I would rather go the route that it requires some minimum contribution to get rewards. The thing is- the best system that I saw compared each person's performance against others in in the same job for the same match- even with hundreds of players- so that eliminated some obvious ways of getting rewarded for no contribution.
Agreed on all points.

Without job-specific thresholds it'll just be a new path to abuse. Like if it was damage-based, you'd have the non-combatants do something like drop a SCH plague and then go hide.
