Support class: all the effort, none of the points.

Something I’ve noticed in this Battlefield is the abysmal point return for playing Support. I’ve watched, with growing frustration, Recon players rack up more score points from passive gadgets than the people whose entire job is to keep the team alive and supplied. Why is this still a thing? Did it slip under the radar, or is it deliberate design to punish the class that actually does the work?
