OK, I got it! I found the new thing that can be changed in the game, and I hope Seed takes this seriously:

Seeing as the new ranking system discourages players from n00bslaying, and also seeing as Furigon will make games go a lot slower, I see a potential for n00bs challenging the high ranking players, since losing won't cost them a lot of rank, and winning will yield high returns.

I understand also that the good players will most of the time be able to beat the n00bs without a problem, but it will take them time and will yield little results rank-wise.

As a possible solution, I propose that floors 6-9 be reserved for players of higher rank only. Floors 1 through 5 will be open to anybody, floors 6 and 7 for people with 800 and above, and floors 8 and 9 for people with rank 900 and above.

This system will keep people of equal rank together, yet won't make the floors inaccessible (what I mean is, if you make floor 9 only for ranks 1200 and above, for example, only 1 or 2 people will ever reach that high, so it will never be used, while I expect many people to reach rank of 900)

Please consider this.

Not a bad idea... not a bad idea at all

Maybe slightly different brackets, but the basis of the idea is cool

Do you mean its like stairs? All players can access the lower areas, but you need higher ranks to get to the higher levels?

THAT would be cool. But, if nine was for ONLY 1200 + and they couldn't go anywhere else, it would be kind of boring, with the few that get that high. lol

thats why he said 8-9 for players of 900 or better rank... personelly i say keep it at 1000, four digit rank to be there, but yeah this is a good suggestion

in theory its great, BUT... have you thought about account resets?

when the accounts are reset all the greys will only be able to fill

in the bottom floors, making it almost impossible to get into a

game, which in turn makes it impossible to get a higher ranking,

and so the cycle would go... and, if you say, "well, eventually

everyone whos any good will get a higher ranking," by that time

the accounts will be reset again.

u can get a 800+ rating in 2 hours of play if ur any good, which would open up more floors, so u could get 1000+, at most it would take a week for a good player to get that high, and then all floors would be open and he would have 3+ weeks to mess around there before he had to work his rank back up again, plus this would give added incentive to go gold... oh and btw, i'm a grey

u have a good point, but your saying that you CAN get an

800+ rating in 2 hours, present tense. if the floors were filled up,

and with more players joining all the time, (the ammount of

people i see on servers has doubled-at least- in the short time

ive played) it would take much longer.

also, about you being grey, im not trying to be another whiney

grey complaining about how im getting a bad deal, i just dont

think its all that practical to implement this idea. maybe if you had

more floors on each server to acomodate the ammount of greys

on the lower floors after account resets, but that would take

more server space, which takes time, effort, and cash.
