Is Scoring in PvP Bugged?

I've noticed some strangeness in the way scoring happens in PvP.
1.) My team could be ahead in Points, but still have a losing score.
2.) My team could be ahead in Kills and Assists, but still have a losing score.
Many times I've noticed in the beginning of the match, we'll capture 2 nodes, then do a large battle on the center node. We kill the whole team, sometimes 2 or 3 kills on guys that come back after dying, and we still have a losing score.
Has anyone else noticed this with their experience in PvP?

You get points for kills & assists, but you get the biggest points (300 each) for capping flags (meaning you have to be standing on the circle at the time that it caps). So if you assisting a flag capture, but run to the next point prior to the flag turn completing you don't get the 300 points. Sometimes it is best to avoid the 300 personal points in order to put pressure on another point sooner (when you have team mates completing the cap).

1 - You need 375 (or 400) Personal Score to qualify for rewards (Glory) at end of game. If you do not reach the 375 score you get 0 rewards. This is the "anti-bot / AFK" system.
2 - Your team is awarded 1 point per second for each node that is capped in your favor and not contested. This means as long as you have the point capped and an enemy is not standing on it, you get 1 point per second. (Per node) So 3 CAP = 3 Points per second.
3 - First team to reach 1000 Points wins the game.
4 - Personal Score: Only gives you a little more glory than the others players the higher your personal score is. DO NOT Worry about your personal score other than getting 375. Winning the game gives a lot more glory than losing.
5 - Personal Score: 300 Personal Score for Capping a nod. 50 for landing the last blow. 25 for assist. There are Bonus 100 & 50 for killing / assisting in the kill of an enemy on a node.
That pretty much sums it up.
This is a typical Newbie PvP result. PvP in this game is based on capturing and holding the three nodes, NOT the number of kills/assists generated.
Point scoring has been previously stated so, new pvp'ers must learn HOW to adjust and react to what the other team is doing. Not stand on point two waiting for opponents to kill. Typical pvp mistake for new players.
I have been in many a pug group, versus a guild group and all the guild group does is stand on pt two with their clerics jumping up and down thinking they've done something. While loosing the match 1000 - 400 is great for my pug group, it's kinda sad to see a full guild group with absolutely no clue.
Most of the hatred towards pvp'ers is the simple fact, most pvp guild simply understand how to play.
this is something i'd screencap and send in on the support page.
You might be getting lower than the 400 points needed to get glory as others have mentioned, which is easy to do on a DC that is not specced specifically for high survivability and backed by a competent team as you are less than 0 as a solo DC in PVP, you become a dummy that allows the enemy to build action points if you run alone or try to capture points solo unless the other team is asleep at the wheel.
that isn`t true ofcourse.
the only thing that counts is 1000 points bar.
and the time a game lasts with a cap on 15 min.
for max reward just let a game take 15 min.
handy if the other team is way worse, you just go sit back and relax, waste the other teams time, because wintime is double reward vs the losetime.
nothing else matter.
handy to know while leveling.
at max lvl it isn`t that important ofcourse since there are no real rewards there.
you can trust in that ;p have 27 chars and done loads of pvp and wrote down the rewards and time.
right after the first fail reward system i noticed it was played time in pvp what`s all that matters.
it was also officialy announced that winning fast will give you less reward, well this is how they done it ;p
timebased rewards.
