**Problem
Smaller factions keep loosing fights to bigger ones and in result not being paid enough to re-buy lost gear.
In result they get discouraged, don't want to go pvp, get killed in the core and rage quit.

***Solution
I suggest to increase ZC payouts (caps! not xp) based on number of players from a faction in the zone.
12+ players -> 100% pay (as it is curently)
11 players -> 110% pay
10 -> 120%
...
2 -> 200%

Limit of 2 players would be to prevent 1 chars annoying the capping team just to get caps.

Also, sneaks would not be a part of the above system as it would only encourage teams of 2 (or more) sneaks even more to annoy the capping team to get 200% caps.

EDIT: Realized that sneaks cannot contest so ignore my last point.

yup devs said that many times, pay is based on amount of ppl participating on ZC so swarms get less money

In that case it only proves that it is currently not enough. That's why my suggestion.
