Has CG ever said why they won’t or can’t fix the rankings so players from lower levels don’t get vaulted up to the top of K1 for doing nothing? 60% of the top 50 in K1 are small or zombie accounts. I assume this pushes some deserving people out of K1, which impacts their crystal currency. So this seems like a material issue of game integrity and equity that would require a fix.
What's your ally ID? Maybe if we can see your graph, we can explain it.
I can check logs or charts right, but the fact that I am moved up means that when I woke up in the morning my whole team is destroyed. I’ve spent my time to build up a competitive team at my level, I’m not speding tons of money on it, so I am really sad.
What if you win continiously in a lower league in any sport? You will be moved with max 1 level, not 3-4-5, right?
Now I don’t play and hope that I will be moved back soon to the place I belong.
This kind of ranking is not fair, I don’t want to meet 7-10 gl-s just to loose, I’m not at that level, so thank you very much EA, you make a really nice job!
how does it came?
You can check your GAC chart on swgoh.gg
I was moved recently and accidentaly to Bronzium 1 from lower carbonit levels, no I am facing 10m+ opposites with 6-8+ GL’s with my 5.8m 1gl, how does it came?
Hope dies last, yeah? Or my playmood?
PVP isn't high priority because they give the same rewards regardless of who wins. It's been going on for two years now, which means it's not a big deal to them. Sure it's a more complex problem, but over $2 Billion in revenue says you should be able to fix a GAME Bug. NASA is fixing issues on telescopes and rovers hundreds of thousands of miles away over a 9k modem, but CG can't fix a tier ranking bug in a video game. If it stopped players from spending on GAC, they'd definitely put more resources into fixing it since players are spending on GAC significantly enough.
Their only "updates" for GAC and TW are datacrons that are procedurally generated garbage. Along with offering "rentals" of one single FDC for 100 dollars! (Not to mention the occasional stupid level OP regular DC like Vane's one-shot anything, including GL's, datacron.)
But there are a dozen other bugs still impacting players negatively as well that aren't being addressed in a timely fashion. I'd like to think that this new paint job means they'll be working to fix issues of the past, but their track record is questionable in that regard.
The issue is (or was) that inactive players in Bronzium and Chromium were getting their skill rating passively increased by the squish mechanics, even when they aren’t active and signing up. When the player starts using the account again after say a couple of years, skill rating is maxed at 5000 despite them being in Bronzium or Chromium.
After that it doesn’t even matter their results, they’ll be top of their division and promoted to top of K1 even if they lose all their matches. Funny thing is they end up facing the same people with the same issue all the way up to Kyber cos their skill rating is miles above the rest of the division.
i don’t know if the issue is still happening or if there are still accounts from pre-fix that have been inactive the whole time and returning now.
Don’t understand why the fix was never simply GAC is yearly and all accounts are reset after 365 days. Seems simpler than, oh I haven’t logged on in two years, I’m now Kyber 1 for a few weeks until I get bounced out. In the mean time, because I came back and was #10 Carbonite in 2022 I push everyone who’s been playing down ranks and they all get bumped to K2 and it's a chain effect on all ranks after you lose or win your first match, because, reasons.
Number 6 in Kyber 1, probably pushed everyone down then bounced because he realized his account won't compete on his 5 year old shard. To their credit, number 6 and 7 each have current Era toons to 65.
So a worst case for crystals lost if you’re pushed out of K1 each cycle would be something like: 20 crystals/day x 365 days x 2.5 years= 18,250 crystals lost. Over $100 in crystals is not nothing.
It all went wrong when they realised they were squishing K1 - K3 too heavily. I think they didn't take into account that K1 can't be promoted, thus more divisions get negative squish in Kyber than positive. Once they fixed the formula, we started to get these anomalies.
New GAC started pretty much at the start of 2022. My Google AI is stating that they changed the squish formula near the end of 2023. The small accounts in Kyber issue started not long afterwards.
