Am I the only one who's realized waiting the last few seconds for the enemies hack to finish is a huge boon? |

Nope, it is strategy.
It takes less time to hack and you may get points if the hack succeeds, if you cut off their hack you get the most metal gift ever: NOTHING
Risk: they may spawn while you hack - so choosing to not let their hack succeed is a spawn denial tactic as well - though you sacrifice points, like repping - no points but it is still important. |

I like WP as much as anybody but if I'm there alone I'd rather stop the hack so that the reds don't start appearing at the objective. If we have a team I'll wait to hack and get the points.
Stopping a hack should earn more WP than the initial hack. |

I agree, it should, but it does not, so stopping the hack is often a lose/lose. (and I understand not doing so in close matches, that's not what I'm pointing out) |

I mostly run logistics. I'm already not getting WP for repairing my team. This is like saying its better to let my guys die and then revive them instead of keeping them standing and sending rounds towards the enemy. If I stop a hack its for tactical reasons beyond getting WP. I'm the only one losing out if I'm at the objective by myself and helps us win the match by keeping the NULL cannons pointed at the enemy MCC.

Let's not forget you also just gave 100 WP to the enemy by letting the hack go through. |

Nothing I love more than that one, lone red dot killing me whilst I defend an objective across the map from the redline fest currently being held at my teams spawn, who then proceed to...not stop the hack.
I'm a nice guy, so I spawn in my drop-uplink and wait patiently for him to start re-hacking the objective. I become so moved by his ingenious strategy that I can't help but dispense my shotgun at his face, a bit prematurely though. The hack he plans to farm just gets stopped, as i'm kinda already there. |
