just a mistake as its seems to be the standard posting or was it
laziness to change it to match the actual discount?

competition is just a "perk" for the

"thank-you"..."we appreciate your contributions"... etc...
We will all have to wait until after the contest is over, and the winners are listed......only then, can we analyse the data....and find out if anyone really "wins" a type-59....or, (because they already own one...), win just the gold equivalent...?)
And, most importantly, are all the prizes just going back to the elite...again....?

Major_Rampage: I think it depends on your play style. I am pretty
decent at Tanks, but I specialize in TDs. I
am not what people would call the Super Elite. But I
think I am doing well enough on the TD line I would have placed in
a few categories while grinding up the
line.
It's like the All Stars or Black Tom, all it takes it one really good game.

Just pointing out that your statement is incorrect, and it indeed is mind boggling that some of these are already in there and more have a chance. It is true, they will eventually rise back to a more proper league......but if they are in open, it will take two seasons minimum. So be it, it are what it was.

Yoott: Yeah you guys stink, an uninstall should be in your near future..
.... err I mean I
do agree with you these teams shouldn't be down in open league
unfortunately it seems to be what is going to be..... I prefer the
round robin style from the Classic where even if you have a bad
game but win the other 4 or 5 in your bracket your still in great
contention to move up. Plus playing a variety of teams/maps to earn
the spots where one team may be better at a certain style then
another. More of a broader spectrum of a teams abilities. Also
allows for that slip up and still have a chance for recovery as
long as you dont have more.Everyone has a bad night or a bad draw
(for us its when we draw you guys lol) and this format was very
unforgiving for that on night 1 and 2.... past that it was more
forgiving but still.

Subject: Player BLACK-LIST from pub games
Link on message: #3960058
Link on message: #3960058
dance210: OP, let me see if I correctly understand what you have written. A
player on your team decided to damage/kill a friendly tank? An
offense which is handled automatically, and if done enough will
result in a ban? Because the SU-5 broke the rules, you want him
placed on a black-list to get longer queue times?
You then noticed the offending ally in front of you, so decided to push him, possibly into enemy fire? Which is considered griefing and also against the rules, although handled manually. By your logic, this means that you should also be placed on a black-list, resulting in longer queue times. Thank you for admitting that you are no different than the person you are ranting against (in my opinion, you are actually worse).
To the driver of the SU-5 (or anyone else subject to such griefing): I encourage you to submit a support ticket with a replay attached of the OP pushing you, which should result in a one day ban for a first offense.

Major_Rampage: This is a part of my job running contests.
Let me compare this to two other events I run.
The amount of time it takes to process the caption contest each week the way it was run, was the amount of time it takes for me to organize the entire sheriff event, or the amount of time it takes to organize and run two weeks worth of tank companies.
It's not a matter of it being my job, it's a matter of figuring out how to maximize the impact of my time, and spending up to 8 hours reading all of the captions each week (while thrilling), was not the maximum impact. But if you have a suggestion on how you think it might be better run, I am always open to suggestions.

If you ELO rank the players, then there is no reason to keep (not required, can still do obviously) the teams ranked. the team rankings come from the players that make up that team at any given time, NOT based on history. For instance, Victorious Secret is not ELO ranked at this time......so, every tournament they join and throws off the goals of using ELO in the first place. However, is each player has a visible, or hidden ELO ranking and forms the team......they are automatically assigned a value for the team and seeded appropriately.

Point is, if the players that make up a team TODAY are not ELO ranked, who cares about an ELO ranking for a team. It's meaningless.

Point is, if the players that make up a team TODAY are not ELO ranked, who cares about an ELO ranking for a team. It's meaningless.
Captain_Judo: You raise legitimate concerns with this current system. But I don't
think this solution is just realistic at our current capacity. Even
using XVM, as you point out later, we would still need to manually
gather the data for each player.
As we've said before, we introduced a ranking system with full intention of allowing it to evolve. I think before we look for solutions, let's gather feedback from what the source of the problems are.
Keep in mind that this system currently only seeds teams for challenges and classic tournaments.

I know you (WG) don't want to tie players to individual teams for tournaments, etc. You know you can still tie them in to a category, not a particular team. You would need to rank the players individually. The players themselves need ELO rankings or the team ELO rankings mean jack nothing. If you ELO rank the players, then there is no reason to keep (not required, can still do obviously) the teams ranked. the team rankings come from the players that make up that team at any given time, NOT based on history. For instance, Victorious Secret is not ELO ranked at this time......so, every tournament they join and throws off the goals of using ELO in the first place. However, is each player has a visible, or hidden ELO ranking and forms the team......they are automatically assigned a value for the team and seeded appropriately. There is none of this "considered 1200 ranking", etc, etc.

I would buy most of these tanks in a second .
