Renegade Asura Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 10	Posted - 2012.10.08 23:20:00 - [1] - Quote seeing on the score board, players are having 0 kills 0 deaths but 1000's of war-points. They are taking their LAV's, ramming them into hills and have someone repair the vehicle for war-points to call in orbital bombardments. The system for gaining orbital bombardments needs changing so that it doesn not get abused. or else teams can hide behind the redlines gaining war points.

It is a known problem, CCP are looking at it and have acknowledged that this is not intended to be this way. In other words it is a bug, and the ones doing this are exploiting this bug. Luckily for the rest of us, and our sense of fairness, CCP tend to take a dim view on people using exploits. People caught in doing it deliberately tend to not be heard from again. First time offenders who are deemed to not know any better tend to just have their gains removed, crippling them in the process with negative ISK wallets. I guess SP as well on DUST.

Lusneic Roid Rage Academy Friends United Seeking Influence and Notoriety 7	Posted - 2012.10.09 00:02:00 - [4] - Quote There is another way of doing this with a HAV and a blaster, by shooting the blaster into a wall or building. People doing this are prity safe from OB depending on the HAV health. The splash damage from the blaster means there are a lot more players able to rep the armor. When I tested this with a squad of 4 we got about 20 OB that's over kill
Governor Odius Doomheim 177	Posted - 2012.10.09 00:09:00 - [5] - Quote I'm a dropship pilot and logi. Most of my means of warpoint gain do not involve me getting kills. Just sayin', don't report me for having 1000 WPs and 0k0d.
Renegade Asura Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 10	Posted - 2012.10.09 01:43:00 - [6] - Quote Bravo Ghost, D0C HOLLIDAY, and a few others from Vilore Sec Ops 0/0 7000 WP?

Most of my means of warpoint gain do not involve me getting kills. Just sayin', don't report me for having 1000 WPs and 0k0d. That will definitely be the trick -- how to reward "legitimate" non-combat activities (hacking, repping/reviving, driving, etc) without allowing for total abuse... Seems like repping damage caused by your own team shouldn't count for anything (if you can truly track the source of damage, as that seems to be the predominant abuse. -Max

Do what they did on MAG. No points for friendly damage (or damage caused by crashing) repairs. (Someone else on another thread suggested this)

dent 308 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 967	Posted - 2012.10.09 14:06:00 - [13] - Quote Having a group of truck bumpers on your team means less guys are working the objectives. Plenty of orbital strikes don't win fights. Holding the field wins fights. As much as truck bumping is dumb and exploitive I hope the fix doesn't harm the actual fulltime logi players who are doing their jobs.
Sandromin Hes Sand Mercenary Corps Inc. 204	Posted - 2012.10.09 16:09:00 - [14] - Quote Also, squad leaders get passive points, so don't blame me if on a small chance I get a k/d of 0 and still have 1000 war points... I tend to keep myself protected in the squad, but still put myself in the action.
Maffia- Thug 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 62	Posted - 2012.10.11 04:17:00 - [15] - Quote Forgive me for being dumb. But, what actually gets you war points and if anybody knows that, what is the break down of each item/task?
xSniper1982 We Are Ready 12	Posted - 2012.10.11 04:44:00 - [16] - Quote WARRIORS INC.... 3 of them in a 6v6 battle boosting WPs for OBs... this needs to be fixed, they all ended up with in excess of 4000 WP each... and i know they weren't capping objectives because i was killing anyone that came near me and not once did i come across any of them. Please guys don't use exploits like this, i hear that you're actually pretty nice people and it's a shame to see you doing this. This needs an urgent fix by the DEVs or the game is going to be all about who can boost the fastest.

Way to kneejerk CCP!
