It doesn't matter though we didn't break a rule and we don't care about morals or feelings. Just know we are better then all of you. Except for dUmb since they did beat us 2-1.

I'd suggest something like you get :

0 Merits for participating in a 10 minute match. Yeah that's right, unless you win the match? You Get Nothing. Encourage people to get better!

1 v 1 The winner gets 3 Merit. + 2 Million Influence
2 v 2 4 Merits (Per person) + 2 Million Influence
3 v 3 5 Merits (Per person) + 2 Million Influence
4 v 4 6 Merits + 2 Million Influence
5 v 5 7 Merits + 3 Million Influence
6 v 6 8 Merits + 4 Million Influence
7 v 7 9 Merits + 5 Million Influence
8 v 8 10 Merits + 5 Million Influence

Nothing fancy. You win 5 8 v 8's you can earn an alignment merit + 5 Million extra influence. You have to invest at least 50 minutes of time into it in match time alone. That doesn't take into account set up or anything like that or wrangling 16 people up to play. The reward should be *better* than PvE because you have winners and losers.

For Zones? The easiest way I could think to dangle a carrot there would be make the stuff you do in zones matter. Win the Zone in RV? Get X number of Merits + Influence. This way people could kill you for the sake of killing you and get a chance at a valid rep kill, and then you'd have the people who are actually trying to accomplish the goals in the zone.
I don't know if the tech would be there but you could increase the prize/bounty by how many people are in the zone *ON EACH SIDE*

Winning a Capturing and holding all of the pillboxes in a 20 v 20 RV should give a sizable reward. I don't know how exactly one would work out of it was 25 v 20 or something like that. But I think the reward should be good enough to warrant a cool down timer. (Say 2 hours) Before you can get the reward for winning the zone again. I think a way to possibly get around everyone switching to one side to get the win would be when the last pillbox is hit, give a reward based on the number of people on each side, if the winning side has more people subtract from the reward, if the winning side has *less* people, make it bigger.

I think the same could be done in WB for nukes (And could be sort of a CTF style minigame). Sirens call, I'd say just improve on the bounty system and its rewards. Bloody Bay, I don't really know what you could do there. Maybe something with the Meteors and the bases in the center of the map you have to deactivate to get your Shivans.

Also, yeah, O2 Boost poops HE, but then you have a Storm, which is all but worthless in a small match. You'd be better off with an Emp solving the problem. Or AM gathering on a Rad, 'cause AM's OP.
