Having a horde of 250 players invade a 50 OP is like having a bunch of college players doing pick-up games at the elementary school playground where the baskets are 6 feet off the ground.
(by you, i'm not referring to you specifically)
It depends on what is your perception of OPs. If you consider that OPs is only something that brings mats then yes having tons of 250 players trying to get an 50 OPs .... it's a bit ridiculous.
In an other hand, if you consider that OPs is an advanced position in a terroritory then it makes a lot of sense to put the effort to get it (OP = outpost so it's an advanced position). (And when I go to an outpost it's with this in my mind not the reward part)
