the problem is that people still don't spar since they see no incentive since:
1. they get owned and don't want to "ruin their stats"
2. they see no point in sparring and don't realise that if they don't spar a little bit they'll suck forever
3. you get zero money for kills, waste a shitload of ammo and also have to pay for revs

doing something about this would be nice, i'm not going to suggest what to do or nothing is going to be done
Were there incentives in place when sparring was previously more popular? If not, there may simply be something discouraging people from participating and it may only be necessary to repair that aspect rather than coddling players.
