Changes to the points and rating system

[jrh_cardinal]

I don't care for option #2, but I LOVE option #1.

sp you think people should be punished for being good?

No...if you go to his original suggestion thread, you'll see that I have amended it to read as I thought it did (I mis-read it). Which I love.

There is a revised option number 1 in my post to show why your idea is bad, it creates rank segregation

Revised Option #1: same situation
SuperColonel victory: 0 points
NewbieCook victory: 0 points

SuperColonel: "Why am I wasting my time playing some newb when I can't improve my rank (since that is all I care about). I'm going to start playing only private games and 2000+ tourneys"

---THEN----

SuperNewbieNewRecruit joins CC: "Hey, this rating system is cool. I want to play against good players so I can learn how to play well, then I can get good and have an awesome crown like them."
...
...
...
"Why are there no awesome people with crowns in games?"

Oh, that's right. Crown people want points so no longer play in public games at all

"Now I will never get better and I will be a private forever "

Daggerheart, I think you need to simply face facts and see that your method of gaining points is simply not effective. If you want to get higher than major, you can't keep playing 1v1 sequential.


Also: why does the title still say "rating system?" You have no talked about them at all.
