I have dropped thousands of stam doing ONLY PVP and hitting every single Player in my Range fighting several good players going from 1800 to 1300 daily it seems... but with the 500 cap... I can only go so far up the list.

The Idea was to see how high I could get on the PVP Ladder by just strictly doing PVP. I can tell you that it is impossible due to the cap to gain the number one spot.

Because of the cap I would have to Bounty Hunt in order to gain a higher place on the PVP Ladder. This is a problem to me...



Please Consider removing the CAP in PVP.

The cap was put in place for exactly this reason, people were just attacking people for unlimited pvp points...as it is now you have to do some pvp and some bounty hunting to get to the top...granted bounty hunting is the easier way to stay at the top. but with out the cap we would be seeing people go well over 3k points again just because they hit the same people over and over for a few points each hr. mush easier to abuse that system

Yea I understand your point and agree to an extent... but 500 in my opinion is to low.. That means I cant target for PVP all the pvpers in my range. PVPers i.e. other players with a rating. For example I have 1700 and another player has 1199 I will gain nothing for the attack... It should be called the PVP players Ladder Leader Ranking Cap as essentially that is exactly what it is doing to me.

I guess I have to deal with the fact that I will have to bounty hunt to gain any higher on the PVP ladder. I have very little patience for that. But it is what it is I guess. The only time I Bounty Hunt is to go after a challenging bounty a few hundred levels above me. *not conducive to a healthy PVP rating lol*

I think I may just stick to PVP and Give my rating away to a selected Player to help insure a PVPer controls the top spot. I'll have to think on this. I know others are considering the same thing.

I have done no pvp except for 100 stam gold hits and one bounty (which I gained no rating from) since the last ladder reset. My rating, before today when about 8 people decided it's be a good idea to take the same bounty, hovered between 1100 and 1300. Imo, that's about right. I wasn't choosing my targets for rating, so I shouldn't be massively rewarded with rating.

500 is what it has always been, the only time it was not at 500 was that 1-2 week period after the initial reset as hoof forgot to program it back in. Trust me its always been a pain with the cap to get to the very top of the ladder, but it should require work and planning to get to the top of something no?

If it was just who could hit the most people over an extended time there really wouldnt be much skill to it other then the chance of getting bountied. at least players in your situation are able to gain a lot of your rating through straight pvp, and can climb the ladder quicker, but u may also hit the ceiling a bit faster as in the long run u are not able to take all the bounties others can, BUt I have seen level 60 players this week get to #1 several times from just PVPing each other as they had a bunch of targets in range with decent pvp rating.

Work lol yea no doubt.. and the level 60 player who made it to top of the PVP ladder from just PVP. *Imagine that!*

It is skill to fight players in your range, especially other PVPers... as those are the ones to target. I would argue more of a skill than collecting bounties of players hundreds of levels lower.

Simply put as it stands now I cant PVP with gain some other PVPers. But I'll digress Leo as the bounty hunting aspect of this cant be ignored as much as I'd like to. V```V I'll just have to roll with it lol
