So i had a theory, i tested it and well it worked.

Fastest way to make money is very simple, shoot your teamates and make them kill you. 10-20 seconds of play and you're +60k cbills. I tried this in a trial jenner. Im sure if you get a hero mech or founders, turn off auto repair/rearm you'll make 25-30% more.

Honestly, this games reward system is jacked. Team play, effort and skill are not rewarded. Selfish, solo play is. Gamers will always take the easist route to their goal, this is fundametal so the reward system needs to take this into account. Make it worth are while to go out and play as a team.

15 whole posts. Well, if you're not already in the [REDACTED], you should go out and start the Troll squad. Pick up ZF while you're at it.

This is also a good way to be a pinhead and make sure nobody has fun. Like we need more players actively sabotaging the game; it doesn't need any help being broken. Yes, it's jacked. No, it doesn't need assistance in ruining peoples' gaming experience.

It works until your account gets banned for it, and if you habitually shoot your own team, you will get reported and you will get banned. It might take a week or two, but all those c-bills will be gone like you never had them.

The reward system might be sub-optimal, but this kind of exploitative behavior is still bannable. Probably shouldn't admit to it on the forums, just in case no one reported you that one time you tried it.

You all realize this is beta, yes? Have you been in a beta before? You're supposed to find cracks in the system and report them. This is a crack in a sub-optimal reward system.
On a side note it does not take any intelligence to figure out how to do this so you are not reported ever. But hey since you guys are so sensitive about your game that's in beta god forbid someone makes light of bugs or errors.

Sadly not warrax, thus far there is no game ban, only forum ban.

tried getting banned for afk farming a different account to see how they where contering it and i can still play with said account, just can't post here with it.

sadly it's just has the op said, the game reward system PUNISHES good play. and that needs a HUGE revamp to change it.

nope dude, it's not a bug in sub reward system, the reward system was thought off like this. its just that after 2 to 3 months of open beta, they still cling to this crappy, outdated and gamebreaking reward system and refuse to make any changes in the games economy, thus favoring farmers and exploiters.
