Increase rewards for losing team

[Alhanelem]

If the winners get machine guns and are told "You're allowed to shoot your enemies in the knee caps since you won this tournament", yes. That's an issue. The perception of the team being better and thus being more desirable to be on is not a mechanical aspect of Football though it may affects a team's performance. That Cup isn't a +9 to Field Goals or something.

But, you know, that's fine. Take it out of context.

You argued that there is no reason for wiinners to get more than losers. That's the kind of (I hate to say this) "carebear" attitude that sucks the fun out of the game. Also back on the football analogy, better teams get paid more money and thus do have something of an advantage in terms of signing better players to their teams. So yes, being on the winning team in the NFL DOES have an advantage (just not as arbitrary as your sarcastic 'cup of field goals +9" quip)

As I wrote in an edit to my previous post, if you have a problem with people having better gear than you, then play lv30 or lv40 cap battles until you earn the gear yourself, since PvP gear isn't needed for that and thus everyone has the same machine guns and the same ability to use them.

I am hardly the most hardcore or most pro PvPer around, but I was still able to earn my gear. I don't have some super ridiculous win rate either. skill matters more than gear and as I mentioned above, if you really have a problem you can play capped battles where the playing field is more level in terms of gear (but in the event you keep losing i'm sure you'll find something other than skill to blame it on)
