Give perk points for assists

[Vraciu]

Dude, seriously?  Nobody is "hunting for assists" because they get nothing for it.  They gang because they want the kill and a big crowd affords them safety while doing so.  Right now, only one of the gang wins the lottery.  If you get your way, the numbers of "winners" of the fight increase and ganging will get even worse. 

I don't even understand how you could get satisfaction from perks "earned" this way. 

No it won't because you raise the threshold required to get anything to begin with.  And if guys start stealing other guys' kills there will be peer pressure brought to bear.

The fact of the matter is the score system as constituted is a mess.   There is real-life precedent for partial kill credits.   There is none for a Ping-based assist. 

Gangers will always be there.  My solution to gangers is flying a Pony or a TA and running when they show up.  I carry plenty of fuel and run them out of gas or ack drag.   They're always gonna be here so punishing players like the OP for the behavior of a few is foolishness.

  The OP's contention remains valid.

It does not look like the preponderance of respondents are in agreement.

Yes.  The crowd was always right when Jesus was around, too.  

[Vraciu]

There is.

Do tell.  I can't find it.  I am too easily baited by people like him.  Best to squelch so I can remain calm.

[SirNuke]

no, worst idea ever, would make ganging a viable perk source.

No.  It is the way to refuse committing suicide when ganged by a flock of clowns.

hey bud....its a game you don't really die...

and you wont learn squat by running.

turn and engage them at every opportunity....and before you know it...you will have very good SA...timing...and the ability to actually fight and kill....

then when you get into a fight with 1 or 2 baddies...they will die....the more you practice the combat thing the better you will get.....

trust me..... flying the way you do...you will never be able to take on 5 and kill them all....I have done that on a couple occasions...and my aim sux arse.....

winning 3vs1 is far more thrilling then running from 3......

if you always run...you will NEVER learn to fight.

You may be right, but with that many I am usually dead in short order.   The best I have done is 2:1.  Got them both.  Once.   Otherwise I die and my pride can only take so much.

I took no offense to anything you said.

[Vraciu]

Hmmm...ok.....that's somewhat logical, but if you had focused on just killing one you wouldn't be getting 3 assists.

I focus on one but ping the other two.   So many times I have set up a buff formation only to kill one and have two bail for no credit.   A ping on each guarantees a kill if they bail, assuming I am the lone attacker.  Learned that the hard way.
