As we all know our present duel ranking system is based on experience gained from dueling. Unfortunately this system really doesn't do much for telling us who the best dueler really is....or where the exp came from.
Did the top 10 duelers in a world gain their exp from dueling down? Did they gain it from banging workers and adventurers.
Our present system does nothing except hide down in the middle ranks who our best duelers in each world may be...the 0 mot dueler.
Personally I know several 0 mot duelers ranked in the 2000 range who would go through most of the top ranked duelers like a tornado through a cheap mobile home park.
So I would like to solicit some suggestions here on the possible ways to achieve a meaningful dueler ranking system.
Some things I have considered as a proposed change to this system.
1. That rankings be based on wons/losses not exp.
2. That if players defeat someone ranked higher than they are then they switch rankings ( ie the 100th rank dueler by win/losses challenges the 80th ranked and defeats him. They would switch rankings).
3. That the dueling level system be changed from exp to a win loss system.
Perhaps something along the lines of so many wins moves you up a dueling level - your losses.
As an example 25 wins is needed to move you up a dueling level - your losses. So a player with 75 wins - 25 losses would have an adjusted dueling level record of 50. If his actual level was 10 his dueling level would be 12.
A players dueling level could also drop using this system to reflect the fact that he retired from dueling, respeced to fort fighting, etc, back to his real level based on losses exceeding his wins.
Again these numbers are just for example purposes.
Something else a change would accomplish is address the "problem" that is often whined about of the 0 mot keeping his dueling level down to hit "easy targets."
Based on something along these lines while he would not win exp for dueling as a 0 mot he would be properly ranked based on his dueling capabilities. If he was a top dueler he would be ranked as so based on this new system of adjusted dueling levels.
Thoughts...feedback..suggestions ?
