Incentive for the n00b-killers - Give 'em a reason to fight the low ranks

Troy88 · 07-31-2002, 01:11 AM

Well...I wouldn't dare suggest anything like that, because I know that the ranking system is a fun part of the game for a lot of people.

But if you're ranked say, 15, and you beat someone that is ranked 20, don't you think you deserve more than 10 points for winning? I mean, as it is now, you could be ranked 15 and beat someone ranked 9999 and get the same amount of points as you would for beating the guy that was ranked 20. That's why n0oob killers exist in the first place; there's nothing in it for them to fight someone with skill, when they get the same amount of points for an increased risk of losing.

By the way, to anyone posting their opinions about my idea, please don't say anything about "abolishing" the rank system. That was never my intention, and I don't want someone coming to the last page of this thread, seeing that, and then immediately thinking that my idea was a bad one, without even reading it on the first page.
