Remove 1 Man "Squads" From Squad Rankings

[waystin2]

Please remove 1 man "squads" from squad rankings.

[Volron]

That makes sense.  It's a squad activity, not a "lone wolf" activity.  What should the minimum for a squad be though?  I would say 2 is too few.  Maybe 4?

OK pal what do you have against 1 or 2  man squads?

Why have a 1 or 2 man squad?

Why have a 1 or 2 man squad?

My original reason for creating one  was to prevent sudden squad invite popups, which you could not (aand probably still can't) disable.

[waystin2]

I understand Lusches reasoning, but there are currently 4 people occupying the squadron rankings unfairly in this current list.  They should be removed from the ranking system for squadrons, let them keep their name tag, but remove them from the rankings. 

[DmonSlyr]

I've wished for this before.

    There are at least 4 multi person squadrons that are not being recognized for their efforts right now.  Reward them I say.

I was going to say that one of those is me.  But you are looking at highest ranking squads, and I certainly don't qualify.

Back when my brother was flying with me, the two of us formed "The Oak Tree Air Force".  He has had to drop out due to computer problems, and no telling when or if he will be able to come back.  When it was the two of us, it was very handy to have a squad channel that I could use to teach him the game. 

I think teaching scenarios like this would be a valid reason to keep the 2-person minimum rule.

Makes sense.

Then the better wish is for squad of less than a certain number not be ranked in squads.

Evidently scoring is important for some squads.

You could Barry Bonds* them if only one player is in the squad roster. Then HTC sets the auto sort so they show below the multi-member squads. After all the data pool being pulled from is tagged as "squad" which is free to anyone even if it is only themselves as the single member. Is it really possible for a single player to perform better than a collective of players where it comes to what is scored for squads? Can't some data point be pulled from unique to multi-member squads that an individual can never score better, which then acts as the key in sorting out squads made of single individuals?

They could set 4 minimums. If there is only one, then the other three slots are filled with zeros thereby affecting average. Same if only 2 or 3.

This allows just a single to make a squad so he or she is not bothered by squad invites.

So it seems.

Alternatively, you could just ignore the ranks of the small squads!

I'd say a minimum of 4-6.   

+1
