RvR Character Contribution

Can we rethink and discuss about losing contribution when logging different character into same RvR zone ?
Wouldn't it be more logical if 1st character keep hes contribution but any next character wont build contribution just receive RP ? Why its better ?
First of all, on my example today, i simply didn't rmb that one of my toons was logged off in HP, and while i was fighting earlier in HP on my AM after 3h, i went to dinner and wanted to check whats on my other toons, so i logged my SW, sadly for me happen to be that i logged him inside destro keep (probably after some crash long time ago), and i had no chance to do anything and simply i lost my contribution on AM, w/o possibility to react or prevent it...
Second reason why its better, because some ppl tend to switch to class which is more needed, specially when they are in Premade WBs, so why should that person get punished by switching to more helpful class ?

Because people are scared by the omnipresent phantom called: *insert scary music* Crossrealming
I got similar situations, like fighting on Destro in a lake that just wouldn't lock, even after several hours of fighting. I logged of because i got tired of this situation. Later that day some friends wanted to play our order toons, but that damn lake still hadn't been locked...
Maybe you could get a warning/message telling you "all contribution on char xyz will be lost if you log in/enter rvr".
PS: A spontaneous idea is an option to choose, if you rather would lose all old contribution and start new or keep the old contri and gain only xp/rp (maybe only50%?), but no contri on the next char.

Don't be so quick to blame everything on cross realming.
They removed contribution when logging into another toon because players were abusing the whole "contribution is not lost when you crash/log" by logging in on one toon- tagging a few things- then switching to another- tagging some more things and so on, so that when the zone finally locks, all their characters will get bonus rolls/bags/credit/renown.

Thats all good, i mean good that they prevent it now, but im sure we can make it better and not punish ppl who dont want to exploit it.
Not to mention that its very unfair towards some players, i know some ppl who have multiple accounts for each character, and they are not affected by losing contribution - stupid me that i didn't think about it...

RvR reward system is not rewarding. At least it feels like that... cowpie, cowpie, cowpie, cowpie, cowpie, cowpie, cowpie, cowpie, cowpie.

On my wh when soloing, taking flags, scouting and such was mostly cowpies /which u do could sell and make some gold /.
On other hand on my rp, even solo, it is pretty decent. Yea u dont got any rp whatsoever but rolls shows decent contribution

Won't be surprised if it has something to do with how many kills you got rewards for. On my dok. rdps aoe bomb specced- 100+ kill rewards soloing in average Praag for example- I'm getting bag every second zone lock or so.

I got also something like 2 Cowpies in a row two weeks ago, but these were desrved as we took empty keeps. But the next 6 were also cowpies with normal sieges and plenty of fights. Then again some colors.
So I dont know if it was something two weeks ago.

I don't blame crossrealmer, as there is still no real evidence other than conspiracies^^, nevertheless it's always one of the first reasons claimed for locktimer/contri-wipe
