Gangs & Gang Points

Just makes you lose 2 less points from dying and opposition gain 2 less (since its cut down to 1 per kill). Another pointless change, I 'spose?

It wasn't to prevent running, it was because gang members would give up or not defend their base at all because they didn't want to lose points. Recruiters would specifically say not to defend.

Anything that discourages participation (or playing at all) is not a good feature.

edit: It would be cool if there was another way to gain points besides kills. Bonuses for capturing a base somehow or something.
