How does the old bounty board and ladder help new players? If anything how many have been chased off because they did not comply to the unwritten rules.
As far as medals... Where were you to help complain about how easy it is to get chest medals now compared to previously? I believe there were a bunch of other medals that are much easier to get now too. Never heard you complain. Titan doubler makes titan hunting 4x easier. Never heard you complain either. Didn't hear titan hunters complain...
On the old bounty board new players would pay 1 ticket to clear anyone. In regards to helping new players the old and new bounty board would not be much different for new players.
If there were unwritten rules, they were still rules that make sense and they were often posted in peoples bio's, if you don't want to read a bio then you should not be worried about consequences, if you are level 50 and you try and clear a level 900 and they get buffed and you can't finish then you deserve to lose 5 levels if the person wants to post for making them waste buffs and taking xp for nothing. Almost no one (like more then 99% of people being posted) would counter bounty a clean clear for no reason.
They could actually be competitive on the old ladder with other players their level instead of have no chance as they do now. There was one player below level 1000 in the titan league last I checked, he was level 800+, in last place with negative rating. I'm sure a level 80 would do much better though right?
One thing for sure the titan league compared to the old ladder is not only not helping new players it is excluding them completely. If you don't see that then you turned your brain off.
No one has quit because of the old bb and ladder but many will with the new one.
I don't care about any other medals I'd never titan hunt, and I don't pay attention to them for the most part. Especially with the scripters who can 1 at a time get away with being faster then 10 hunters and who have been reported more than 100 times with no consequence... I won't rant on that too much here though
Making titan doubler is not the same as changing titan hunting completely like the way pvp has been changed.
