Make games require minimum or maximum points/rank [REJECTED]

[Rozebud]

How will high ranks target lower ranks if they are prohibited to join their games?

Let's say I'm a cadet, so I'll set up a game in which the only ranks allowed are cooks through privates, how do you think a high ranking player is going to target me?

Simple solution...restrict filtering to levels equal to or greater than the players rating

I would love this because I want to filter OUT noobs.

Noobs would love this because they could filter IN noobs

Please see C & A report recently re Crash_22 and alstergren


Set up games in such a way such as point related to stop a) high raking players joining your games i.e. reverse farming such as the 2 named above (there are many others) and also so higher ranking players could stop lower ranking players joining if they should wish because many deadbeat etc. This would be entirely optional to the person setting up the games. Please do not suggest you can set up private games as many like myself like to play new peopleb]


[b]In the main this would stop certain people keeping up their ranks by joining low ranked players game to basically farm them. The low ranked players could play people around their skill level at first to a build up their confidence and there skills and it would enhance their experience on the site overall. :

hey I wanna farm... this suggestion sucks

seriously, you are suggesting something to protect you from noobs not the opposite....

segregation really sucks sir... I decline 99% of the invitations to 6-8 players escalating games because I don't like this shit of sticking to the same people for the sake of a virtual online score,,,

trust me sir... to be open for all is really fun

As title

Allow a filter tool to only allow certain ranks to join games.

This will benefit the community because higher/lower rank players don't really want to play lower/higher rank players who sometimes make irrational decisions on certain settings. I personally cannot do private games due to being a freemium so i have to accept all players. However, some players (those less than 1400) don't really know what they are doing so it's not benefitting them to play against me and they make stupid plays that may cause me to lose 40+ per game.

This is also beneficial to lower rank players to have a rank cap on who can join their games to prevent farmers and they can play among their skill level. Higher levels tend to have that as well, but they tend to use the private invite system which sadly freemiums cannot do.

I can't figure out why the site wouldn't implement a rank filter, as I see it on so many other game sites, whether it be cards or otherwise.

A simple game setting when a game is being set up where one can set the lowest rank they will allow to join the game. Not only is it really annoying for a higher rank to lose 50-100 points to a low rank, but I have found that often times when I play a cook or something similar the game just isn't enjoyable even if I win it (and gain 5 points).

Of course there are exceptions to that rule and there could be an option to not rank filter the game as well.

There are times I want to play a 1v1 speed but won't because I don't want to lose a million points, but even more importantly, I want to play a higher rank because its usually more enjoyable from a strategy standpoint.

This really isn't a hard thing to do from a programming standpoint.

The reason has nothing at all to do with programming. The reason is that the site stubbornly and irrationally holds on to the idea that if they were to do so, it would cause all of the new players to have nobody to play against...which is an idea that is patently absurd on the face of it.

That aside, there are even better ways to accomplish the same idea, but not using rank. Instead, use points and allow the settings to be "ranged" by a certain percentage above or below the game-creator's rank at the time the game is created (the specific range to be used to be figured out by someone much more intelligent on the math than myself).

What TFO said. How many more times will people have to be told that rank segregation of any kind is not going to happen. Rejected.

I apologise for the double post, but wouldn't a better suggestion be something like "New recruits can only play a maximum rank of Private 1st Class for the first 5/10 games" for example? You would make this automatic, don't ask me how , and then once they have finished 10/20 games, they can play up to a Sergeant 1st Class until they have completed 15/20 games. Then once they have played that amount of games they "unlock" the officer ranks. lol I sound like Queen_Herpes.

That sort of idea would be more feasible surely?

*edit* fastposted by Daggerheart, thanks. *edit*

I think that you are close to solution,Instead to rank segregacion, why dont create rank limitation for new NR, you all ready have rank restriction for first 5 games,right, So why dont create rank limitation for first 10 finished games,so that NR can play with maximum Lieutenant, and when these 10 game finished,then NR can play with all ranks, in these way we will avoid farming from high ranked players, and NR can get in these first 10 games,introducing with low and moderate ranks, and they can learn first steps of playing Risk in CC,instead to be invite and kick from High ranked players, who to be honest,dont want to show nothing to NR,and only want to take hes points easy. I think that in these way you will get impact into Scoreboard,and that number of active players will grow(or maybe lack are satisfy with 20000 active players?)
What you think of these?

[donkeymile]

It's a nice compromise.

The fact they are dragging their feet in resisting this is dissapointing.

[qwert]

well i can open new sugestion topic with these idea,because these is not rank segregacion,its rank limitation for new recruits, if mods agree.

[hmsps]

Whats the point of having a suggestions scheme if the hierarchy just say no. Classic democracy and thats why people get peed off with farming both setting up and joining lower ranks. I think the owner/leader is very autocratic in this respect.
