ost_uid0="DanYankees"]Tark--rank is NOT useless
It is what attracted almost everyone to this game. When people first join the community most don't start playing the game just for the sake of playing it. They try to get in the top scores, and once they get to the top scores, they try to hold their position.
I know people such as pip99, Tidus2k2, and I would not have started playing this game if it were not for the top scores. So there definitley is a point to the ranking system. It attracts many people to this game. And not all have a love for the game as you do.[/quote]
true !
but i never said that ranks were'nt part of this game, i just said that RANKS MEANS NOTHING !
that is true also...
as for your real reason to have played this game in the first place, wasn,t because of the RANKING system...
when you first saw or heard about the game, i think you mianly gave him a shot, not for the ranks, but just to see what it was all about, then you played for the ranks !
but i must say, games are games, and games in general shouldn't put a ranking system at all !
in many games, i saw the RANKING SYSTEM be total boolpoop.
it never means anything !
games should be played for fun, and should never be played like it was your life !
i saw a STARCRAFT FANATICS, he doesn't play for the fun of it, he plays like his life depended on it !
i thnk that is going too far for a gamer !
i am just saying that there is a limit between complet foolishness and fun, many gamer pass from one to the other without even noticing the line !
