    Currently it is very difficult to get enough credits for a class in MCCTF and I understand that it is designed to be that. I think it is better that few people have these special classes then everybody having them but I think the teamwork aspect of the game is slowly dying. I don't know about you but during the game I care much less about if my team wins then I do about killing enough people to get a decent number of credits. I think one way to bring back this team spirit would be to give the winning team double credits. The players would still required to gain credits by killing people and capturing the flag, this would just be an extra motivation to work better with your team for a larger goal then killing that one player, or recovering that flag.

    (New part: One of the issues with this, as stated, would be donors just switching to the team that was about to win to get double credits. Somebody in the comments had the great idea of eligibility to get double credits and I have tweaked that idea a little bit. All players joining before 2/3 (or 4/5) captures are completed would start eligible for double credits. If a player that was previously eligible switched teams, they would become ineligible.)

    Please let me know of any issues you can foresee with this so I can edit the post.

    My only problem with this is that someone could easily switch to the team that's winning the second teams become uneven for extra credits.

    It would be nice if there is a timer for when you can change teams example, when theres one flag left to capture you can not change teams, or if the timer is close (5mins or less or something) you wont be able to change team either.
    Idk that's just a simple solution to the suggestion of the issue that might be a problem.

    What about getting double credits for playing a.) The Entire Game b.) Without Switching Teams c.) and being Victorious.

    There should be a command or a button you can hit that is like "Opt-In for Double Credits"

    Where it keeps you from switching teams, and tells you if you're eligible for double credits. It should say you aren't eligible if the game has been going for 2 or more minutes and you just joined.

    I really like this idea. Only issue I see is the one that @Spookyfrogdog said, but that could easily be prevented by not giving credits to people who did /switch in the whole game. +1, gonna bring it up in staff chat.

    An easy solution to the switching issue would be that players can only switch during warmup.

    I'd agree with the others. If you're gonna get the double credits for winning you shouldn't be allowed to switch. I'm all for more credits for winning games though given it would become an incentive for objective gameplay :smile:

    I like these ideas, I think winning to get credits is a need to have and to make this work we would probably need to have every player start eligible for double credits and if the playing joined with 2/3 or 4/5 captures already done, or if they switched teams then they would then, become un-eligible.

    Great Idea! I've always thought it was pointless to win, but add this in and I think It would be a lot more fun +1

    Would be nice to reward the team that had won. The team switching would be an issue, but can be resolved I think.

    Currently I think the system is fine, and adding something like this will be too easy to abuse.

    We don't need more ways to gain credits anyway, we need more ways to spend them
