These things were ut in place because it allows new people to still progress even thiugh they are completely outclassed. Which means people will AFK. It sucks, but I'd take AFKers than forcing someone with no SP, no ISK, and no knowledge of the game to suffer because of a few bad apples.

And how are they getting better doing nothing? 90% of the game is actually playing: using the controls to kill and hack. SP is not the only nor the best measure of player ability. Learning the maps, damage profiles, enemy tendencies, etc: all incredibly important elements that are not posted on all four of the MCC's walls.

And they need incentives to keep playing and learning. Not giving them any ISK or SP after a hard loss will discourage them from logging back in. Those rewards need to come. Unfortunately this means dealing with AFKers. Its the lesser of two evils.

After playing 5 matches and being ****** over regularly because there were at least 3 guys gettin 0/0/0 ( 0 kills, 0 deaths and 0 warpoints ) I started to think. " This guy hasnt participated in the match, why should he be rewarded with free isk and free sp". So after that thought, I decided that CCP should put a minimum warpoint or kills / deaths to be able to benefit the from the spoils of war. It simple, if you dont play, you dobt get pain isk or sp period. That is more than fair and would do wonders to eliminate afj player who ruberband their controllers or stay in the match pressing triangle. Plasma Cannon Advocate [SUPPORT BREACH SHTGUN CHANGES][2]

Lol a Newberry that goes 0kills 0 deaths and 0 warpoints was not playing the game. When you get stomped, you get killed period. Plasma Cannon Advocate [SUPPORT BREACH SHTGUN CHANGES][2]

Damn son, did you read the post? A player who does nothing as in completely nothing. A newberry will die trying 100% of the time. Were not talking about warpoints or kills we are talking about a person that goes 0/0/0 which means they stayed in the redline crouching and standing back up the whole game.
