Part of the lore is that dust mercs can expend their lives without fear or care. thats the whole point of the exercise, and negative WP detracts from the mindset, dust mercs are supposed to be insanely aggressive and fearless, their bodies as disposable as bullets.
They are supposed to be dropped into situations that normally governments would balk at as needlessly wasteful. because there is no messy retreat, no men trapped behind the lines and taken prisoner. If the MCC pops or the situation is untenable the commander punches in a code and all of his soldiers simply drop dead to reawaken at HQ for a massive asschewing, and to resupply and redeploy.
Your merc even fitted in proto costs less than a full platoon of gallente volunteer soldiers but can accomplish as much. He costs less than a swarm of amarran paladins or minmatar valklears. Caldari megacorps do not need to pay his family death benefits.
Life is cheap. failure means you have to fight the same war tomorrow. killing and dying is now a nine to five job. dying means nothing, and losing WP upon death detracts from that attitude, and the feel of the game.
In EVE corps like goonswarm, test, the DRF, Pandemic Legion and many others routinely commit trillions of ISK and lose it in battle, and the capsuleers simply grab another ship and get back in the saddle and regroup or fall back. DUST is not, and should not be any different. Let the thunder roll.
And these are the guys who will bankroll us if we prove we are useful, effective and unafraid of doing what it takes to win. for the cost of a single HAC, one dusty can be kept in full proto everything... For a month of nonstop fighting if hes a combat ******. longer if he is a badass. |

Actually the best way would be to simply show what armor is your most-used.
If you have an atrocious KD and your favored armor is logi, people will be more interested in your average WP from droplinks, hives, revives, hacks and reps than kills.
Bad KD with a scout probably means yer running hacksuit to ninja objectives. highly useful.
Bad KD in assault means yer new or you suck, or yer running utility. link your hackfit so you dont get laughed at.
BAD KD heavies wont change for most until the proto suit question is resolved |

Nanite injectors are actually most efficient in the hands of assault. they can move a bit faster, and take bigger hits for combat recovery. if assault does that i concentrate on reps over triage. works phenomenally well overall. |

add a bonus payout of 100 ISK per warpoint.
You get more WP achieving than killfarming if you think strategically. I do the logi thing, usually get a 2/7 KD and wind up in the top three 90% of the time.
reward value to the team. Killfarmers will get cookies but I can get more WP faster with reps, hacks, assists and revives than you can just rocking out random murders. |

If I have 10 kills and 1 death and another player has 11 kills and 11 deaths, no way they should be atop me at the end of the match on the WP "leaderboard". Not that those "leaderboards" mean a darn thing, but still,,,, this encourages silly camping, get out of here noob L2go30-0
and ye shall know the troll by his name, for he claimeth his Epeen is greater than yours with the mere mention of his name. Plus he makes obviously idiotic posts that even Obvious Troll who is Obvious takes issue with.
and Alm1ghty your logical capacity approaches that of a schizophrenic three year old with a Pixie Stix, so you don't get to say much here. You're the one of the ones I see most frequently calling for nerfs to anything that can whack an assault suit running an AR, without a biblical-level miracle behind them so you don't get to call others to task for trolling.
But its a sign that things are getting rediculous when a troll this obvious gets SRS rezponz |
