Crazy idea - let server admins set kill and cap point amounts

[Cat_in_da_Hat]

A server might want to encourage more players to get involved with capping so the admin could increase the number of points for capping by triple or more.

Players will definitely cap more to get at the top of the leader board.

Once people start getting used to it, perhaps you reduce the capping points amount.

Too bad snipers and mgs, you stay on the bottom.

It may work but you may start a war of the servers where an admin would inflate points to a point that might make it unrealistic. Also it may open it up to abuse as well.

Sounds like a god send to potential point farmers (99999999 points per cap anyone?). You would need to get rid of the unlocks or progression for this to work

I see your motivation for the idea, but also see the potential for widespread abuse. This smells like an unranked server to me....

Yeah you are all right I guess.
I don't put too much stock into the whole levelling up weapons so I really didnt see it as a barrier when i put up the post.
Once upon a time RO life was far simpler. You played the game, learnt skills and strategy and that was your advantage. Now everyone wants to Lance Armstrong it with perks.

I could not agree more. I feel that I am a better player after 100 hours from experience and skill honing not because I get Mg drums and enemy weapon load outs from leveling up.
