Rating Servers

[christmaspwns]

It's not about if it's easier or not. It's just bullshit that FA#2 is the only server you HAVE to play to get on top. (and I'm not talking about "whoring", but fragging)

It's about the way the system works, some flaws are inevitable, like:
- Players are rated by name (a pro with a new name has a low rating, and is regarded as a noob). (I don't know how they deal with it, for example if there is an initial period when the rate moves faster, and cannot influence other player's rating)
- Some players play only in some servers, and there isn't enough 'sharing' of players to adjust their relative scores. A server with only pros in it (who never play elsewhere) will never get them a high rating, since they are 'among equals', and regarded as 'average'. You need 'noobs' there too, to get a high score.
- Servers with many players can assure you that you don't have many of them with a 'wrong' rating (that doesn't match their real skill)

Add to this things like maps, server settings, etc. and eventually everyone will figure out the servers where you have to play to get score, and that will probably shift things even further in that direction.
