I will join the Rag tourney with both accounts simultaneously and see where I end up. On Sunday I will take a look at the top scores in both brackets if they are different. Back in a few.

I am basing this on how the PVE Season brackets are evening out now and the right people are in the top spots, who coincidentally happen to be in my brackets when I PVP now.

If true then it makes sense to avoid S.H.I.E.L.D. Training altogether until the last possible PVP event. I see theunwiseone in my main account bracket now. DecoyDuck too. We're sitting on top of the bottom.

We're sitting on top of the bottom. If you think about it, season ranking is a true measure of where your are at difficulty wise, you may tank the piss out of your MMR, but where you are on average over multiple PVP rounds tells D3 who you should be fighting against. It would appear they have worked to break the code on how we game the system. now if only they would increase reward to match the risk the system would be bearable. As it is people rail against having to fight against teams that chew theirs up for the same rewards as someone gets for beating a level 6 team. If I got the same rewards for killing a level 1 snake as I get for downing the Lich King, I would have never left Goldshire. I would spend my days killing level 1 snakes because it makes no sense to do a 20 minute fight when you get the same payout as a 30 second fight.
