Rating Servers

[HellfiG]

I haven't been updated to the latest formula or whatever is going on based on the rating part. As far as I know there should be a "new" rating system coming up. Once you told me it would be here in a while, then in a month and now it seems to take even longer and longer.

Whatever, I don't really want to start any discussion about what I just said above, I'm just curious about the rating servers. The only server where you HAVE to play to get higher rating is FA #2. Will there be anything done about this? It's kinda sad to see that it has to be like this.

It's nice to see all the "better" players are all on one servers, but it's bullshit. Shouldn't be every (read: "active") server be able to get someone to the top?
I'm just saying, on FA #2 everyone just randomly uses the shit adrenaline and just sucks without it lol.

I don't want to offend anyone with this, I'm just wondering only FA #2 is "THE" server to rate. I just don't like to play there because of the adrenaline "noobs". Ruins the gameplay. But that's just my opinion, hey who am I..

Can someone fill me up with what's going on these days? I'm not really active myself, and I can't be arsed to read every topic on a forum like this.

Thanks, keep up the great job running tb Paulus.

pro*que pasa.

To get to Pasa's first point:
I think I'm THE perfect example that you can get into top 10, without even rating on A FA server and without whoring.
FA2, is easy to rate if you have (a little bit of) skills + keep in mind that Minas is THE map for ALL raters to get rate, even though if you hate that map as a rater, you still rate like hell on it and especially on FA2.

Most Raters play there (FA2).
=> Average rate is most of the time higher as other servers. Also it's a very popular server, so 'noobs' join it all the time.
Since that server is so popular that it usually has around +30 players on it (compared when most people play.) and most of them are 'not so skilled', average ppm will be low.
Combination of high average rate/map, low average ppm (and the map Minas Thirith) makes it THE perfect place to get rate.

But that's just my opinion, I guess.
For sure you can rate on other servers, but in my opinion it's harder. Nevertheless, I'm living prove it's possible. I won't be #1, where I play. But I sure can stay in top-10.

PS: Indeed I'm saying FA2 is easier to rate than somewhere else. But that's just because of that 'combination' I gave.
If you can find that combination somewhere else, than you have another good server to rate.
