Everybody seem to complain about extremely low SP and ISK payouts, and poor salvage.
Except the farmers.
CCP haven't told us how these things are calculated yet, but I think that for a given match, there is a fixed amount of ISK and SP to be awarded, this and Salvage is shared between players based on their WP.
If this is the case, then the farmers are doing far more harm to their team mates than previously thought, as they get ridiculously high WP numbers, and therefore run off with the majority of the loot.
No proof of this, but it is a valid hypothesis.
Addition 1:
In games where WP farmers are active, I've noticed a dramatic decrease in ISK/SP payout, and if I recall, so far NO Salvage to me on those matches. |

Imho that is also a problem. They release new builds just before weekends and vacation times, meaning there are no one around to take care of major issues, like this.
I'm still hoping the cheaters are paving their own way to perma-bans. In the EVE universe, which the DUST is a part of, using exploits for gain unwittingly means the gains are taken, within reason. Using them KNOWING they are exploits always result in a ban. |

Exploits in EvE where not fixed instantly, they sometimes studied problem awhile to find best fix rather then fastest fix. They also declare it an exploit, if they don't then sandbox allows it.
This farming seems to be very damaging, so it should be an exploit. It seems to be dropping the number of active testers/players more then the hard crashes last build, CCP will be able to tell better then me of course.
I don't blame the farmers, it's not declared an exploit yet, and it is better to have it pop up now then when in open beta or after launch.
I actually think it has been declared an exploit. If not in those exact words, there were a number of threads closed/locked yesterday, all with the same CCP DEV message, that this were a known problem, and they were looking to fix it. |
