adding to the numbers so people can get a better feel of how getting AP is easy if you know where to go/what to do:
two days ago at ROE lumber when EP were sieging the front door a small group ran over to the lumber and suicided to get somewhere else on the map quickly. There was about 6-7 who did this. I followed them over and I was by myself. I was able to kill them all for about 845ap each and it was easy since they were not attacking me. When the defensive tick happened it was about 11k just for me
6 x 845 = 5070 + 11000 = 16070ap
roughly +-16k ap made in about 3 minutes all by myself. Granted it was a "right-place-right-time" situation, but it works if you know what to do/what to look for.
