2 teams One is randomly put onto red team the other blue. Eventually you will be put on blue team. If I recall correctly the "red resign" stopped when they started watching and banning the resigners. (usually temp) myself included. *one of my 1st excursions into gw pvp and was told by team to resign * thought was norm. Learned my lesson.
Hmm....
How about: only the winning team get the reward for the PVP Daily?
You'd still run into the Red Resign problem. People on Red would resign knowing that the coin flip eventually puts them on Blue, where they'd win.
The Guild Wars solution of watching the PVP arenas and banning the resigners doesn't work here either because I doubt Cryptic has the manpower to watch these things, or review all the after-action logs for evidence of match-throwing.
I'm certainly in agreement that something should be done about the AFK farmers. I just want it to be well thought out so that we don't introduce something just as bad, or perhaps even worse.
If the potential for a stupid exploit exists - you can almost certainly guarantee players will find it!
Yes I admit that I frequent the warzone less and less. Frankly I have over 4 MONTHS of in game time spent in kerrat. I am not saying I played there for 4 months... I am saying I spent 2500-3000 HOURS in Kerrat in the first year of STO.
^ here's where you said it. so one could easily assume you havent been a serious pvper in the war zone for a year. if So you arent ina position to comment on war zone fun because you dont participate anymore. and a lot has changed i've heard.

i reread your post also.
so.. you pvp 3 to 4 hours... a week.
which is long enough to get your dilithium quest daily.
maybe. Assuming you do that everyday.. that's 30mins per day. Doesnt sound like you pvp anymore.
Even if you did pvp.. that's what, a 2 hour session on monday, 30 mins on wednesday.. and an hour on saturday and sunday? Definitely not the playtime of someone that loves - enjoys - wants to - pvp in the war zone. going from 8 to 10 hours a day to 3 to 4 a week is a pretty clear indictment on some critical mistake on cryptic's part. Unless you just got bored. forgive me if you answered this in your post above. I do bore easily of reading the same ole arguments.
I spent almost every night in the warzone from dusk till down for like a month and a half since F2P hit, and before their brilliant bugged daily dilithium warzone idea- just like u use to.. back a year ago, according to you. unless what you typed isnt to be believed.
I just wanted to add that, aside from the AFKers, the low tier ships and shuttles should be blocked from the public queues. There is one guy in particular who across however many characters he has, I've never seen in any queue with something other than a shuttle. How hard can it be to block out these guys, while leaving private queues as an option?
It's almost as obnoxious as ridiculously long drawn out character attacks on a forum.

Zing!
I've seen a lot of shuttles in STF's, and know a few players who enjoy doing it, but I have only seen 1 in PvP, ever. Still, it p'd me off when it happened. Seeing it frequently would probably send me into a nerd-rage of epic proportions.

Say what you mean to say.
LOL
Kerrat is not the only PvP in STO.... I PvP 10-12 hours a week now in STO yes. Think about what I posted a sec.... (your argument is like saying a guy like Micheal Jorden would have nothing useful to say about basketball any more because he no longer hits the court every day... someone who plays the game as much as I did can keep up on the Small "or lack of any" changes by poking in for a few hours here and there yes)
in the first 12 MONTHS of launch... I spent a total of 4 MONTHS of REAL time in Kerrat.... I stated I don't spend that much time there any longer yes. I will spend 1-2 hours a week in kerrat these days... yes that is not alot when I would at one time spend entire days there. Reasons are 2 fold... one Yes I am sort of board of kerrat... really the main reason is its full of Sub Par PvPers and mainly I was board with the lack of PvP. The warzone farm reward was a joke... yes there was people there but there was not really any PvP... the farmers the zone was full of where a joke. At least now when I head there I will at times get a half way decent fight. Seriously though the games good PvPers don't go to kerrat they que for arenas... and even that is becoming less and less... sadly.
