It’s impossible even to list down all the issues between broken queues, exploits and bugged calculation of points and reputation. This is a message taken from the boards that demonstrates how the Contribution Points are broken in Warsong:

Unfortunately this is likely going to get lost as the problems seems isolated to Hellscream, but here goes.

Hellscream is not receiving CPs for Warsong wins. I have talked to 10 different people now all of whom have CP totals that are less than half what they are supposed to be. I myself noticed a problem on Wed and held on to my tokens from Thursday. I had 8 total and ended up with 8000 CPs on the day. Something is amiss. The problem is on both Alliance and Horde.

Perhaps people can bump this if they get a chance.

If he has eight tokens it means he won eight times. This alone is equal to 1660 x 8 = 13280 Contribution Points. Without counting the Honor Kills. Instead he collected 8000.

This confirms my test. One day I won two sessions, all three flags returned and I ended up with 3k of points. The following day I did the same but leaving the BG after two flag returned, without waiting for the third. And I ended up with nearly 6k of points.

It’s also kind of interesting how all the radical design holes are starting to show. The servers have huge population unbalances, same for the factions. This brings to endless queues making the game unplayable for most of the players and also shows other design shortcomings. Try to play PvP in a low populated server during the off peak, it’s not possible. Even if you manage to get in after insane long queues you’ll be stuck to kill the same players over and over and over. Without getting points thanks to the “diminishing returns”. And this right now that these battlegrounds are a novelty and everyone is checking them. Think to what will happen a few months down the road.

Blizzard has stated various times that they are currently researching ways to ease the faction and population unbalances. Idiots. This is not something you do seven months after release. This is something you plan right at the start of the project. You’ve been noobs, now it’s too late and you suffer another huge design shortcoming.

Enjoy. The PvP in WoW is broken beyond repair. There’s nothing good aside the deatmatch mode they stole from different genres and that required no talent at all to copy. The rest of the design is an insane clusterfuck where you really cannot find anything to save. Anything.
