definitely something people are wanting fixed. CCP has said they intend to address it in the updates thread here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=34746&find=unread

Anyway, yep.

thats what i wanna know, and thats not entirely true, its more incentive but you'll find people who will do it just to win the game

Warscore gives orbital strikes. Orbital strikes give kills. Doing it from the safe zone means kills with no risk, which means KD/R padding. The WARRIORS for instance do this and it contributes to their high KDR. To what degree, I don't know. Never seem to see them on the field the few times I've been against them so I want to say a lot.

Also, warscore contributes to your SP reward along with kills. So they are also SP farming, but mostly WP farming with the decreasing returns / skill point cap in place.
