Syncing
I am pretty sure you all at CCP know what this is. However, just in case you do not, it is when corporations with multiple squads get into Instant Battles at the same time by timing when they enter. Overall, this is a very very good thing, and enables most all of us in corporations to play together without corporate battles.
But I have been getting the impression from some matches that this might be getting abused. It seems apparent sometimes that corporations that have squads on opposite teams, are having one of the squads be purposely ineffective resulting in less resistance in winning and getting more money and xp for the other squad. And also making it a less risky proposition to bring out tanks, dropships, and other expensive equipment. This might not be rampant or even important, but wanted to state that I have noticed it on a couple occasions.
Remote Repair
I know that some people in the past obviously used this skill to boost. But because of a handful of buttheads, this very valuable trait should not be made unrewarding for everyone else. In some way, war points (and SP) have to be awarded for repairing armor once again. Right now, at the very least it take up precious cpu and pg (ISK and SP too if you choose), but it is completely useless in terms ROI. That must be changed. |

If I remember correctly remote repairs still give you WP, but alot less since it needs a certain amount of time to keep repairing in order to get those points. |

Repair Tool
The current hotfix removed WP from the Repair Tool as a stop gap fix to farming.
The removal however is a temporary measure until a more reasonable fix can be implemented.
I 100% agree with you that the current state of the Repair Tool is suboptimal and if it were intended to be a permanent mechanic would be flatly unacceptable, but since it's not we Logi will just have to roll with it until the better fix is patched in (life in a beta you know ;) ).
Syncing
I could be mistaken but my current understanding of the ISK award system is such that I don't think this could be used to turn a profit. It would be more effective ISK wise for the squad 'taking the fall' to simply donate ISK to the Crop and let the Crop pass it along to the other squad.
However this could still in theory be used to "throw" a match in favor of one squad or another as a method of farming WP and thus artificially enhancing SP gain. I haven't seen syncing used in this exploitative way myself but I think it's on the shoulders of each Corp to prohibit this sort of behavior in their members (if a Corp does not then IMO that gives CCP legitimate grounds for sanction against that Corp).
I will be keeping an eye on this in my matching from now on, thank you for bringing this up.
Cheers,
Cross
Additional: One thought does occur to me, there are times when the "A" squad from a Corp ends up on the opposite side of a match from a group of new recruits. This could look very much like one squad throwing the match in favor of the other when in fact it would simply be experience winning out over inexperience. Just something to be mindful of. |

Great post, man. I definitely might be misinterpreting things. I just try to make mental notes of things as I play and give good feedback. |
