Incentivize the training of new players with scrim points

(1/3) > >>

Keon:
I'm on an iPad, so I'll keep this short. As many of you know, we've recently had a surge of new players, due to Pewdiepie's video. I've tried to get some players to do training, but it wasn't working. So I figure the clans need an incentive. What if we allowed clans to get a small amount of scrim points for doing a training session. Obviously we'd need to give less than a full scrimmage, but it seems to me that sportsmanship should be rewarded as well as skill.

Basically, say the ducks hold a training day. In addition to possibly getting new members, new respect, and sharing the love of icarus, now they get points. Helping is a valid way to up your standing.

So, opinions. Would this unbalance the system? Have I screwed it all up? I want feedback! I realize this could be exploited easily, and that's a problem we need to fix. Thoughts?

Urz:
There have already been several pages of discussion about adding participation points to that system in the existing thread.

To your suggestion specifically, if they cared about becoming more involved in the competitive side of the game, they would probably be interested in training. If they're not interested in training, why would they care about points?

GreyTea:
i think keon's idea is more based on as CA'S we can answer and help best we can in global and few lobbies but as a community as a whole if their was some incentive for the experienced player base competitive wise to share their knowledge of the game and help as many people as they can maybe with a balanced 3v3 lobby it would be a massive help and its not like they are wasting time which i doubt many would see it like that, also it is a possible recruiting way to bolster clan numbers, sounds like a good idea :),

Urz:
Oh, points for the team holding the training session, not the one receiving the training.

I don't think the problem is lack of people willing to provide training. Based on past training lobbies I've seen, there's just not a lot of interest from newcomers. The ones who want to become involved in the competitive side of the game tend to join a clan and receive training that way.

GreyTea:
Yeah i don't think many did research before they purchased, unfortunatly haha i think they expect it to be more like CoD lobbies and instantly start and not alot of prep work to the crew or ship am sure in a few weeks time when the game has cooled those who are left would be willing to get some pointers hopfully ether way nice to have the option :) just how to get the word out about training lobbies time i doubt all of them will join and look on the forum hmmm any ideas?
