The rockett said: You realize that personal rank for each pvp, ally rank for each pvp, personal rank for the season and ally rank for the season is STILL point based? So yes, it will be another great season.

broll said: @Brigby Are the devs going to have some new forum of PvP that addresses the issues many of us had for them? Win based had the plug pulled quite abruptly with a promise of working for something better. Please tell us we don't have to spend another season in The Dark Dimension.

So yes, it will be another great season. To be fair, at the very least, i would like them to put wins counts in, while still using the scores, so people can stop "guessing" about how many wins it takes to get to 1200, or 900 for the transitioners. I've speculated before that higher end players such as yourself may be putting up some high wins counts while chasing that top end score, and that is helping to artificially inflate the counts. If you dont mind, there is a player using the name "rocket" name near the top of the pvp leader board, i wonder if it is you? Would you be willing to disclose your score?Then you throw in snipers and people dumping points, and people playing for iso and rewards, it would not surprise me if the average win count is higher than we think.It would also be interesting for the WBAS (wins based appreciation society) to track their win counts as they try to go for their rewards, similar to your endeavors to track those who missed out during that season? Quick edit: i had 14626 points, so i personally benefit from points based, but can understand the argument for wins based

I'm strongly considering quitting the game if next season's PVP isn't at least SOME sort of change. Or at least reducing my play time drastically.
It doesn't have to go back to wins-based (and while I'd be 100% happy with that personally, it really SHOULDN'T be a change back to that because it was a bad system for many others), but man... it's got to be SOMETHING different than this system. The W-B system really made PVP enjoyable for me, and the regression back to points-based has turned it back into a frustrating slog uphill against an avalanche.
I miss the VIP rewards and the after-battle bonus reards, too, but I'm not putting money down for both PVE and PVP to be designed to appeal only to those with the strongest rosters all the time and nuts to everyone else.
I don't mean to besmirch anyone who enjoys the current points-based system. Hey, good on you for digging it. But it's really not for me, and based on what I see, it's not for a lot of others, either. Hopefully next season brings something that appeals to a bigger cross-section of players, is all I'm saying.

I guess if they paired a OSFA wincount with more open MMR so we could knock out the quota easier it might not be so bad, but the mindless grind would be (and was) devoid of what little thrill PvP still retains.
