Player given GG bonus is simply not a good idea
I'm level 30 so I have a lot of experience to draw from on this topic. I haven't always disliked the gg bonus but I just recently decided that it really is not a good idea and should not be in the final game. I don't know why any devs ever thought that players should have the ability to give each other bonuses. That stuff should never be in the hands of the players. I could talk a lot about this topic but one thing that really bugs me is how some players inexplicably don't give the bonus. I don't know why they don't give it, they just don't. For me I have always tried to give it in nearly every game. The times I don't give it are usually when someone leaves during the first round before hardly anything has happened. Progression can be very slow in this game even with those bonuses so if you lose a game and don't get it then you get nothing. This is annoying as hell. I ask myself why people don't give the bonus but then I realize that after someone doesn't give it to me I get this urge to stop giving it out to people as well. It's a stupid cycle of people getting upset and not wanting to give the bonus anymore. And the worst part is that it's never going to stop. This problem will never be fixed unless the devs change it.
I just want to reiterate that if I give someone a bonus after a good game and they do not reciprocate it makes me feel cheated. I have no desire to ever give that bonus to anyone who isn't going to give it back to me. That is the huge flaw in this system.
