Thread: Doctors need faction points for reviving players
I thought about the exploits too, but think about it... If we get say 10% of a person's faction (what is that, 3 to 5 points per rez?), it would takeabout4deaths to equal one NPC-worth of faction and 10 deaths to equal one player kill. Add in the fact that there is a long timer after rezzing where the person is not allowed to do anything, and you can see that there are MUCH better/faster ways to gain faction.
I do agree though, that it must be carefully considered. This is not an end-all solution... but we need SOMETHING to give us faction. Dark Age of Camelot has a similar system for realm points, and it works great. Otherwise, there is little motivation for a pure doctor to get involved in the GCW.
Devs are looking at the GCW sometime soon. This issue is on that list.

Wouldn't take all that long since the entireprocess can be AFK macroed. 5 fps per rez every 2 minutes = an AT-ST every 3 or so days.
