Rating Servers

[Paul]

The system is the same for every server, and we can not insert code that will make sure F|A would rate bad. We finally fixed the latest bug in the new rating method so we're adding more servers to it and trying some different new terms.

I'm not saying F|A should rate bad compared to other servers. I'm just wondering why FA#2 is the only server where you can get higher rating. Most of the top players don't play vs each other because they're scared to loose their rating, so is it just to own the "noobs" over there? Is it because the server statistics claim to have the better players over there?

Once again, I don't wanna offend anyone, I'm just trying to figure out why.

I am sure the real formula is more complex, and I don't know it , but to make a simple one let's say that a server has:
average rating 10, average ppm 6, then if you wanna go toward 30 rating, you need to make 18ppm (30/10*6) so to make a good rating, you need 3 things:
1. high average rating and low avg. ppm, so you need low ppm
2. the actual ability to make those ppm in that server.

examples taken from 2 random real sessions I found, and calculated with my simplified formula:

server  avg.rate avg.ppm  ppm needed for 30 rating
FA2     11.02    6.3      17.15
BiO     9.05     6.24     20.69

In this case, it's obvious that you need to play in fa2, since not only you need to make only 17 ppm and not 20, but also because making 20ppm in bio is probably much harder than doing 20 in fa

that's why. Even if my formula is simplier than the real tb formula you can get the idea
