratio.
Example #2
Meta-level vs. WP per kill
GǪGǪGǪ.AVGǪ..V.HighGǪGǪ.HighGǪGǪGǪ.MedGǪGǪLowGǪGǪGǪStarter

Reviving
Motivation
Encourage intelligent reviving and discourage boosting.
Change
Reward WP based on survival time.
Example
Revived merc survival time vs. WP per revive
t<0.5sGǪGǪGǪ0WP
0.5<=t<3sGǪ25WP
3<=t<5sGǪ...50WP

I think all this would be a pain in the ass to code and implement for the devs and add in extra work that isn't needed until we get all the basics down first, all racial; weapons, vehicles, suits, equipment, MCCGÇÖs, maps, sockets and everything to be balanced...
Then perhaps thinking about adding in a more balanced WP system and only then.

seem to remember Logibro(?) saying that they would really like to reward vehicle damage and not just kills(?)
probably no time soon if it is going to happen, took awhile to get all the logi WP bonuses in...
