This is actually quite easy:

1. Pick a mech that has a lot of missile hardpoints and at least one energy hardpoint
2. Put a TAG laser on the mech
3. Put at least 7 tons of LRM ammo on the mech
4. Put as many LRMs are you can fit on the mech
5. Play Conquest but don't capture any points
6. Put a quarter on your TAG hotkey, or just hold the button down or whatever
7. Run around the match and LRM people randomly; make sure to maintain TAG
8. Don't help your teammates unless you can get kills out of it
9. Aim mainly for fresh Heavy and Medium mechs.
10. Don't bother shooting at Light mechs unless they are NARced.
11. Don't bother shooting at any mech that is already heavily damaged; you won't get solo kill or most-damage rewards.
12. Profit

The following match was a solo queue drop on Conquest using a Summoner with 1x TAG, 1x LRM 20, 1x LRM 15, and 1x LRM 10. This match was a disorganized mess, with both sides boating LRMs. Including the Dire Wolves - especially the Dire Wolves!

I got a lot of c-bills last match with my LRM60 Warhawk with dual tag. Sadly the end of match screen ended before I could screenshot everything. This was just a regular Warhawk. It wasn't a prime with 30% cbill bonus. D:

So the reward system basically says "Go LRM or Go Home"

There is no doubt that PGI is trolling us.

Now, that explains why I thought LRMs were even worse than usual last night...

So if I lose a torso on my warhawk I still have another. Pain never ends.

Seriously!?! You posted a thread JUST below this one bitching about rewards system and how you weren't going to play any more and how bad the game was.

Then you put this up.

You're the exact personality on these forums that is just toxic to the game. In the future learn to play and read before complaining.

Don't forget the sliders to reveal the XP and Cbill rewards breakdowns. That's really the information in the screenshots, not just the big font sized numbers.

The devil is in the details.

More matches using the LRMonner
I'll post a loss as soon as I get one.

Notice in the 2nd match how I got a lot less C-Bills even though I used the identical tactic and piled on a lot more damage.

i've been doing this even before the patch because it helped me as well as everyone else.

I have 2 LRM machines and each one I sacrificed a missile slot for narc. run around, narc targets, watch the rain and let me keep on firing.

my goldenboy lives up to the name in a sense because it is my best cbill grabber.

Yeah guys, please show the subtotal numbers so we can get an idea of what you're earning without premium/hero bonuses.

If you bothered to even read my posts:
  • I didn't say the game was bad
  • I didn't say I wasn't going to play any more
  • I said the reward system encouraged bad behavior
  • I am giving examples of how you get rewarded by bad behavior
If you're going to criticize me, don't just make up lies.

It works perfectly fine in solo queue, but you will find that this behavior makes you a liability in group queue. People don't stand around letting LRMs rain on them.

LRMs have been making more money than "honest" play for a long time.

You fire at least one volley at A,B,C,D, etc.....

It's been a long time since I've seen a game where you would get 300k income however :P.

Yea, LRMs could always get you money, but never great money. Now, it's the best way to get money consistently.

You don't need lurms, you just have to stop being bad pilots.

But then again it looks like you can't aim in the first place which is why you can't resist the lurms.
