As several others may have noticed, when an enemy's hack is in progress, players have the option to cancel their hacking. Players may have also noticed that doing that takes way longer than hacking the objective normally. Personally, when I play a match I play to win (wp be damned), so I'm more than happy to take the time to cancel a hack to help my team; however, considering how long this process takes and considering that it's actually helpful, shouldn't players be rewarded wp for these actions? |

Yes.
Concerns about it being farmed aren't significant when it takes so long to counter-hack. |

Farming it would also require a friend on the opposite team, in which case there are better ways to farm.
Constant stream of LAVs to blow up, dropship with a CRU hovering for an enemy sniper, etc. |

You may not get WP for counter hacking, but you do prevent the hacker from getting his 100 pts.  |

Two things to consider:
First, how strong is your MCC versus the Red MCC? Any hits when the shields are gone is not good news.
Second, how many OBs have been called? None might indicate that letting them have the 100 WP is enough to be let your Squad get the gentle massage of Lasers From Space. Not always a good idea.
Personally, I always counter hack. Keeping WP from the enemy is always a good tactical position.
When I am running Logi Bro I always repair as well. Even when I have hit my personal timer of WP caps and receive nothing for doing so. Mercs not killed means 50 WP not allowed for the Reds. Reviving means fewer Clones not lost so we survive that much longer.
I like it the way it is now. It requires making a tactical decision and having it over rule the personal gain. If I am Squad Leader I insist on it. If not I follow the SL direction even if it means allowing the hack to go through. |

Denying WP to the enemy, denying a potential forward spawn location to the enemy, preventing damage to your MCC...
Looks like enough reasons for me. |
