Hmm, let's play with some numbers.
Domination are usually the longest games. Let's say you are in game for 15 minutes.
15 x 60 (seconds) x 5 = 4,500 SP. You need 15,500 more SP from WP, which is 7,750 WP.
That isn't easy to do but it is *possible*. Get a friend to put a Heavy suit on with an HMG, get to doing super Logibro, and you might hit it. If the game lasts something like 12 minutes, you need 8.7k WP. Again, possible but not easy. I have hit like 6k WP as a Logi and as a Tanker before. It is possible.
But it isn't really going to happen without boosters. Hitting 1,000 as a Logistics is not that hard. Hitting 2,000 as any good squad player is also not that hard. But the games where Logistics players hit 7k WP are the ones they put on YouTube. Even Shayz game where he pulled 5,625 WP with someone to rep only netted 14,175 SP, pre-boost. I know we all like to say that we are all some kind of gods that go "pfft, 5k WP every game every time no problem" but it simply is not true. Look at the games where it is an absolutely stomp. You see 1.5-2.5k in the tops. The games where we get those huge numbers are the ones where we take pictures of.
I can pull 3k+ as a Logistics player with my dad going Heavy with a defend order. And, yes, that is with cheesing it so he is taking damage from people far away and I am getting +30, +30, +30, +30, +30 while staying completely safe. I can say that 3k on a decent game of domination is not very hard. But there is a far cry from 8k.
Possible? Yes. But I don't think I can believe the number of people that have said they can or have done it without at least a single booster. The calculations (X is how long you expect a match to be in seconds while Y will be the WP you will need):
(X * 5) + (Y * 2) = 21,000. No booster. 8.7k
[(X * 5) + (Y * 2) x 1.5] = 21,000. 1 Active. 5.2k WP.
[(X * 5) + (Y * 2) x 2.0] = 21,000. 2 Active. 3,450 WP.
[(X * 5) + (Y * 2) x 2.5] = 21,000. 3 Active. 2,400 WP.
WP needed assumes X is 12 minutes. So, no boosters is nearly impossible, 1 booster is difficult, 2 boosters is a great game, and 3 boosters is a good game (in my opinion).
