Also, some players in this thread would then take around 70 hours of play a week to cap out, and would gripe. I like your idea. It also ensures that people try their best to contribute as much as possible for their playing time. But it'll be bad for new players: you don't want them to earn less SP by playing (granted, you'll have to be really bad for that, but still).
Yes, it would be great for people that pull in high WP numbers every match but would cripple the new players.
I believe the current method is 1 Second = 5 SP and 1 WP = 1 SP. Say a match lasts 13 minutes. Currently that would be 3,900 + X = SP, X is WP. Say you were to flip the numbers to make WP more favorable and time not as favorable:
13 minute match = 780 + 5 X = SP. So getting 780 SP gives you the same amount of SP now and with the proposed change: 4,680. Get less WP, you get a less SP and get more WP, you get more SP with the change. How many people can routinely pull in 780 WP a matches? Those than can pull in 1,500+ in the same match are going to cap in 5 hours. People that can call in solo orbitals are going to get 13,280 for that match, capping in a little more than 3 hours. Pull in 400 WP a 13 minute match (no squad, you kill 8 people or hack some objectives) and you will cap in about 12 and a half hours.
The change also means that a one sided match is terrible for everyone. If one team gets pushed to the redline in the first 5 minutes, you can expect most people are not going to get the 780+ WP just because the enemy is hiding. For the enemy, what is the point in staying? You are not going to get triage points, hack objectives, or even be able to kill all that many people to "make this match worthwhile" so you might as well leave.
