    3rd place should get nothing, NOTHING, in frontlines

    I'm tired of people going afk, or saying "I'm just in it for the soldiery", or saying "we're going to lose anyway" and then going awol.

    3rd place should get absolutely nothing. Not even drone/node kills should count to achievements at 3rd place. That would encourage people to actually play.

    If that'd too harsh, maybe something like losing by 300 points at 3rd place should get nothing, cause it means the team is full of people just standing around at the op doing the manderville "farming soldiery".

    NO! how bout we give nothing to those who dont try? Because hell if I'm going to play frontlines when my team loses ALMOST ALL THE TIME when I KNOW I did my best. I have played 58matcges and out of those 58 matches twin adder has won 6 matches. I coordinate with them always tell them the right time to do stuff and how to do it (FIGHT ON THE FLAG FFS) all that good stuff and we still lose. Me and my Ls would not play Frontlines if we did not get points if we lose. Gow bout you go on a losing streak and see if you would want that implemented then.

    Report those AFKers, but don't punish the rest of the team for their existence - they're already suffering from the fact they're outnumbered because of those *****s.

    Or make it contribution based! Then people actually taking part don't get penalised.

    Or just let the vote dismiss work during combat in Frontlines.

    Ok I agree it's a bit harsh for the other players. But something needs to be done. There either needs to be a kick system, make it based on contribution, make the afk detection better, or give better incentives to actually do something. Or maybe make the soldiery given based on 1st, 2nd or 3rd so people don't just stand around for the soldiery.

    I'll admit I don't have it as bad as 6 wins out of 58 matches (I'm 34 out of 76), but I've had too many matches of people just trolling or doing nothing, or people just not playing to win (like wearing glamour gear in frontlines to "look better") while the rest of the alliance is busting ass using potions and stuff trying to salvage the run and get a 2nd place.

    But seeing how they took care of the botters in 4v4 pvp (they did nothing, people went from r1-40 purely by botting even after getting several reports) I bet they wont do anything. All I can do is vent frustration on the forums.

    Getting nothing for coming in third place is too harsh for the people who actually make the effort to try to win but I agree with your sentiments - something needs to be done about all the AFKers and leechers who do not intend to contribute in any way.

    I disagree for not getting anything when you are in third place. If people are going to do AFK or AWOL, I would recommend dismiss them from duty to replace, it is a basic solution.
