Factors of NUB's final MPR (in General)

IMO
50% amount of burned BA-s
25% RoE
10% USD
10% Strategy
5% How familiar is "NUB" with whole CB2 before he creates account

Be kind and add here some other factors and numbers.

"50% amount of burned BA-s"

That should be:

15% target selection
35% amount of burned BA

Sounds like fun for a stat major. Write down a list of factors and attempt to fit a linear regression model. Collect data on as many nubs as possible. Find the coefficients and the exact proportion of each factor :)

90-100% Won battles from Challenged shows that target selection isn´t so difficulty. Hard part is to Challenge over 80,000 BA

Target selection is not about winning all the battles, but to balance winning all the battles with hitting the highest opponents and maintaining maximum CB. That slides toward equipment choices as well, the art of PR minimization and score maximization so to speak.

Maybe then 45% BA burning and 15% Strategy (included target selection) ?

"90-100% Won battles from Challenged shows that target selection isnï¾´t so difficulty."

Look at NUB users with less than a month's experience and notice how the win percentage is rarely over 75%.

If we are indeed referring to NUB users here, then target selection is not an intuitive thing during the first few weeks of play. Rare are the NUB that get 90+% wins on their challenges.

Also, keep in mind that there is a big difference between hitting a target that gives 100% rewards and one that gives 50% or less.

Target selection is a big issue.

Well, I've read the wiki a ton of times before even signing up, but nothing beats having the actual combat experience on which strats work and which doesn't. I screwed the first two weeks or so of my (current) NUB, and you know, LA didn't and has a 300k MPR lead with even time (and he also has the option of bumping with hires)... and his deeper pockets.

something nobody seem to understand is that power of people attacking you... if you have a strat that makes people want to fight you and lose to you sometimes... you gain alot of free exp

I gained a lot of free exp. Really a lot.
