Hi ya'll,
This isn't really a bug but I had this happen to me today. I was playing a mercenary battle and was killed by an enemy out by an outpost where there weren't many buddies around. There was a logi on my team and he got me up with a nanite injector, yay! But not yay... 
Apparently this logi had a buddy on the other team, so he keeps on reviving me with a militia injector and his buddy keeps one hit meleeing me to death again. They killed me 10 times in about 15 seconds this way, until someone on my squad interrupted them. If they didn't get interrupted, they could have kept this up the whole battle and I would have lost 100 suits. There was nothing that I know of that I could do, I couldn't even move or change suits or even get to the start menu fast enough to commit suicide. I was dead again before I could flinch. After I spawned again, I followed the logi on our team and watched them trying to do this to other people and made sure they couldn't.
So here's how it works. Two buddies join two different sides of the same merc battle (one or both with a nanite injector), wait at some out of the way point until someone walks by, kill them, then start spawn killing them over and over. Both players get points since the logi gets points for reviving and the guy on the other side gets points for killing. Endless loop of points.
It could have easily been worse, I was lucky I only lost 10 suits. This could be fixed by putting a cooldown on nanite injectors or just having a prompt that says (Xplayer wants to revive you, accept?), or something like that. Pretty sure other games have this mechanic already for this reason.
FYI I forgot to check the name of the guy on the other side who was getting the kills, but the logi on our side was named Dance With Shadows from "No Parley" corporation.
Cheers,

I'm not saying this didn't happen at all, just that you may be exaggerating.
I promise you I'm not exaggerating, I had only died one other time in the entire match and it was earlier in the game. So in the post-game report I saw a total of 11 deaths and 10 of them were in a streak (visible on the nice handy graph provided, with little red dots all lined up tightly in a row). I can say with 100% certainty that it was 10 times. It is probably easier to do now since the patch made nanite injectors easier to use. |

I am probably wrong about the Logi getting WPs, I just assumed he was. I have never revived someone multiple times like that, so you are probably right that he wasn't getting WPs and was just helping his friend get points for kills. |
