Well, tbh... I've never payed attention to points. I mean, I look at the scoreboard every so often to either check my position in the ladder or to check to see if I'm hitting my target at the edge of my range (score will change if I hit something). But I don't think I've ever noticed the exact number values that have changed or taken note.

But then again, I don't play in clan matches and I don't have a need to do so, so don't take what I say to heart.

However the reason why I responded was to reference something you said:

Quote:

It likely subtle at first, because what person would start to play this game and think first to go snipe a harv? Nobody.

Me, actually. I've been guilty of doing such pointless tasks simply because of force of habit. It's rather hard to explain, but for as long as I can remember, shooting certain armored vehicles with a ramjet gave off this feeling of satisfaction. The same sort of feeling when you fire at a helicopter or buggy... except you don't notice the physical damage. It's sort of like satisfying a habit or an itch. Actually, it really isn't specific to a ramjet. Any infantry, other than engineers. I'll waste autorifle clips of firing at a light tank because I think I'm actually significant damage to it. (some damage is better than no damage, right?)

I have caught myself wasting ammo on such vehicles and then asking myself what was doing that in the first place. (Sort of catching yourself staring into space.)

When I say 'certain armored vehicles,' I mean more specifically the Light tank, the Stealth tank and the Harvester. For some reason it feels like I should shoot them with the ramjet. It sounds stupid, I know, but there just so 'shootable' that it's hard to resist lol. (This does not go for other vehicles like Medium tanks, flame tanks, ect as they don't give off that same feeling of accomplishment that the Light tank and stealth tank do.) I've ever since stopped it, however, since I learned about the point imbalance (which was rather recently, I might add. I never noticed the point issue until someone brought it up on these forums).

But to get to my point, I'm saying you shouldn't put it past you that someone might just shoot the vehicle just because they might have the urge to do so. Don't assume and try to apply your own reasoning as to why they are doing it because most of the time you will be wrong. Something doesn't have to be logical for it to happen. People are illogical, no matter how much you might not believe so, most of the tasks people perform every day have no logical meaning to them and yet people do them anyway. My communication teacher says to never attempt to understand other people; you will waste your life away. Before you try to understand other people, you first have to learn to understand yourself.
