@Eli:
No system can or will account fairly for all those factors, so just enjoy the one we have.
Tons of games (including flash games) do just that,i would give you links but it's against the forum rules to link foreign games.
+We are enjoying what we have or else we wouldn't be playing TheWest.What people are doing here is trying to find ways to make something good even better.
@Miss Sarajevo: In game sleeping is not an indication of style of play or any other player character,you realize many grown ups play this game right?
(Hint: grown up= usually are busy at real life work and can only play a very small amount of time,therefore must in game sleep like 20 hours a day)
And the second point: it's irrelevant when a dueler starts his career,only the end result matters.Starting dueling at lvl 10 or at 99 has no bearing on who is the best dueler.
@Scalp em:I understand what you are saying and appreciate your points,what me,Miss Sarajevo and others have tried to point out is there is no point in switching to a different system if the new system can just as easily be manipulated.
You cannot play secret chess game that no one knows about in chess tournaments.In the west you can have secret duels,you can duel your couple of buds with pillows all day and rack massive experience and no one will be the wiser..We don't know who you have been dueling and how you got there.
IMO there is no point in putting the effort into a new system unless the points raised are addressed.I think it's also difficult to achieve a true and accurate ranking picture of who the best duelers are for the simple fact that we don't agree of what the word "best" means.
It would be a lot easier if we 1st agreed on what makes a dueler be best then we might be able to find ways to measure that.IE: the horse 1st then the cart! lol
