XP gain was constant, win or loss.  Right now, if you play with a noob (and loose) you'll advance at half the rate that those who don't play with noobs (and the stackers).

What keeps you guys from playing with noobs?

xp gain has nothing to do with who you play with. So i have no clue what your on about.

Xp gain is directly and only effected by YOUR rank, and your enemies.  Not your teams.

[Freek]

If your team sucks (b/c of a newb) you get half the xp you otherwise would.  Which means playing with newbs hinders the advancement of my company.

Freek means that he won't play with people he thinks are "noobs" or will otherwise lessen his chances of winning.

I think there was a thread on something like this a while ago, lemme look.

A thread called "Casual Players and Noobs"

Except you get more pp for losing and more pp for playing with noobs.

[Freek]

Not when you're profile is a new account too, which kinda sux.

But when you're finally level 8, those pp's are only really usefull for offmaps or whatever.

so what you are saying is, you don't want to lose? and base your whole reason for playing on XP gain?

I need XP to rank up and spend my PP's thats all.  If I play stacked games in general, I've gimped by XP gain by about half.  

I'm not saying that I never lose, (which I do, rather regularly) but that I've started to try to cherry pick games.

Eg, I avoid the all pro axis teams, and allied teams with newer guys on them.  Close, even games, are always tons of fun win or lose.  Its just that stacked games are neither fun, nor profitable.

Play against high level axis then, even if you lose you get lots of xp and pp.

Hmm i guess there is a point here.  maybe there should be a commander advantage to give better xp for worse team mates like the pp one.

[Freek]

That sounds like a good idea, just remember though that it's not level 8's who need XP it's the lower levels who actually need it lol.

[wildsolus]

no offense but that would suck to gain even more XP at low levels, especially this late in the war.

i've played only about 20 games on my blitz account and already like 30 xp away from rank 7...and i have 4 advantages (3 t1's and 1 t2) and 5 doctrine unlocks (3 tier 1's, 1 tier 2, 1 tier 3).

gaining even 5-10xp more per battle vs high level players would hurt more then it'd help.

[VictorTarget]

I think part of the problem here is, higher-level companies don't want to risk high-level units against low-level enemies, because the PP return is so low, and low-level companies don't want to risk their few vetted units against a high-level company because they are so precious to a new company.  Perhaps the direct correlation isn't exactly needed?  Gaining 5 PP for a game against a low-level company won't recoup losses if the foe is skilled. 

Perhaps, less penalty of playing against low-level companies (in terms of PP) but more rewards for playing against high-level companies? 

[Tymathee]

or it suxu playing against low level companies who are good players, so you get lowered XP and PP yet still lose cuz they're just better...and because they can spam recons/mi
