you want to talk mathematics and logic? "Let them win" shaves what, 1 minute of game time tops? Meanwhile in 1.2, contribution will be a large factor on rewards payout and winning is a bonus. As if that minute were even anything to begin with, in 1.2 it's a huge payout difference after you've already invested so much in the match.

You want to talk fun in a video game? Yeah, didn't think so. The just lettem win crowd has no argument there.

So really this is about you not being able to handle losing a game and pretending it's cause you're less efficiently grinding rewards. You try to say it's about time cause you're losing to try to cover up and justify feelings you don't want to deal with.

I don't think I can condone such action. I mean, if there is no real way to win, it is understandable ... but I have seen 3 or 4 people in a team give up within the first 2 mins because things didn't go there way. They end up just sitting around waiting for the ship to be destroyed .. not AFK as such, but they may as well be.

TBH, I haven't seen that sort of attitude in a while, but when I come across it, well, its annoying. It seems that this may not happen come 1.2 though, but I am not too clued up on those changes yet.

As I said, I have mixed feelings. I am not the OP, by the way.

I do not find it fun to know, with between 5-12 minutes left, that there is no possible chance of winning the WZ. I wish I could get more into the "red=dead" thing, but I am objective minded. Running around aimlessly zapping red nametags to no avail is not "fun" to me. Particularly since we're losing, the chances are good that everyone left their brains in their gerbils for the match and that is also a bit aggravating.

Real problem is that BW invented a WZ where there is such a problem as "the math don't work". I think they envisioned close matches, and I've been in a few (which are a blast). Unfortunately, while pugging, most are not - they are complete blowouts for one side or the other. And the math is inexorable.

I hope 1.2, aside from making my healing a LOT harder, brings something good to the table.

There's a statistaical point were it's not possible to win.

You're saying that when it's still possible to win you should just give up?

Loser.
