Please reduce the Esotheric reward for the team that finished 2nd and 3rd

This is a great idea, and it seems simple (mathematically speaking) to dish it out. An easy 1 Esoteric per 40 points earned in Seize mode. This way even if you know you're getting second place, it would encourage people to continue playing rather than giving up. Maybe some of those players who are now not giving up will see how it's possible to completely turn around a match at the last moment. So often have I seen one team 50 points away from winning and half my alliance just gives up and stops. But then I have matches where a team is 50 points away and we run in, slaughter them, and steal their points to win the game.
