Scoring

[Lusche]

Agreed, but this is more about scoring and how it could be made more objective and less "gamey". Being that some people don't agree with my wish, what are some of your ideas?

I already explained my position on your wish in my initial post.

Sorry, I meant to address it to anyone who might not agree with the scoring system.

How many is that do you think, 5-6?

Not sure which is why I am asking its all meant for conversation if anything,

The scoring is what it is. If you want to rank high, you must play the scoreboard game. Many here know how to play it, just ask and they will tell you what you need to do to be ranked in the top spot.

Your asking for a change because you can't be bothered to do the things needed to be at the top. You feel your style of play should be favored over other styles and so should rank higher more easily.

Sorry it doesn't work that way. Oh and 120 to 0 isn't even close. I think it was Lazer that went 390 to 0 once.

Sigh, what is my style of play? Why make these assumptions? Why say I can't be bothered? (Ranked 9th in attack by gaming the system, which is why I am asking for change, I flew 3(?) Sorties), quit making assumptions of what my style is or what my intentions are, I have made those clear and don't have a reason to hide anything ...

3 sorties and per the ranking system I am a top 10 attack pilot(I'm not, not even close) but it goes to show that something is wrong with the ranking system, which is why I am asking for change...I would like for it to be more objective, which would yield results closer to fact. (My rank would probably be much worse)

Forget the score game or gaming it, it's a waste of timeJust get out there and kill everything you see, works for me.

I don't know what your style of play is nor do I really care all that much. By asking for a change in the system I'm guessing your not being shown in the "light" you think you should be. To many players find it easy and are willing to game the score system so you show more poorly than you think you should, or you don't want to be bothered by having to "play" that game so that you show where you THINK you should be showing. Close enough?

The system is set up to show the best over all players. The problem is that like anything else in a game people look for a way around it. In the old days we use to fly off a base and meet the enemy half way to there base a duke it out at what ever alt half way got you to the deck. Then some people figure it was better to grab some alt and come in high and pick those guys twisting and turning on the deck working for a kill because it took less skill and wasn't likely to get them shot down much...... I'm sure you know the kind 

The point is the system has to be complicated and convoluted to make it as EQUALLY fair to everyone who plays I fly 20 hours a week and if I worked at it I could keep a score comparable to a player who does 700 hours a week. If things were simple I wouldn't be able to keep up with the number of kills a 700 hour player gets, or a player playing in the Euro time wouldn't have a chance to get his K/H any where near someone from US prime time.
