You need to give newer players a chance to have a nice rank as well. If they are talented players, they deserve the rank that they earn. Should a terrible football player be chosen for an all-star team just because he has been playing football for a long time?
If the rank of toribash players right now were based on skill I wouldn't feel the need to write out an essay. I'm sorry but you can't convince me that it's anywhere near a *great system to deduce skill* when there are established excellent players in great clans like Alpha, RAWR, RelaxAll, and Urban whos rank is in the THOUSANDS.
If your global was a cumulative figure based on... multiple mods maybe we'd have something more to talk about that. But currently, if you're to equate skill to rank, you're saying the guy whos ranked 1st in jousting and katana is the best player in toribash.
If it were decided that like your cumulative average in:
Jousting
Wushu
TK
ABD
Judofrac
or Something along those lines was your rank, then fine. But the whole system is discriminatory against the mods that actually require "skill" as you put it.
