score is: 80:7
you dont get awarded a good RP because it was oviously not a challenge.

ok .. this time you score some for the other team.
the score is 80:55
do you deserve the better ranking for winning against really bad teams?

NO! .. the purpose of using the loosing teams score, is to rank alliances higher if they beat a EVENLY matched team in a match, so your spoofing RP to make it seem like every match you played was a HARD game. If you can barely beat an great alliance, you deserve RP more then being the amazing alliance and beating a lower calliber team and spoofing RP.

PS: i dont have anything against 1114, 1503, or 67, i just used them as an example since they won GLR, and they are a great alliance! congrats to them at that!
thats my two $0.02 -kevin
I agree, I think that teams should worry about their own score and if they are winning not how many RPs they will get out of the match.

I think that any team that feels the need to cheat the system to get a better ranking has let winning become to important to them.
