I'm afraid I do not understand. :)

I'll edit this post once I find the relevant quote if I find it.

EDIT : here, and do a find / ctrl-F on "7th legion". Question is named "Can we earn rare 7th Legion rewards from Incursions?"

Thanks for the confirmation. That explains why I got only rare even when I'm ranked on top. And Market, thank you too for the reply!

AGREED!

Same thing happened to a few of us in Dawn Patrol as we were running an Incursion siege yesterday afternoon, but I can't remember the exact location on the map... a few of us had completely different scorecards at the end of the match.

What the jekk, Trion? C'mon man!

I'm glad that someone started a thread about this. I did an incursion last night at Kenn Farms that had 50-100 people present, and a very large percent spamming the map with boomers. I only saw enemies for maybe a second before they were gone. The Hulkers would be onscreen for maybe 15 seconds before the rounds would end (ending on like the 43rd round!).
I know that there is a segment of the population who are total score-wh.ores who think it's all about Numero Uno...top guy in that incursion had over 2 million total points (with 50+ people participating in it).
Too many people have ZERO honor when it comes to those events. I play with a small group of people and we ALL play for the req'd points and then bow out or try or break shields for easy kill points for the guy that needs'em (unless of course we are on a barren server).

Volge Sieges-40k (get your points and idle)
Afflicted Sieges-27k (get your points and idle)

Trading forum doesn't show any signs of this letting up though...several new post about "WTB Big Boomer"...***sigh***

Just sad...

Indeed. It's gotten to the point where I'll either use a Sludge Rocket and aim at the ground just to get the assist points and a piece of the drops, or I'll do that once or twice just to get some kind of score then stand around dancing until it's over. I'm not going to fight other people for kills/points.

I've bugged Trick and Dahanese about the greed-inspiring game play that was made much worse by the addition of Sieges since they put them in. It was a problem from the start with people running over Skitterlings at Ark Falls. Made infinitely worse by the scoring system at Sieges.

If the rewards were not dependent at all on your final score, I really wouldn't care much. However, they way they have it set up, many people seem to think because they hit 1st on a leaderboard that they are in some way benefiting over everyone else. Beyond hitting the minimum, it's just jekking other players out of their chances at a better reward.

Sadly, talking greedy people out of being greedy is about as pointless as screaming at the wind to stop blowing...

Another point made to me by a clan mate (read smart ar...), at ken farm incursions, ask if people want t10 guys to help either:
A) help clear mobs till hulker spawns.
B) help damage but not kill said hulkers.
C) or just drop spikes and heal.
D) combo of above.

I guess, its just down to the mood of the pugs at that time. Thoughts on this?

There is a slim chance that this is going to happen. 90% of the players at sieges don't care about other players and will get as much points as they can. I only do the volge and i will do ken farms. all of the other ones you guys can have.

You can't even get people to wait for 24 people to do the wm. this is a fart in the wind that no-one will catch

90-95% of the players don't frequent the forums. They haven't got ppl bytching at them to not run up the score. They haven't got a "rule book" that tells them anything.

Ppl post threads like this all the time but a huge % of the player base aren't involved in these conversations. In my opinion, you're trying to inform ppl that are already informed. Useless.

Seriously. If you search the archives, you'll find several similar threads. All saying the exact same things...

On the topic of etiquette I no longer care about starting a siege by myself. If I was there first and no one was around I used to send it out in zone chat to try to get people come and would get crickets or a very long wait. However as soon as the siege starts it seems to draw people in. Now I'll just say it in clan chat that I am at whatever siege and start it.
