In hindsight, were all those teams who gave up on winning the match, and co-op balanced instead just as culpable? All they did was end up artificially boosting everyones' QP, at the cost of not trying your hardest to actually WIN the match anymore...
Not at all analogous. Earning QPs with the coop balance was part of the game. The competition was for the most QPs, and whether to earn them with wins or coops was a strategic part of the competition. There was no cash prize for scoring the most coops.
