The issue being if as a pilot your spend all game capping nodes and winning the game for your team but haven't spent any time fighting you score will be much lower than that of a guy who spent the game shooting stuff and ignoring nodes.
This is pretty much the reason i ignore capping for the most part even in a light mech, since my role is NOT to get less cbills than everyone else in the match including the losing side i just outcapped.
On the plus side, most other people feel the same way so cap rushes dont normally happen. once all bases are capped it generally turns into a brawl then one side chasing down the last mech.
