Actually, that was a genuine wanting of a cookie.... you read too much into it that time.... nothing subtle. O.o
No haz cookies, only cherry flavoured lollipops, you don't want one of these though, trust me.

For a small minority of people hanging around the cut-offs, yes. I really don't think this is the answer either though but it's closer than many suggestions.

i dont see how it will do much, they will just have to be more active is all. Lower level pvper and hunters like me still will not find themselves anywhere near the top of the rankings. Right now the lowest level in the top 10 is 650+, with most of em 800+.They need to have a decay system in place, if not..the higher level players will just gain their rating and sit on the ladder. without barely anyone to hit them etc. A decay would cause them to HAVE to bounty hunt more often and hit more people regularly. More risk for a counter bounty etc, and also a loss or two while clearing the board would cause a drop in rating( if rating is only awarded to the winner, its foolish in my opinion)... there is skill in both attacking a good set up, and also defending against one.

And i think we're just pretty much flapping out lips here. Hcs has told us what they intend to change, i dont think they're looking for any more feedback.

The current ladder is deceptive. How many PvP regularly? Speculating about what will happen is difficult to foresee. I'm looking forward to the major tweak, then undoubtedly there will have to be a touch-up or two to follow. This is normally how it works imo.i dont see how it will do much, they will just have to be more active is all.

My fear is we'll get these changes then they will go back into ignore mode on it if/when it doesn't help.The current ladder is deceptive. How many PvP regularly?

Thanks for telling me, I have not bothered to read the thread so I didn't know that.This as been suggested and Hoof told it will get implentedI'd still like to see you be able to take XP from people under your VL. Otherwise my only option is to bounty instead of hitting back
He just didn't add it to the list in OP

Gravely, you won 27 times before you were beaten 10??? I want to be your disciple. Please teach me oh glorious master. I will carry water, I will scrub your floors, I will sleep outside your door with strings tied to alarms and be your early warning system and take the assassin's knife.

11. Regnier7, here is a cookie (fresh baked oatmeal raisin with light sprinkle of cinnamon), and I did not understand what you said either. I read it 3 times. Did you say that you would take points from the loser and give them to the winner with the fewer points going to the winner if they were higher level than the loser and more if they were lower level than the winner?

6. Gravely, you say limiting the amount of counter damage is eliminating risk. Based on what the people who have attacked me have done, I do not see it. They attack and immediately hide the gold they got. The bounty hunters basically only get the gold/FSP I pay for the bounty. At my level about 45000 gold minimum. They risk counter bounties, that can strip them of much more than that especially if more than one person takes out the bounty. I think limiting is very reasonable and leaves the risk.

I will carry water, I will scrub your floors, I will sleep outside your door with strings tied to alarms and be your early warning system and take the assassin's knife, whatever you wish save warm your bed at night, only please teach me that I may withstand the PvPers attacks. (I have never liked how it is implemented here and now am woefully ignorant for those with experience and wish to attack me.)

People shouldn't be rewarded for surviving on the BB, surviving and showing ones metal is the only rewards a 'bountee' should expect. .
Just had a thought about this, running against my usual mentality of pvp is the devil etc etc. How about the introduction of a new medal.
Not sure on the name, but in essence it would be for those that excel in survival on the bounty board. That way only the bounty winner 'can' take rating, however there will be a medal, a public display of skill for those that can win in defense on the bounty board.
Not sure on any numbers either though tbh, I would guess that they would have to be high though, like 75, 200, 500, 1500? Just a rough idea I know, I'm actually a bit sick today, bite me :evil:
