The actual purpose of score or ranking other than CV control?

Ego.

Having your name on the front page.

You should have to spend perks to view score. That should cut back on some of the crap in the MA.

Ego.
Yep.

i look at my score sometimes for reference..especially hit percentage. IMO we should keep the scores, but make it so you could only see your own.

Because this is America and in America we keep score and promote competition which is why this is the greatest country in the world. USA Ftw.

There are many ways to manipulate scores so it is difficult to give them too much credence. However you can use it as a tool to measure your own progress. Take fighter score as an example. Your kill to death ratio and hit percentage are good things to track. If you are flying the same types of missions from month to month you will probably see a steady climb in your performance.
But only compete against your self. There are too many variables and ways or styles of play to compare your score with anyone else's.

Maybe this is the time to unveil the New And Improved Aces High Currency: The EGO.
No longer are you awarded "Perk Points" or tour score points or your name in lights when you land. Instead the much more flashy and important: EGO............ :cheers:

Last I checked this is a "game", and "games" have a scoring system of one sort or another. Now I know some of you will have a hard time being convinced it's a game, but, uh, it os. :bolt:

Personally I use score to gauge if I'm doing better or worse in the game. While I'm no score-potato (I know I'll never be #1 and quite frankly don't care about ever being #1) it does give me warm fuzzies to see my rank increase. My highest ever was 290 but I usually hover around 700-800 or so.
I guess if I took the time to up B29's and drop one bomb in the center of every town on the map and if I took the time to run random M3's to bases that are under attack to get a few more base takes then my rank may go up quite a bit but that's not how I play. I also tend to forget to switch planes to "attack" mode when on town-leveling missions so that probably hurts too.

Scores are only there so everyone can deny caring about them.

I totally agree, which is why score and rank get in the way :)

My dear brother, who has 2 daughters that were in that Youth Soccer League, (that does not keep score), explained to me in a condescending tone that, "Without scores, everyone can be a winner".
I countered that "Without scores everyone is a loser".
I really hate that crap.

Not the same thing. I know whether I've won or lost regardless of the 'points'. You get in a cartoon dogfight, and you shoot the other guy down, you know you won. If you get shot down. You know you lost. Needing points or rank as a reward seems silly to me. The "competition" ie; the fight is all I need to keep coming back.
If folks need more then that, so be it.

See previous post :)
I want to win every 'fight' I get into in AH. Again, I don't need any artificial number or attaboy to get me to go into a fight. The win is the fight.
Come to think of it, in a ball game you need points to win. I don't recall a dogfight ever where you got points prior to winning or losing.
