"Victories and losses will now award different amounts of EXP."

Third place should give 0xp. It's the best way to force everybody to make a strong contribution to actually winning, instead of afk'ing and running around solo just because they know the xp will pay off at the end of the match.

come at me

Don't need to, you're plainly baiting.

Third place would wind up just being the unfortunate with the AFK in the group, or the guy with the disconnect, or the person who, like you, is intentionally trolling.

Nobody knows you and the fact you credit a loss to 2/3 people means you have 0 clue what you're talking about. Keep going though, I need something to keep my busy until my client is downloaded.

It does feel like a band-aid onto a larger issue, because now you have the roulette of "which team will have the most afk" - since free exp is free exp, it being lowered will doubtfully change much.

The only people getting punished here are the ones that Play legitimatly.. afkers dont care if they can stay afk even more.

Heh. You're amusing, you know that?

Anyways,

I did not credit the lost to 2/3 people by the way. I was saying 2/3 of the playerbase in frontlines is being punished for the acts of a minority.

I personally wouldn't mind this. Worst case scenario for the team that ends up with the most AFK people is that they're back to pre-4.0 pvp where they wouldn't be getting EXP anyways! And perhaps we could theoretically reach a point where this would create enough incentive for all the AFK/leechers to finally start participating.

Hot take: We should give 0 exp for 2nd and 3rd, and 3x exp for first place.
Disclaimer: This isn't the most well-thought out solution and it comes with its own set of problems, but maybe its worth thinking about.
