Well there should be some drop off. The whole idea of the corp battles is to win the zone for whoever is hiring you (or at least it is in theory) and showing off a little. It's still a beta so I'm not sure the 1mil ISK/SP even matters that much to be honest, I just figure if you're going to give prizes, you shouldn't give a huge prize for first and then absolutely nothing for second, etc (for the reasons you pointed out) but it also shouldn't be "everyone gets a participation prize regardless of outcome" because that's the antithesis of what Corp battles are.

When the game is live, I couldn't agree more! Right now, with how hard it is to get SP, 1mil to just the winner (as you said,) is ridiculous. During these initial tests, though, I do believe everyone deserves at least a participation prize. Winners get more, sure, but... What?

And the battle finished, now there are none. +A problem. There were only two people in my group, yet when we entered the lobby before entering the game, a third player came into our squad without invite, yet he got the Squad leader spot. Later in that match I got disconnected and sent back to the MQ, and were unable to rejoin the match as the server were already full.

On the other hand, judging from the corp battles, Zumari players could use the boost. :P
