What really should happen: A complicated reward system based on time invested/performance.

Until we get 8 man teams back you're just as likely to have an AFKer "playing" against you as with you. Until we get community warfare I don't really care.

- Spotting and Spotting Assist
- Damage (till max 400 or 500)
- Kills
- Salvaging
- (Premium Bonus)
Win = income x 1,5 or 2
loss = income x 1
Afk and Suicide = full repair costs but no income ... problem solved

When they switched from closed beta to open beta all you founders said they "reset" everyone to zero right??
What happens when open beta switches to ?.....can't they just "reset to zero" again???
How in the world did the MWO source code get cracked in the first place? and why in the world would anyone write code that can be overwritten on their own servers??
Who had the access to to crack the code?

I'm pretty sure you're just trolling, but just in case anyone unknowledgable decides to believe you, having a script is completely third party and external to the program and doesn't require anyone to look at the game's source code. It's just the functional equivalent of having a virtual slave hit keys and move your mouse for you.

the only thing that will really stop suicide farming is to remove the pay for just showing up. pay for spotting, capping, kills, damage, etc etc, zero pay for just entering a match and then dying
no more suicides 5 min after this goes into effect

or at the very least, a FULL account wipe, including reducing their premium time to 0 if a founder/paid for additional time, and removal of all mechs in mechbay.
You want to suicide grind... fine. Enjoy having NOTHING.
tbh I think that would actually make things worse. I'm farming a bit right now, it's the most efficient way to make some cash. If they wipe my account it just means I have to start out fresh and do that much more farming.
Obviously the intelligent thing to do would be to just spend 5 minutes fixing the problem and stop giving out rewards for overheating.
As long as all the matches are filled with AFKers and farmers I'll do the same. If you can't beat em join em.

Haha, yeah I have a strange fascination with going after cataphracts for some reason. I need help.
You should hear him in chat, he sounds like homer simpson seeing a donut when he spots a cataphract...He gets all depressed if someone else gets a cataphract kill heh

but these folks that are suiciding, and cbill farming with actionscripts (and you know who they are because we have seen them on a number of occasions) these are the folks that do it... then advertise in game chat that they just did it and basically gives a big FU to everyone else in the game
they need to be banned or whatever action PGI deems required. and it should happen immediately

- Person crashes? Reconnect button lets that driver get back in their mech (with whatever new damage it took while driver was disconnected)
- Person afk and not disconnected? After set time period, remove mech from match, only give whatever he earned up to that point (no end of match stuff)
Simples!

The AFKers and suiciders are not even trying to play the game. For some reason they are just trying to earn c-bills without doing anything. SOme of them are quite well known, and even if they decide to actually make a real mech and play their reputation is ruined and they will most likely get TKd as soon as the match starts.
If you have a random crash, or overheat and blow up in the heat of battle it is not a problem. Crashes happen, and you will learn how to manage your heat better, but sometimes you really need to push it and you blow up anyway. I have never seen people get mad at someone blowing up from overheat 10 minutes into the match while they are fighting another mech. They might tell you to change your build or learn to manage your heat better, but they will not be calling you a suicider.
