I'm sure I'm not the only person who is dissapointed with the way the ranking system currently works. It seems like madness to not award more points for beating superior ranked players, as this means you can easily accumulate points by picking inferior players and beating them.
When I first started playing online, I played a Div 1 guy in the top 1000, and hammered him 4-0. I was awarded around 50 points for this. I then played a bog standard Div 3B guy and beat him, and was awarded roughly the same amount of points. On top of this, for some reason, if you play the same person again soon after playing once, you only win around 20 points.
Anyway, I was chatting to someone yesterday, and he told me he had received an email from Konami a few months back saying that on December the 19th the ranking system was going to get an overhall. I can't find any information on it anywhere else (and apologies if it's been mentioned elsewhere on these boards, but I searched and couldn't find anything), so I thought I'd ask you guys whether you knew anything about it.
I think it should be possible to win far more points for beating higher ranked players. At the moment, the guys with higher rankings are not necessarily much better than anyone else; they just have to have played more games.
Anyway, do any of you lot know anything about this?
