I have 2 things I would like to put up, one maybe liked and may have been put forward before, the other, I am sure will have many critics.
1. Ranking at ffs, it would be great if above private stage there were 1-2 more lvls of ranking... this would allow rankers to plan a bit more with the order peeps move during the battle... maybe a sergeant and a major
2. Now this may bring more critics to bear... I know Inno is working on formulas for ffing, I would like to throw another twist in their thought process, as I read, they would like to see more peeps participating in ffs. So, I would propose that sides would get a bonus for having online players at the fight...
How this would work, is for every online player the attacker has, they gain 1 pt, and for each defender online, the attackers lose 1 pt... pts toward what, could be resistance, damage, chance to hit, etc... kind of the developers decision...
The reason for this it would encourage those ranking to take into consideration those peeps that are actually online, even the small players, without just disregarding them because their HP is to low, and would get more players overall coming to ffs. Yes, this may make some 'tanks' upset, but I think if you are a true tank and offline, you would still be chosen, but if you are offline with 3,4, or 5k hp and an onliner with say 1-2k is available, maybe he would be chosen, for the online bonus, instead of just told he is to small...
Again, these are just some thoughts
