No.
Just no.

I don't want to lose X War Points just because I'm actually willing to risk any ISK I have invested in my suit and am playing the map as it should be (ie going for objectives). To make this sort of suggestion have any relevancy, you'd need the penalty to be notable, which means even more people would fall into the habit of removing themselves from danger altogether--something that makes the game less fun overall.

Plus it would would make Ambush even less popular than it already is.

"If this has been said a 1000 times.."???? Lmao who would suggest such a horrible idea?

Worse idea ever. BigggusssDikuuuussss, smallest brain.

lol, you just described my game play down to a T.

If people think that taking away WP's will do any good, it won't. Less WP means less ISK and less SP. Which means I'll be running in militia/skinweave gear longer and continue to run around the map with my "Devil may care attitude."

The problem is that you haven't made a compelling argument to convince anyone that the current system is flawed,other than if you have more kills that the other guy,you should be higher on the scoreboard,which isn't a good argument to begin with.

You made a bad suggestion that you failed to justify in any real way, nobody liked it, so now you're going to take your ball and go home?

Ok this thread reminded me of what was implemented in another game (one of the all time best!) Metal Gear Online.

Now the way the penalty system worked was a three fold approach: 1. Emblems 2. a number ranking 3. a letter rating.

The emblems were probably the coolest of the penalty and award system. Say if you had a lot of head shot kills, your emblem would be a Eagle. Conversely if you died by a lot of head shots you would earn a Sloth emblem. There were many emblems in the game, and I suggest that people go look them up and come up with some of our own.

The numbers I think help see where you are to the next Letter level. But you just don't keep increasing, there are penalties for doing bad and advantages of doing good. Say if you die by a player that isnt as good as you, you lose prestige. If you kill someone better than you, you gain prestige.

There are many ways to find out the good players and the bad through stats, but to make it publicly known is either an incentive for people to do better (for those that care) or a badge of honor and also a good recruiting tool.

This way you wont really be punished but there is a social aspect that shows what type of player you are.

First of all, this belongs in Feedback/Requests.
Second, this is a horrible idea, so horrible in fact, that I am angry I can't find the -1 button.

The other player is actually much more aggressive and possibly better at the game.

He fought in 22 engagements during the match and you fought in 11.

Your fix isn't useful or good as it would discourage aggression and fight seeking.

The risk tuning should be done elsewhere.
