I am about to do my second round of torture to see if todays patch brought anything other than the suits. I am not willing to put in another 60 matches if it is the same I will go 15-20 for this sample.

One week of grinding and wasting about 20mil worth of suits, gained me a shiny MinmanSanta Suit...
I hate the looks, but the suit is fun...
Beware Amarrians, when santa comes to you, you might want to hide or you'll get the "driver"...

Join xmlx and sync some battles with or against.
FYI, for those not familiar, we go round-robin in XMLX -- from Am to Min to Cal to Gal. |

Try Amarr1. PIE almost never responds to squad requests; only location for orbitals.

WHICH I totally understand your frustration, but if everyone collectively has the likeminded mentality that also creates a losing team. So I guess it is being stuck between a rock and a hard place. FW is quite aggravating... |

Duboi? Yeah, he screwed up in the early stages, but lately his coordinated attempts have taken their toll on the Minmatar.

Obviously I have been playing again recently and it has made me realise that FW is at times a complete waste of time.
I might as well AFK through matches as if we dont win then my efforts mean nothing other than extra lost isk.
I propose the following:
Keep the higher LP pay outs for the winning faction however directly tie WP to extra LP and crucially - extra standings gains at the end of a battle regardless of if you win or lose.
Otherwise I am just going to AFK as my efforts are meaningless.
I've been in FW a long timeGǪ except for a big break shortly after the LP store went inGǪ as wait times got ridiculous. What I've noticed is sometimes you get a strong start GǪ but as soon as one team decides that they won't win they stop doingGǪ a n y t h i n g I was thinking that perhaps a small rank increase to the top 5-10 players on the losing side may add incentive to keep a match running rather than having MCC siestas halfway through the match. Added LP is also a good option.
The reason when one team decides they won't win they don't do anything is simple shotty payouts ****** risk vs reward system both in fw and pubs AFKing is rampant ...because when the **** hots the fan it's not worth putting up a fight
Now for example it was like that first day of 1.9 but toned down ..i would be willing to fight alone with 15 AFKing random vs a full serious team..because I would be rewarded
I had tines that day where the highest killed under me had 5 kills where as I was over 30..we lose I make some decent pay as the only try hard on my team ..
But right now ..If you lose you get ****..no matter how well you perform compared to the rest if your team ..so once you know it's a loss ..why do anything but afk?
Once you know you've lost you know exactly how much isk or lp tour gunna get..you know nothing will change that..hell even if you were on the other side being all serious and try hard you would only get slightly more ..
What's the point in doing anything other than AFKing out ur cap in dust and going to play a different game with a balanced risk vs rewards system

Regarding the OP, I've suggested for a long time, particularly when the state of Amarr FW was pretty sad and our blueberries were not much of an improvement on Caldari, that there should be a reward for fighing well on the losing side. There were numerous occasions on which I would have more WP and more kills than the bottom 6 people on the leaderboard combined and I'm frankly just not that good.
My suggestion would be if you lose but:
- Finish in the top 3 and have more than 750 WP or
- Have more than 1000 WP regardless of where you end up
You should get a small standings increase, maybe 25 points. A lore based reason is that the factions would not want to risk losing their best soldiers and so would reward those who fought well against insurmountable odds. Makes as much sense as giving full payment to someone who sat around playing cards at the rear while everyone else did the work.
As for those who wish to join the Imperial Guard, three things to know:
1) Evenings in the US is when we are strongest. During the day you're likely to get a beatdown from what I've heard.
2) PIE Ground Control has very few squads "based" there (as opposed to those with a primary chat elsewhere who are in the channel to sync or get OB Support), so it can be hard to get the few openings that exist. I was literally one of the first dozen people in the channel and I can't get a squad sometimes so don't be surpised or feel excluded, it's a matter of supply and demand.
3) Amarr1 runs more squads more frequently, so it's much easier to get in, but yes it can be significantly less organized than PIE GC. Being so inclusive/active naturally lends itself to chaos and having a lower average skill level but that's just fine to recruit and train the Amarr stalwarts of tomorrow.

That just promotes boosting lol they could just add some sort of match making so we can fight each other on somewhat even ground. The worse part is that after the player base is destroyed by this fail game play they are not coming back to FW after they afk to get their suit. If my ethics were not so hardwired I would do it myself.
