Plain and simple. I'm tired of seeing these threads about people 'cheating' in GD every other week  :furious

You mean the current score rank system?  If so, what do you recommend to replace it? Because right now, it makes it from any average joe from getting their hands on a CV (superiors can take control from the lower ranking players).

 Simple,dont read them!    I'm not sure why a person who no longer plays is concerned with anything in a game they don't play.....just don't make cents to me..... :rolleyes:

  The community does a fine job policing itself,what HTC does about it is up to them and not a public issue.

I'm sure snail would agree with me.

I think we need more ranking / scoring / stats.   AH already has one of the best statistical representation break downs I've seen, however Skuzzy would REALLY enjoy making even more databases that could search scoring categories.

I would like to see every stat searchable by leaderboard lets say top 100.  Ftr hit % KD, points, perks, KPH,  total kills, life time K/D, lost planes, deaths,

I would then like to see all of these across multiple tours.

Then maybe total wars won by country <-- don't really care for this one myself but I know others do.   

There are loads of things that can be added to make Snailman's wet dreams come true.   I did find spatulas old program on my g/fs machine yesterday and it can do most of the things for one player at a time.

Surely you did not make this statement with a straight face...  :confused: 

Prove that this computer games' rank/score in any way, shape, or form is at all an indication of superior ability, skill, or judgement! From my observations the CV tends to be misused, or abused, or lost, or hidden more often by those exact players you appear to claim are in some way better than the "average joe" than the other way around.

I have no intrest in ranks whatsoever and I do think in some minor ways ranks have a negative impact on the game. However, there are a reasonable percentage of players who enjoy the ranking system and I see keeping these players in the game as far more important than eliminating the few negative aspects of rankings.

Rank is too precious to many.  You will never see them gone.  Most of the attention potatos are on ignore anyways.

I can only speak for myself. I adopted a mentality i used for years when i played call of duty. You play hard,  in this game the contra fight or die, only leave when unable to fight Ie no ammo. Now with that being said i need to assess my skills so as to work to improve. Once you find that you work at improving it  in cod i used kill to death and win percent with my clan. In Ah i use squad rank for an assessment of where we fit in. I use kd and hit percent for me as well as damage points in fighter. I feel there are some that game the score but what does that prove? Im not playing to boast to say im better i play for the company the thrills of a good fight the score is for me to know how iom doing. I hope that made sense

 Yes this is true as he started a new account shortly after I posted my remark!


  Still doesn't change what I said.

  PS: check my score or rank.... I have none nor do I care about that but I know plenty ingame do so I don't think any changes need to be made.

Sometimes I go up in bombers, bomb my target and kill 2-4 fighters, but apparently this is not used in scoring me as a bomber crew.

With regards to ranking they need to remove the names that are indicated as invalid in the top 25 for squad rank. On some tours they take 3-4 slots nt allowing squads with a roster on to the top 25
