Leaderboard

Current rule: "Note: If your deaths exceed 50% of your kills (i.e. if you have 100 kills and more than 50 deaths) you will receive 4 PvP Ladder Tokens instead of 10 PvP Ladder Tokens. Prizes will be given out after the ladder week has been posted" I think that this rule needs to be changed. My suggested change: If your deaths exceed 50% of your kills you are removed from the weeks ladder entirely. Meaning who ever was below you will take your slot. Example: Mr X : 1000/300 Mr Y: 600/200 Mr Z: 200/140 Mr SrubbyMcNoob: 150/50 Mr Z would be disqualified from the 3rd place position and removed from the ladder for that week. ScrubbyMcNoob would take his place as 3rd place and receive the prize. My reason: This is meant to promote team play in PvP and less what I'll call "buff-and-burn players". A buff-and-burn player will get full buffs (whether that be Mind Break/Provoke/ Gospel), run into pvp and try to kill as many people as possible before dying. This person will most likely equip items like orc lords as they have no hope of survival, they just want as many kills in a few seconds as possible. This play style is simply the easy way out for many people. A champ can run in and asura paladins or people with orc lords with 2x atk and take them with them. Doing this enough times they can get up to 2nd or 3rd place with a ratio like 200/250 and still get a prize. I don't believe this is fair. Even without buffs it isn't hard to run in and bolt the crap out of unsuspecting people then default maya/orc lord to try to pick up that extra kill when the whole team stops shitting themselves and focuses you. I don't believe these players should be rewarded for this kind of game-play over people who keep decent ratios. More team play leads to a more active ladder, a more active PvP room, and a more active server. I believe Gene Wilder puts it best:

Simply put ::: Mix A = STR, AGI, VIT + 20 (first 3 stats) Mix B = DEX, INT, LUK + 20 (last 3 stats) Mix C = STR, VIT, DEX + 20 (1st,3rd,5th) Mix D = AGI, INT, LUK + 20 (2nd,4th,6th) ... and of course their ND counterparts. Pro's There's a few different builds that would benefit Tokens would be drained from the server Donations may occur Con's (fill in the blank)

Char, problem is, if you try to compare the PVP back from the Days, ND and stuff, you just cant. fRO has evolved in a level that, in order to win this ladder, you need help from others, because of the buffs and nerfs, new weaps and stuff, things that you havent seen in a while since you were gone for a while. I think, like Pablo said, leave this suggestions to people PvP active and go help other suggestions. I am totally agree with this suggestion, if you have a bad ratio, you shouldnt be rewarded, its like school, bad grades = no gifts.

god you're a moron you have NO idea what that shitty dadron3 kid was doing, he'd go in there with sinx on X2 OL and buff for sonic blow and get DESTROYED, he pvp's for MAYBE 2days maximum and look at his ratio, you think he deserves anything? fuck no

Char I'm reluctant to take your oppinion legitimately for a few reasons. You've been off the server for like what? A year? You can't just pop back in after being gone for so long and expect things to be the same and your opinions to still be relevant. Have you ever laddered for first place before? And if so how many times? It doesn't matter what the ideal situation would be; our PvP ladder is for people with the best gear and the bigger gangs. New players will NEVER stand a chance. You're speaking idealism while I'm speaking realism. Someone who has been on this server for say 2-3 months has a great disadvantage to those who have been here years. Veterans know how the server works. They know how each class works here. And they have accumulated more items they being loyal to the server for a longer period of time. If someone could join the server and be winning the PvP ladder solo in a matter of months then what is the point of all the veterans putting in so much work for years? In short; PvP ladder is not for new players. It will never be. The only reason people won with non-donation gear in the past is because epic items like valk weapons/emps weren't even out or weren't available. Now emps are 295 tokens and everyone has valk weapons. New players with low-tier gear winning ladder is impossible.

I do agree with this because even if you do have a gang of 10 people with you a full asura champ with gospel, provoke , ws buffs all that can just come in kill one person and take another kill with defaulting 2x OL's. That's not what ladder is suppose to be and has never been like that but theres so little people actually trying to do ladder now that people like this can actually take 1st and 2nd place before they wouldnt make it in the top 5 because we had more active players but things have changed. PvP ladder was suppose to be whoever can PVP the best gets first place, not whoever reflect kills enough people gets rewarded for it.
