IIRC score for LWO and LWB are aggregate. I see no reason for LW perks to be split.

I dont see benefits from perk separation. If someone want to farm a few perks he can do it in any arena.

Actually it will.  The only reason these players go to the EW and MW arenas to farm perks is because these arenas have low populations and they can farm at will with little interference.  These perks aren't used in the EW or MW arenas, they farm them so they can use them in the LW arenas.  So by having perks usable in the arena you gain them in will stop the perk farming since they won't be able to blow the perks in the LW arena.

I see what your saying. So the guys that lack any knowledge of how to use the 262s I shoot down get their perks in empty arenas? Not that I care about those guys but your right if this catches on it could be a problem.

Farming perks in empty arena is easier for sure, but it isnt mean its impossible im MAs.

These perks aren't used in the EW or MW arenas, they farm them so they can use them in the LW arenas.  So by having perks usable in the arena you gain them in will stop the perk farming since they won't be able to blow the perks in the LW arena.

They will just go to MA and farm there. As side result you will have ever less ppl in EWA and MWA.

Not only do they not know how to fly the perk planes or fight in the perk GVs, they also lack the skill to gain these perks through normal game play.

The perk farmers that go to other arenas like MW and EW, do so because they are not only perk-ride dweebs, but also score wh*res.  Since the scores are arena-specific, having your squaddie kill you 58 times in a half-hour in MW will not affect you (and your squad's) score and ranking in LW.

If that's okay with you, then so be it though it does say a lot about one's character to condone such negative behavior.
ack-ack

I don't think he's condoning it so much as he just doesn't care about it. I think it's silly and don't think highly of it but at the same time, I don't care.

Let's face it, if you're that rubbish at the game that the thought of farming perks even crosses your mind.... well, it's only a matter of time until their perk rides add to your own perk account.

Bugger it, let the spanners tool around.... When they do cross your path they'll be an easy kill.

Edit:

I should add that I also agree that splitting the perks into EW, MW and LW is a good idea, though.

Sorry, but this bugs me every time someone says it.

They will just go to MA and farm there. As side result you will have ever less ppl in EWA and MWA.


Early war, Mid war and Late wars are all Main arenas.  No matter how more people go into Late wars compared to Mid/Early they are still "[name] War Main [color]". :aok
