Oh, medium infantry can get lots of points and valor too, my main is medium armor 21/18 2hander. Just that if I stuck with the blob and stabbed people on the front line, I got massive points and valor. If I played how I prefer which is flanking around to hunt/bait cav, show up to the rear of big fights, all that high maneuver light infantry gameplay, I get a greatly reduced amount of points, unless I perform 150 percent and never die to ranged and 1vs1 ten people by myself that I can hit 5+ times each (almost never happens of course).
Just blob up and stab the other blob (or be cav).. such stupid gameplay and this system is rewarding that playstyle the most. I don't need looms or levels either but if the points system replaces all XP gain eventualy it just seems like another barrier for new players to gain levels and items, since they won't even get carried to 5x by good teammates anymore.
Also valor is a kick in the nuts when the winning team gets it over and over.
