So the other day I got 1400 war points with only 1 life. How? I wasn't spamming off the map. I was putting defend orders on my squad mates.

When you put a defend order on a squad mate then get a kill near him you get 125 points per kill. Then if he kills someone you get 75 points for being squad leading. Each capture that you order nets you a ton of points as well. Putting defend on a squad mates gets you 33 points for each revives nearby. It also gives the squad leader Orbital strikes. Which net a ton of kills. I like to save them up for later battles.

Listen to point is I now never go less than 2100 warpoints and the isk and sp pay out is great. But... this bothers me, becuase I would rather SHARE my sp and isk rewards with my squad. Seeing as kills lead to warpoints and each kill anyone nearby gets gives you 75 points, that's an amazing incentive to be squad leader.

So what would I like to see changed? I would like to see squads pool up the totla warpoints of all 4 squad members, and then give out skill points to each member of the squad evenly. This means that by following your squad leaders orders YOU get more skill points. By having a good squad with everyone doing a good job you all get paid more.

This also makes running in a tank of squad mates much faster for leveling. *this is ok thought because there is a weekly sp cap to prevent abuse* I like how crazy high the squad leader commands are. But I think this game would become better if everyone in the squad sahred exp. At least make it optional? So if I as sqaud leader want to share my sp gain I can turn it on or off?

Anyways I would love if people could talk about/debate the benefits and negatives to treating dust like it's an old school rpg with 4 members that share exp gain.
