I first started playing as a Sniper. That got boring and I switched to a Logi Bro during the Closed Beta and the servers weren't even up 23.5/7 I could easily sit in the top three positions and never kill anyone. I rarely equipped my weapon in fact.
However, there were exploits and exploiters.
Hit a wall with you LAV and rep it. WP!
FF your squad (however you figured out to accomplish it), rep them, WP!
Hit but not kill your squad with the LAV, rep them, WP!
Best yet, have two Corp mates on different sides of a battle. Kill a buddy in Red, he gets revived and kills your Blue buddy whom you revive. +60 for each side, nearly as fast as you can pull a trigger and use an injector.
The list was endless.
CCP stopped the exploits and which resulted in what we have now. WP for Logi Bro activities is meted out with a timer as well as WP. Pop one guy twice, only get WP for the first time. Rep too many too quickly, WP stops after some time value has been triggered and no more rep WP until the timer expires once again. Mercs get upset because they think a Logi Bro is getting +60 each time they stand them back up. Not true, dear Blue not true at all.
As to the Militia Rep tool, if it serves the purpose why use something else? Well, the only real reason is Corporation Battles frankly. The other reason is trying to squeeze functionality into a limited CPU/PG envelope. Once CPU/PG boost is Skilled to the max that is rarely an issue.
Back to the Nanite Injector, forget it. That is nothing more than a WP exploit free lunch. The limit is there for a reason. And it is limited specifically to stop exploits. The sliding scale of WP vs equipment has been suggested many, many times. But nobody has yet come up with an exploit free suggestion.
Higher level items are much more expensive. The Blues will rarely pickup a Logi Bro as it is normal to be the only one around in non-squad battles. In my normal Squad that is not the case. Pub stomping picked ups are rare and each death cost as much as a GEK equipped Assault A series. So why spend the money in a pub match? I do but only when my Corp mates are my Squad mates. |
