Average match time in QP is around 7 minutes, in FP closer to 20mins.

Not asking for 3x the points but exactly the same doesn't seem right.

Why not ask for 3x the points? A FP match is more than just a time commitment, at least if you're trying to do well. I know, not everyone goes into FP with that mindset, but still. Regardless, I'd agree, more cache points for FP sounds reasonable.

That is conflicting. Remember when a challenge is around for fp and the bads casuals show up only to get farmed and leave with grumpy "hurr durr fp is bad" comments on the forums? I wonder what x3 cache rewards would do.

[Nightbird]

People would still avoid FP if they always lose because they would earn more cache points in QP if they win occasionally. The time commitment is the same after all so you gravitate to the mode with better earnings.

Geez that really makes sense....

Slim chance then that it will get done.

PGI hates it's CW players, they have repeatedly told us we don't matter.

You'd have to tweet Russ to get it fixed.

[Nightbird]

I did tweet Russ when I created this thread

[justcallme A S H]

Good stuff. Only way issues get fixed.

Maybe I'll make an account too and back you up

let them wine... we need to reap!

[Spare Parts Bin]

I agree with the OP. Increased effort should commensurate with reward.

[Bishop Six]

When was the last FP event btw?

Man thats was cool, Steiner vs. Davion...so much salt on both sides, so much fun!

And Tukayyid...what.a.battle.

Why the hell should i buy mechpacks for QP?! That doesnt make sense.

Most of them expect the opposing side will go easy on them and when proven wrong, refuse to adapt. Some of them eventually step up to the challenge - it was that way for me - but majority will never change because it's easier to whine and blame others than admit the problem is with themselves.

[Yondu Udonta]

Make it 5x or 10x. Since with more incentives the more players there will be. If you have a pool of above average players playing FP and you oversaturate it with noobs the average skill level drops so the noobs won't get farmed as often, maybe once awhile but with the increased incentives it outweighs the tears they shed when they get DZ farmed.

You people are crazy, now everyone go play solaris 7!

I buy mechpacks to support MWO when they make decisions I like/support/think are good for the game as a whole.

It's been awhile, since Civil War update...

Playing QP w/respawn instead of CW is the quickest and most efficient way to be clubbed.

I do not see the incentive to play Solaris 7 at all. I what alot of videos and I see people making 40K-60K C-Bills per match. In FP my worst game was 179,000 and my best almost 1.2 million C- Bills. The reward should be higher for FP.

PGI increased the rewards, and earning patron tiers also improves your earnings.

It's still 50-75% less cbill earnings in Solaris compared to QP and FP.

Solaris became boring and pointless 1 week after introduction, BUT WE MUST ALL FORGET FP AND PLAY IT BECAUSE PGI SAYS SO

Imagine what kind of deadzone this game would be if they went with the plan to close CW.

Well, dont have to actually, Solaris is dead now. All the pilots I drop with are here for CW, they won't go play Solaris, they would quit playing altogether until CW opened again.
