I find it pretty weird during Skirmish you don't get any points for defending anything. Standing next to A the entire time and I only got assist points and kills. Shouldn't there be points to encourage people to defend?
Every 30 seconds reward whoever is defending with 15-20 points? If it's 20 points every 30 seconds that means, in a 15 minute match, you get 600WP at the end for defending. If you spend the whole time defending, obviously. It would be nice to get something out of it other than, well, nothing. |

Or you could get more points for doing things like if you had a defend order on you |

I doubt they will give away points in such a manner. It would be far to easy to simply huddle around a point and get some free wp's. Imagine on the abc map 1 team on a one team on c and only a few adventerous people fighting over b. |

Seriously, this. Consider the potential for exploitation when suggesting means of acquiring points. |

Why not just make the number small enough that it doesn't overly-incentivize defense to the point of exploitation, but still rewards players who are actually helping?
If anything you could just tack on an additional 5 or 10 points onto a kill or kill-assist if you're fighting within the general area of an objective in Skirmish. Doesn't make it so you can just stand around doing nothing all day, and encourages people to work together and defend rather than just playing ring-around-the-rosie with objectives. |

should only work for specific actions, like a 50% WP for a kill on someone actively hacking, 25% for a kill within 10 m radius of an objective |

MAG failed at its fair share, but they succeeded in the reward system. The simple task of STILL issuing a squad order to defend something, you were rewarded for being near that objective when you killed someone, if you're defending something that wasn't getting attacked, you weren't defending or scoring.
Low and behold, CCP has done a similar thing, so use what you have, its only going to get better.
My argument? If you're not getting enough points defending it from attackers, it probably doesn't need you defending it. CCP could however improve on the radius of this mechanic, and make attack orders, and defend orders being followed more handsomely rewarded to the squad-mates following them. 10 more per action, isn't exactly paying my sp bills to begin with or truly scoring orbitals.
On a side note, following orders should get you paid more, so people who follow more tactical leaders make bigger bucks. Especially with the new matchmaking coming up, more warpoints means facing other people with more warpoints, which may have gotten to you similar mark solely killing where you've been sitting on your rump at Charlie picking your nose. (Not specifically you, but blueberries in general.) |
