Eliminate hard earned points. I don't think so.
Crap idea.

I believe that point total should be an indication of players skill. If someone has a high number of points, you can be sure that there is at least 1 combination of gametype/settings that player is very good at, or they are pretty good allround.
Immediately after a reset, point totals would be useless as indication of skill, because everyone has the same point total. Only when a significant number of games have been played do ratings stabilize.
It took me more then a year to cross the 2000 point mark, and I don't feel that my rating has stabilized yet. If this was implemented, my rating would never be an accurate indication of my skill.

dont think this one will work queen due to the fact that people play to get a higher rank. so say you play for 12 months get 2 within 2 points of a hat then have it reset there will be an outcry of complaints

Specifics/Details:How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:- Can function as a method of eliminating points earned by farming or multis
- Can give players who have been hammered with losses a chance to reset
- Would give an opportunity to amend the point system that determines rankings at least once per year
- Potential drawback would be that players would play poorly as the reset approaches; however, by keeping statistics like medals, win percentage and other methods of determining a player's success, might keep players playing well for those statistics and medals
- Potential drawback for freemiums who are at a high rank due to good play - it might take them an eternity to return to a high rank
I like the idea personally, but I absolutely can see why so many others are against it, for the reasons mentioned. Even though I like the idea, I do actually agree with them.

I'm on the same boat. Perhaps reject this, but please consider a suggestion that does something to address the devaluation of the ranking system due to multis and farmers.

I'm moving this to
Rejected QH. If you can come up with a better way of "devaluation of the ranking system", please, start up another thread
