Does this mean I can play on the newbie server again?
Anxious to boost rank,

PS. Can I also not be booted for stupidity?

ELO is broken. But it's not that broken like these kill based ranks. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Rank = kills / 100
There's no formula, no weighting, no penalties, none of that "broke" stuff.
If you don't kill other ships, your rank does not go up. Simple, eh? If you look at the leaderboard, you'll note that the good dogfighters are at the top, and the guys that fly scouts are at the bottom. Shiz is a (25), Noir is a (5). That's how it works.
To put it simply, the ranking system is now "Whore Based" rather than "ELO Based".
Enjoy!

This will help us get balanced games on the second busiest Allegiance day of the week!

"Notice" Surely some mistake?

QUOTE My point is that ELO is a broken, useless stats system. It doesn't reflect player ability and it never will.[/quote]QUOTE a system like that is terribly flawed. TERRIBLY flawed.[/quote]
Given the above, then this MUST be better.
So, you guys don't like this? You think that killcounts aren't indicative of actual skill? If I added basekills, that would be better?
(No stats have been wiped, I simply changed the output function. Things will return to normal soon.)

Balanced Games? I was under the distinct impression that you guys didn't want Balanced games - that you wanted to be able to pick and choose who you played for. "I want to play with my squadmates" and so forth.
No?

That's right, Clay - you're a (3). You can't be booted.
Enjoy!

Wow so it seems you guys don't want whore-based ranks and that you actually did depend on ELO to get a measure of player skill?
Gee, alright. I'll switch it right back. Sorry about that!
