I know this is going to annoy a lot of people because everyone uses squad orders to constantly boost their WP gains (I actually feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot here) but I think this is something that needs to be done for the good of the game.
Let's really look at the purpose of squad orders - they aren't there to provide extra points for doing stuff you'd be doing anyway. They're there to direct squad members to specific locations to protect/attack them.
I rarely ever see anyone using squad orders to point their squad towards a specific goal. I rarely use them for this purpose myself because it gets me more points to put the defend order on my best player and have him rack up WP for me.
As a compromise and in an effort to encourage people to use the squad order ability to actually order their squad, make it so that the player with the defend order on them doesn't gain extra WP or commission, only the squad members near to them. That way you'd still be able to tell your squad to defend one of your members but wouldn't just constantly gain WP meaninglessly. |

I agree, how it works right now makes no sense, and is just used to farm wp. |

Agreed. It's currently just used to bump WP gain. |

Agree. Feels like housekeeping to have to maintain the order on people while playing, and turns a potentially interesting feature into a distracting annoyance. |

I agree that people mostly just use it to get more WP, but I also think that putting an order on a teammate can be a useful order/tactic (just is rarely used in such a way).
I'd be fine with removing orders on people, or leaving it and just removing the bonus WP for squad orders. |

if you are worried about people farming WP from placing a defend order on them wouldn't it give out even more WP if every one around the person with the order on them got points for getting a kill? but it would make more sense that way if the people defending the person with the defend order got the points. it would help keep people stick close to the rest of there squads. or if any squad members killed some one 45m or closer to the defend target. that way a sniper could get a bonus for killing some one sneaking up on them.
also only give 5pts for the kill to squad leader and 10pts to killer |
