personally, I see no issue with #2 or #5, but I support #5.
I cannot see why people would have an issue with #5. A person is still being fairly rewarded for their participation in a match. If they earn 2k WP's, they get 2k SP to match - more power to them. Most will not even earn the 1k SP cap in #2, so why is #5 bad?
Quote:No lifers would grind 3x as much SP as the average casual could get with the high soft cap. Closer to 6x as much with the uncapped method. How is that an advantage for casuals?
Before you say grinders, what is to stop the grinder from grinding 1k SP every match and getting ahead that way, vs not having the soft cap and grinding the same way. Even a casual player could grind all day if they wanted. I honestly do not see what the big deal would be. What is the difference in you as a casual earning, on average, 600 SP per match vs a grinder earning 600 SP per match??? And if you think these "grinders" always earn 1k+ per match, you my friend are delusional.
Even if it is capped at 1k, if you only earn 600 WP on average (which = 600 SP after cap), they are going to get ahead anyways. I use a booster, so if you have not been using one, I have 2x the SP you do already.
And honestly, as a Logi, it's already hard enough for me to get WP's considering the caps in place, so if I can manage 1500 WP's in a game, I would like to be rewarded for it as that means I put in A LOT of effort to get there. And if a single person is getting 3-4k WP's in a match...... shame on the other team. I don't recall ever seeing someone with that many WP's (aside from the previous farming issue); even in a redline situation. And don't say "they were in a tank / Dropship and..." Get your squad / team together and load some AV fits.
And tbh, once you reach ~3 mil SP, you should be specialized enough where you would be on an even playing field; even with the grindiest of grinders. The only difference would be options available. They may be able to use a tank and a heavy, maybe you can only use a heavy... again, they just have more options. You cannot go beyond LVL 5 on a skill. |
