People don’t even shoot at scouted targets most of the time, I don’t think this will magically create the nirvana of teamwork that you expect.
What it will do is create an endless “attention to the map” overload hell.
No thanks

Perhaps you prefer to continue playing for yourself??? It seems to me that WT is a game intended to be played as a team and not alone. The idea of "boosting" the XP for those who spot and really play as a team is very good and as a COMMUNITY manager you should be in favor of it… But maybe you are one of these "old "players who prefer nothing to change for their own comfort???

Yes, of course, battles where all you can see on chat/map is random ping every 4 seconds will be more templay than what we have now. Please. That will just create new type of annoying players. Next to “attack the D point” spammers you will have “pin map for free RP” clickers.
If you really like to click, jump to hangar and search for bananas :)

Team play outside a communicating squad with a random stranger is very rare - in every shooter game.
Warning friendlies of the presence of enemies nearby is actually in your own interest - either because you can get a shot on a distracted enemy or you keep your team mate alive (so he can help you later and help to win).
So asking for a bonus for a map ping leading to an enemy got killed is on the same level like a fellow player asked a few days ago for a bonus for dodging / notching an enemy missiles - imho you just play the game and act smart - there is no justification for a bonus.
But then it also needs to be random and just not click properly at times like scouting, also just randomly fail for no reason and then you get a cooldown on clicking again because that’s how this game works.
i think a blanket RP increase in ground would dissolve this argument immediately

Beats having the current situation where nobody pings the enemy at all so you get ambushed even when spawning in lol.
WT is supposed to be a teamwork game right? Thing is, you sometimes have to nudge people into teamwork, make it a strict system, overspam of ping means you cant ping anymore. Once a minute, sure, you might get 16 people pinging all the time but the only time its useful (to the pinger for RP points) is if the ping is effectively spot on the enemy tank.
And if the information is useful, it isnt “attack the d point” spam. Theres nothing stopping players just spam pinging the map as is.
Maybe I am tired as a long term veteran in the game being 1 of only maybe 3 people in a team giving information to others.

you only get points if they die.
And players will spam the location of enemies, hoping to get a reward when they do die.
Which… is the point? Teamwork makes the dream work?
Just like in Battlefield, when you get a reward for spotting an enemy while randomly hitting ‘Q’
So you are going to waste your ping on a random spot where you don’t see anything and don’t have any actual knowledge if there’s a tank there?
Reminder that our RP earnings are still the same as 2014 despite the game growing in size several times in terms of RP requirements.
I would ping spots where enemies commonly are, and I am sure most other people will too. Everyone would be constantly pinging any enemy they see in order to get a bit of extra reward.
Sort of. However, spam pinging does nothing to help the team.
and then you would have a cooldown, and most likely get no points.
