I just watched Attention Kmart Shoppers get 455 WP. He did some hacks, called in a tank, got some vehicle kills, and finished halfway down the leaderboard in a dom match on a mostly sver tb team.
This isn't a lot of points. Normally he gets 600-800. The other night I watched him get 2300. He ran to the obj and hacked it. Then immediately went into the hills and started dropping uplinks.
"What the Hell are you doing?" I asked him.
"Tac inserts for my team," he said.
"Nobody's going to use those. They need to be near the objective." I said.
"Yes they will," he said, "they will all start quitting in a minute. I'll be top of the leaderboard."
"Yeah, ok" I said.
Goddamn it, sure enough. Nyain started really crushing them and Kmart's whole team retreated and didn't even try. TEAM SPAWN +25 flashed on the screen like a strobe. Like I said, he ended up with 2300 WP.
Who cares? What's the point?
Kmart is my son. He is only 7. If he can figure this game out (he's played like 10 times), then the QQ crybabies should really be ashamed.
So your idea of figuring the game out is basically to immediately concede defeat and farm WPs instead?
I spawned into an EU skirmish this morning with only one blue and five reds (four in same corp). The blue immediately called a dropship to a high roof and stayed there all game. I went from point to point hacking and slaughtering the enemy squad. 'We' (i.e. me) were comfortably ahead on MCC at the halfway stage. Then the redberries, instead of giving up due to their dozens of deaths to only 3 kills (2 on me, one on blueberry), realized they would win easily if they stopped moving in a squad and instead sent one guy to each objective. Sure, I killed them whenever I saw them, but I can only be in one place at once. The blueberry wouldn't come down even when it was obvious we'd win with another pair of boots of the grounds.
That is how to play the game - both me and the reds. Play to win. Unfortunately there are too many players like your Kmart and my blueberry... |

Yes, it's too bad they are playing, having fun with a free game, and ignoring the QQ.
Sorry, that is harsher than it should be. He's doing great for a 7 year old I guess. But a lot of experienced adult players farm in the same way. Surely you realize it ruins matches for everyone? |

But a lot of experienced adult players farm in the same way. Surely you realize it ruins matches for everyone? I don't see how it ruins a match for anyone. It gives the team getting wrecked a way out of the killbox and makes the winning team work slightly harder for it. Saying it "ruins matches" seems a bit melodramatic, don't you think? Or am I missing a key point?
I'm not so much talking about the specific game described in the OP, but rather the general mindset of farming rather than going for the win (see, e.g., the game I described above). Do you really enjoy games where your team is equipment spamming or camping on roofs, rather than pushing the objectives? |
