Net gain over 24hr period = 99 rated and regular warzone comms + EXTREME vulnerability to being detected using a third party program and banned.

99 warzone and rated warzone comms a week = 693 for both. Just enough to buy ONE piece of battlemaster equipment. Again screaming to the sky over something that is not going to give ANYONE an advantage over an ATK player.
Those kind of tool swill allow the player to recognize the WZ and park their player at point where they could collect defensive medals and it will also target and engage enemies. So they will get medals and still be afk and useless to the team.

Don't shoot the messenger. Just pointing out a well known fact among long time game developers. It is amazing to me that BW made this mistake.

So you can argue all day if your petty ego requires it. But you are never going to be 'right'.

You simply have an opinion that the exploiting will not be rampant. I am simply stating that the change allows for the exploit.
How was the exploit not being used prior to this change? If you are botting you are doing it while at work/school/sleep w/e. Even before today's patch you could still bot your way to 3 wins because eventually you were going to get those. So now it is faster? That is about it. The botters are still going to bot because they are lazy and want the easy comms. Today's patch isn't going to bring an influx of botters into the game. Unless that is what you are thinking? The exploit was always there since going into a WZ as a bot was a roll of the dice either way. This just speeds up the daily only for them. Still not going to make them stop botting the whole day. Did you think when it was 3 wins people were not botting before? Or do you think because they were botting before they never got their daily completed? Again exploit was always there this didn't change anything just how much faster they finish the daily.

Not that this change really effects anything, but the bads will think it does and that gives them all the more reason to camp a tower and cry about how gear/you aren't good enough so they win every game.

Personally, Im losing my will to log on.
Understanding is the true weapon of a Jedi and willpower is the iron clad arm that wields it.

Just makes the exploit easier. Again... the point is simple. Rewards based solely on participation encourage botting.

Maybe we should change the daily to "Spend 2 hours logged in" so that people on low pop servers can get theirs done too. I used to "play" a game like that, it was called progressquest.
Oh, now we're getting somewhere. So you're saying that this change is to address issues of low population server. WOW, that's amazing. Yea but I think cross server queue would work a lot better :P

FYI, those that care about winning and enjoy the competitive nature of a "good" pvp match, also do not like playing against a team that gets steamrolled. Because it really isnt about "winning" as it is about enjoying pvp. Some of the BEST games I have played were when we lost too.

This change has greatly improved my PVP experience. I can finish my dailies and do other things. Dont listen to forum criers. This was a good and needed change that has improved things big time.

I like this patch, not because it rewards people who afk or glide but instead doesn't harm the people who end up with them on their team. Dailies shoudn't take 3-4 hours, I think BW found a great sweet spot.

Try education... or reading comprehension (have you actually tried Google, you're missing a fairly critical component when you only point out someone potentially holding conflicting cognitions).
