3 medals for 524k healing ~~ nice medal system BW

That makes no sense. DPS already get a ton more medals than healers simply by playing how they should be playing. They don't need healer medpac medals and that doesn't help the team in any way, which is why that should be removed. It doesn't encourage team play to pop a medpack to keep your own arse alive and you're not even technically healing anyone if you have no healing spells to do it with - common sense. Healer's currently don't get a ton of dps medals even when we try to contribute some dps, that's already been discussed a ton here. And even with that we still get less medals.

I see your still making as little sense as you were at 3am this morning earlier in the thread. Good to have you back.

your the one that said dont let dps get cure medals......so why should healers get dps medals.....

Except that 90% of those medals are obtainable just as easily for DPS.
DPS can get these much easier than Healers.
Assassin – Killing a player in a one-on-one fight
Commando – Killing 10 enemy players
Anihilator - 5K damage from a single attack
Quick Draw – Getting a killing blow on one player
Combatant – Dealing 75k damage
Destroyer - Dealing 300K damage
Demolisher – 2.5k damage from a single attack

They can also get these by spamming cheese medpacks.
Trauma Surgeon – 5k healing
Medic – 2.5k healing from a single heal from a single heal
Healer - Healing 75K

If a healer does his job and ONLY heals to keep his team mates alive he will get 3-4 medals. You are forced to DPS as a healer which wastes resources especially in a close match where your healing is much more useful. DPS can get 8-9 medals just fulfilling their intended role. Medal system = broken.

DPS don't have heals so it makes no sense for them to have healing medals when they can't actually heal. And they can earn their fair share of medals just dpsing. So that works out.

Healer's can't earn enough medals just by doing our job. But we can earn more medals by dpsing and we can actually dps because we do actually have damaging abilities, so it makes sense that we can earn dps medals. The reason why this is not broken (whereas DPS earning heal medals is) is because we can never earn more than one or two dps medals if we're healing in a WF, and even then we have to put forth a lot of effort to do so. DPS doesn't have to put forth much effort at all to get all of the healing medals. That is broken. And even with healer's getting one or two dps medals, we still get less medals overall, hence the thread topic.

Could try something like:
Only class abilities count toward healing done (no items)
Change total healing and total damage medals to 75k/300k/1000k COMBINED healing+damage
Add damage/healing-per-life medals on par with protection-per-life
Change Defender Point medals to Objective Points medals, but make defending worth bonus Objective Points

Edit: I'd also add a medal for interrupting 10 casts during the game, but that's debatable

Re-read my post. I didn't say I did 350k and 250k in the same match. In the matches where I heal in the high end of the range I tend to do less damage and vice versa. I've done 350k healing 150k damage in matches though, and 250k healing 250k damage or thereabouts.

As far as screenshots, sorry, I don't take them.

There are a thousand more of you crying about an issue plaguing them and saying the same thing. They can't fix everything at once, and if you wanna help them, get a job there.

If you prefer farming medals over winning then do your 300k healing and then switch to damage. If you want to win, keep winning though.

This is an issue that people have been asking about since before the game came out, and the only thing any Dev has said on the subject is the below. We know changes take time, but this is why we're still posting about it, because Bioware has said nothing for months. If someone at BW came and said they were aware of the issue, here are our thoughts, you will or will not see us address the issue in a future patch soon or not so soon. Anything at all will make people stop talking so much.

The only thing any Dev has said regarding PvP healing is the below about the heal debuff. Nothing I can find about the medal system, and even on the debuff topic he said basically nothing.

"That's pretty much it. The trauma debuff is used to offset PvP and PvE group balance involving healers against on the PvE balance numbers numbers. We could also just change the numbers (health, damage) in the rest of the game to achieve the same effect, but that'd be much less efficient." - Georg Zoeller

I love that there are no medals for objectives
