Rep is too easy to gain by cheesy means. Such a system would only encourage more false wars and artificially repped units.

so? everything is cheesy. I figure people would use the "cheesy rep gain" to make it easier to upgrade their mechs.

False wars wouldn't be encouraged by this, honestly. How many people are going to think "dude, if I can just get my mackie 20 rep I can make it immune to skill ups! do you have enough to throw at it to give it the rep?" and I doubt it would get people going "ya know if I can get my rhino another 200 rep it can be immune to skill ups! do you got enough to throw at it to do that?"

It's actually not all that easy to gain rep by cheesy means, since the cost of doing it the cheesy way is massive. Unless of course you know of a cheap and effective way, in which case I would be quite interested to hear...

-EDIT- Oh something came to me in a dream! and making new posts is for n00bs, so... Doing something like taking a light mech, using it to finish off things to gain rep and then switching the pilot to a bigger mech is counter productive, since you lose a skill and rep when you switch them and the point of having a legendary mech with this suggestion is to avoid skill ups....then there's also the fact that wayward added in the thing that delays skill ups by scoring kills....on the whole, it will just encourage people to make use of that new thing more at worst
