I posted something about this maybe a week ago, but it never went anywhere. No matter how hard I thought about it I realized no matter what you did you're going to open the door to exploitation and defeat the entire purpose. Then I thought about using some sort of weighted multiplyer. So if you go up against a high SP player with crap gear you still get your bonus, but they don't get a bonus for killing you with a militia fit. Yea, this would make it slower to spec into new categories as an older player but tough crap, this game is about specializing anyway. If you could come up with the proper algorithm the diminishing returns would even it out for everyone.
One thing I think they should do for sure is award a bonus based on the opponents KDR. No matter what your gear or SP level you take out some with a high KDR you get bonus points. This way, high level players trying to screw around with crap fits to get bonuses will help anyone that can hunt them down. Also, high level players with uber fits trying to lolstomp noobs will also help out anyone able to kill them. This bonus should be awarded evenly to everyone that even gets and assist because it's not going to happen that often (which is why they have a high KDR...) and it's probably going to require a team effort so it's not fair to reward only the player who got in the last shot by sheer luck. This won't be a game breaker since, again, the fact that they have a very high KDR, whatever number everyone thinks is fair, means it is an achievement to take them down. Also, makes the super high level players more of an attractive target and that's the cost to be the boss. |

I hate that so much. I do it only when we're trying to deplete the clone supply since the team needs the kill. Otherwise I just wait and sometimes pick off an weakened target. |

I'm usually in the grind it out camp but with this game's mechanics you can lose all your money on that grind very quickly. It does get a bit boring playing the same militia fit and dying a whole lot but I don't think this is all just being impatient. The stupid number of skills that do nothing but unlock better gear. You get into Assault II and you're feeling pretty good so you train up your weapons skills, shield upgrades and whatnot.
Oops, now your suit can't fit the gear you just trained for so you drop your sidearm or lose some armor for a cpu upgrade. The first time you get into a firefight and start to reload, you're already lining up your pistol in your mind for the kill shot only realize too late why you died trying to ping a nanohive off the other guys helmet. A logi runs up and with only seconds to spare finds the mound of dirt 2 feet from the inside third of your left elbow 37 degrees off true north from that totally awesome scar you got on that camping trip a few years ago to bring you back...just in time for someone with a militia issued pea-shooter to hit the wall behind you sending a small chip of masonry hurtling in to your kneecap, taking away the 2 points of armor you came back with. You stare at the ground just long enough to see the logi take a round to the eye from some sniper that spent 15 minutes flying a dropship up to a 2 inch wide window ledge on the top of a building you'd never even noticed before and then high fiving himself on getting his one kill from his "wicked freakin sweet super-secret hidden sniper spot."
So now you're getting 10-15k a match, going broke with a fit that's just an expensive way to turn to some kind of yellow flash paper like a vampire that just made a joke about Blade's mom. You're looking at all that SP for the next level on your suit and then double that to actually get to use all the cool stuff you trained for earlier. So you say screw it, fit some militia garbage, call down one of your infinite noobmobiles and try to ram it in to the face of some proto scout shotgunner strafing you at mach 2 and jumping around like a jackrabbit living downwind from a crack house that just burned down face before you fart too hard on the seat and explode. And did the guy that just jumped over your LEV and killed you with said shotgun go through all that? No, he drove a tank pre-nerf and got 50 kills per round.
C'mon CCP. So many skills give you nothing for levels 2 and 3, not even some token 1% boost to turning speed or something? I'd be happy with a poster of Nicki Minaj for my quarters. But whatever, all that being said, I really do love this game.
