The reward system in this game is {Scrap}. You barely get rewarded for doing anything but killing in the game. A great example was last game I had in my Locust I made 4 caps total (initiated and finished all 4) with 7 assists. My reward? 50k C-bills and 100 exp..... =/

Meanwhile I do a conquest game in my Jagermech, get 5 kills and 3 assists, made NO attempt to cap anything at all and made out with nearly 900 exp and 150k cbills.

You need to balance out the reward system so that everything is some what balanced, I should be getting atleast in the same range of digits for doing over half the assists in the game and capping out 4/5 points, instead I get nearly 1/3rd the reward just because I didn't have kills... which in a locst btw is GOOD LUCK.

I stuck lrms on my 3s locust just to do long range damage while surviving just to grind it up faster. The thing needs speed tweak asap.

I really shouldn't need to do that, doing what I'm doing now should net me a good deal of reward, much more than what I'm getting any way.

Refer to 32 min 25 sec:
Did a shout out Garth about ELO Hell match making when it comes to people trying to legitimately grind the Locust variants and it was ignored.
My team has 2 Locust versus the NGNG pre-made team whose fast mechs comprised of ECM light and Cicada.

Also shout out to the Boastful Gammadin, the self proclaimed triple master Locust pilot. You make it sound so, easy !
I see did an amazing 37 more points damage than my Locust, an amazing 69 point damage in your Thunderbolt.
You are a 'Good' pilot you say ? I find that hard to believe.

Seriously PGI.. There is no role for Locust in this game and it is hard to grind legitimately with class based ELO matchmaking.

Anyway.. I am working on the Elites now.. Just got speed tweak for the 1V(P).. Going to grind Speed tweak for the other 2 Locust ASAP... It is the single thing that increases their survivability by a little bit more.
