A certain amount of WP you can earn in a set period of time? That was my guess as to what was going on, but I wasn't sure. The devs should have known better than to do that. Do they realize that people in this game (and in life in general) are driven by incentives? When you put a limit on the number of points you can get in a set amount of time, you're just encouraging players to not repair the armor of other players.
But I wouldn't criticize without alternative solutions (blinding simple ones at that):
1. Remove the limit on WP per set amount of time, change the reward from +25 to +10.
2. Remove the limit on WP per set amount of time, change the reward from +25 to +2 or +5, increase the rate at which WP is gained.
So that's it. Remove the limit, give less points. Incentives regained. |

No, sir, I don't like it.
I think you can limit the effectiveness of farming by reducing the amount of WP gained. What's this about capping for the week? I don't even know what that part in parentheses is referring to. |

Sometimes i get a ton of points maybe 75 to 100 from 1 heavy! Then the WP just stops for a minute or two then i get another large burst of WP.
I think it is kinda silly. Instead of cutting off our WP just give us a lower amount instead of thinking the game is broken half the time. All a lower amount of WP would do is make those exploiting it need more people doing it or more time. If there's no limit to WP from triage, I will have a team mate continually damage themselves and heal them while dropping orbitals and cackling madly.
I guess I would assume that triage WP could only be gained from damage sustained by enemies. If that's not currently how it works, then forget it. If that's not the case, then that's the first thing the devs need to work on: Triage WP can only be gained from friendly units damaged by enemy fire/grenades. |

Some guys abused it and farmed high WP for orbital strikes.
There are ways to limit farming, one just needs to think of the right conditions for legitimate WP gain and adjust the game rules accordingly. |
