I understand but to reduce rank points for such a thing under the assumption that players are doing it on purpose is still a form of punishment. What is being proposed here is that everyone who meets an un timely death at the fate of long falls or death water will be subjected to a ridiculous point loss. Id like to think that more people simply miss jump or fail jump. Another example is space station. I watched as the secret door to the Xwing opened.... 60% of the humans had no idea about the exploding floor. They all died as a "form of suicide." Did they die on purpose? No. Would they all lose a ridiculous amount of points for not knowing? Under this proposal, yes. In never ending attempts to keep the game fair, i do not see this as a productive change.

If the power here can not be wavered by what i say. Giving - points to players who die via suicide is not the answer. Simply make a change that only allows team win points to those who are alive. Players shouldn't LOSE points from the pool they have already earned because of simple mistakes like missing a jump ect.
