I remember that the QP players in lower Tiers sometimes destroy "Alpha" and "Beta", not quite knowing what these items do (or do not do).

The higher Tiers players just ignore them outright. It makes sense: If you are so close that you can destroy "Alpha" and "Beta", you are probably so close to the central circle that you can attack enemy 'Mechs directly.

Even in T1.

Maybe make it so you don't get points for blowing the nodes unless they change the timer(or at all if this is too hard)? It's probably worth some xp/cbills/ms when you pop these, right?

To my knowledge, the destruction of Alpha or Beta does not give any CBill- or XP-rewards.

Exactly. Destroying them early does nothing but protect the opponent's timer later in the match.

Forget it. This game is abadoned. They only do minor bugfixing, map recycling and release mech packs.
I bet not more than 3 people run the whole show.

Well not quite true:
- no new Mech Packs
- there is only Matt who is trying to keep people motivated by events
(I don`t know where your other two people fit in)
