is it really accurate if say i'm on the boards and a lvl 100 takes the bounty with gloat active...they attack and attack losing 200 straight attacks and then win one due to their buffs all lining up and take 200pvp on that hit....does that reflect their pvp skill? they arent called patience or perseverance points are they...sometimes circumstances beyond anyones control play a part in a clear too, i cleared a certain lvl 900 this morning and lost quite a few from just plain bad luck with buffs activating or not activating but if i had been buffed with gloat i'd have been taking 20-40pvp per win and losing just a few points per loss which wouldnt reflect any pvp skill but just the strength of the gloat buff itself

i get penalized for clearing players you can get a bonus for clearing. fairly uncommon for people at my level or higher to show up. i see it as me using the tools necessary to get on the ladder
No one gets a bonus for higher level clears. Gloat is the only thing that can increase rating gain outside of normal rating transfer on the board.

The only thing I would suggest is you get to pick either honor or gloat to use (and once you pick you can't ever use the other buff [Player Reset resets the choice though]).

I still say that pvp rating should not be transferred via the bounty board at all. Let everyone duke it out up and down the pvp ladder. The way I propose, you could attack anyone +/- 10 positions on the pvp ladder (the adjustment for level would still be in effect). That way, the pvp ladder is a bit more of an accurate reflection of pvp prowess and not farming the bounty board.
I would love to be able to smack people on the ladder lol, and of course be hit by them in return.. would be fun.... and players camping/sitting on a lot of rating would never be safe :twisted:

Why do players have threats in their bio regarding Gloat when they use Honor?
They cancel each other in a way, so if you dont like to be hit with Gloat , dont use Honor
And its a game of points now, Gloat just make the ladder fluctuate a bit more if player were not so afraid to get bountied or get hit.
And i still find it amusing that there is a level 5 on top of the ladder .....

And if someone use reckoning as well, then you know for sure when it kicks in

I'd like to see a message in the combat screen that lets you know when gloat is being used on you. That way I know when to counter bounty
you know when its being used cos the guy "clearing you" has it active
:roll:

In a way you are splitting hairs, Gravely (not a surprise that
I don't agree with any buff that randomly can 'improve' the expression of someone's pvp-ing skills with points for a ladder. Especially now the ladder gives rewards, so people are partly getting rewarded for having a buff kick in? That's just a joke.
