hm? I think I'm saying that I understand why having a marked dot on the minimap is in the game because it helps casualize the experience for players.. and I get it, there are people who even with the clue are absolutely oblivious.. but it's inherent existence makes the game less hardcore as well as a total of other thing to do in the game that benefits the team holistically.
I think you'd be surprised. If it brings in money and you are not actively dying; why would it not be used? People deliever supplies to dead bases all the time, why? when I asked its because it still makes money. At the moment, spotting is probably one of the top 3 money earners w/o any sort of exploit or cheese(-thermals). Incredibly low investment, minimal participation, pure profit. People would still want spotters for mortaring, spotting for inc for fobs will still be relevant.
Spotting in its current iteration just makes me think too much of TPS's.. Peak a window without actually peaking the window. Hell, CoD you can still atleast shoot the UAV. In WD? once you're spotted you're spotted for a few seconds, and I don't even know how long after the spot has worn off you still get rewarded.. and it doesn't even have to be your team.. again if they were actively doing it, or I kill the spotter; there is a better "reward" in it.
And don't get me wrong, spotting in this game is pretty fun.. nothing like getting somewhere silly; watching people die falling out of helis or getting ran over by their own team.. and you're just in some off shoot angle, your threat is near zero because you're not a combatant.. eventually pretending to be a bush .. then eventually being Johnny 5
