PvP low pop bonus is a joke

Dreadslayer

Can anyone explain how the low pop bonus is actually calculated
Over the last week AD have been 3 bars but still getting low pop and DC had low pop around 462 points way more than AD who had turned 3/4 of the map yellow doesn't seem to be fair you can turn most of the map but receive less points than a faction that isn't doing anything

You can have a lower population and still win a fight.

I do not know how the low pop bonus is calculated... but it's been broken since the last pop cap reduction (or around that patch).

Thats been broken for a while now it seems random at this point. It doesn't help that there is absolutely no transparency by the devs about exactly how and when it is activated.
