Idea Winning has meaning!

I agree with you that maybe the winning team would get rewarded somehow, and that the 'randies' would do their best more to help their team win. However, the credits idea isn't BAD, but it has a bunch of flaws:
-Some person can come in 10 seconds before the end of a game and pick up easy credits he/she doesn't even deserve.
-Some people can go afk, -or in my case go to the forums in-game- for half the game and pick up credits for something they weren't even really involved at.
- (I sometimes do this one)- People will just hang out on CTF basically talking in global, making chit-chat, not really into the game, just talking with friends or the community. They don't really do anything to help their team win, just stand around and basically 'be there'. So these people (like I said I do this too sometimes) ALSO get credits for basically just showing up.

All with all, I agree the winning team should maybe get rewarded somehow, but not with credits.

 

Still 5 credits too much for someone who does nothing.

 

When People go afk and get credits, Ctf should have then a Afk-remove thingy (It kicks them when theyre being afk for 5mins)

 

I'm torn on giving credits for winning a game. On one hand, ctf is an objective game mode, so rewarding players for playing objectively just makes sense. However, there are so many opportunities to abuse this that it becomes questionable.

If credits were to be given for winning a game, it would have to be a small amount to help prevent abusing, but large enough so that it actually means something. With all this in mind, I'd rather not have credits for winning games.

 

no.
you get credits for capturing, which indirectly leads to winning or losing. You get credits for killing, which means you'd win in the event of a tie. You get credits for recovery which helps prevent you from losing. All of these things indirectly give you credits for helping to win. Also you could do nothing and still get credits because your side won, which is crazy. Should get credits for helping, not get credits for being on the winning side.

 

With /switch you could easily farm credits
Big no no

 

i agree on this but team switching destroys the idea ://

 

As wonderful as that sounds it could easily be abused.

 

Then why has there been teamwork in CTF for the past 5-6 years?

 

As @Proterozoic said, if you help your team a lot, and you get a lot of kills and caps and recovs, you help your team win. And with those kills, caps and recovs you get a lot of credits. Even if your team loses, and you've done well, you can still earn credits even if your team lost. And if you win, it's a reward for working hard. The less-hard workers get less credits, but still win. Winning may LOOK like it doesn't have meaning, but it does. You gain skill and experience from playing and learning HOW to win. This could help in the search of a CTF team, in which wins DO count and are important. You should do your best even if your team loses everytime.
