What is this noncence!

 

Increasing gold ranked from 27 stars to 32 stars to rank out!  This doesn't help on the quality of gold rank players!

It means that only people with no real life to be able to rank out.

 

There is even no more rewards to come with the 5 extra stars!

 

Welcome to wows burnout city I say... Stop with this extortion and give reward and effort a better ratio!!!!

 

If you want ranked to become more of skills so make the rewards come with ranks and not wins!

Nowadays it's just grindfest for all smucks to catch in rewards regardless of how many losses they have to endure.

Just spam play and grief on others to carry their asses to their victory and reward!

 

Make ranks great again!

 

Less stars! Like before and rewards linked to ranks!!!:cap_rambo:

Frankly I'm shocked anyone can go from Bronze to Silver (I can't, not even close)

Massive respect :Smile_honoring:

Stay in Silver Ranked next time m8. I went for qualifying matches for Gold and got nothing but Nahkimov's in every game, broken as it is, being in a Goliath in them first 3 games was a joke.

5v5 and one of them is that silly machine, shame on the people that abuse blatantly broken ships.

Honestly, a lot of it has to do with picking the right "meta" ship.

 

A few days ago I was trying to get into Gold, saw a lot of DDs, so I took out the Nevsky and easily made 3-4 stars, with a couple of games over 2500 xp.

The next day I thought I'd carry on, but now there were no DDs, and my Nevsky got pummelled by BBs and Salems. So I picked Hindenburg and won 4 in a row.

 

In Bronze, I thought I'd go with Haida and Heinrich, but I had a much better time with Mahan and IFHE Helena. Go figure... :Smile_sceptic:

The only things you should aim are the rewards for the wins and relax. Gold league is what it is...the good thing is the steel and the doubloons you get...after that the rank 1 is just a trap to keep you seated and play...

This is what I hate ranked has become. A Randoms 2.0. Ranked is supposed to be a competition for those who enjoy that like me.

 

But you all miss the point. Stopp with star-inflation! And stop with rewards for wins!

was it great before ?

How can we even call this ranked ? It's just random 7vs7...but with increased frustration for those who are looking for real competition.

why should i rank out in gold? for some tokens for some stupid camos? not worth it.

Just play for rewards then i stop.

Steel and doublons.

Enough for me.

It's true... Rank one doesn't offer much in rewards as it used to.

 

In the beginning you got ships like Black after 5 rank 1. That meant few had Black and all could recognize atleast that Black has a good player. 

Now we have the camos. It is something. 

 

For some, like me, it matters to rank out. I understand that others don't 

You exemplifies just the problem with rank.

 

You just GRIND for rewards with WINS and give no thoughts for those who play for competion.

 

The thing would be quite different if you had to fight for RANKS to get rewards! Then you would play good.

To get the rewards is easy. Just spam the damn playbutton. Loose.... Who cares... Just press again... let others do the job to WIN the games!

--- just grief people to get the rewards!

well to get wins i need to take effort, so its not that i go in and suicide. also to get wins fast need to take effort. But the end rewards for rank 1 our not worth to play only ranked for days.

You can litteraly go in and suicide and queue up for the next game. This way you can spam hundreds of games in a day where even with only 20% wr you will have all the rewards, since you cannot drop out of your league. Wonderful isn't it?

actually i want more stars to rank 1 , i hate seeing ranked mode locked for being rank 1 , also i dont know why all this hate for ranked system , majority of the players are more comfortable with this rewards system , also it makes ranked more relaxing for players , i believe before was EXTREMELY ANGRY PLACE to play in .

 

and what skill you got that make it hard for you to carry 1 or 2 ?

Damn right. They griefed all competitive minded players with their ranked rework. Players can litteraly afk their way to all rewards except the pitiful rank out rewards nowadays. Maybe that is also why there are so many afkers and suiciders these days. So sad.... 

 

But since this is what we have now I play them like randoms. Sometimes I try hard and sometimes I goof around. Who gives a **** about the competitive element of ranked anymore anyway.

Oh I know Wulf. Wasn't meant as an accusation to you mate. It's only to point out that with the current system it is possible to go about it like this. As demonstrated by numerous ranked participants.

Did you play and rank out in the old ranked seasons? If not. You cannot know if he is right or wrong.

All Caps and Bold does not give you more credentials, just make you look silly

 

You don't seem to understand a thing I wrote about.  Try read it again... 

 

You are just happy to play randoms with 7-7, 6-6 or 5-5.... That is not RANKED!

Now, if you REALLY want to get perspective on how much Wargaming has increased the grind, think about this:

Under the old ranked system, you needed to rank out three times to earn the top permanent camouflage in the game.

Under the new system, it is not enough that you have to win substantially more games to rank out, now, in order to earn that same top permanent camouflage, you need not 3 ranked tokens, but TEN!

Although the math is not exact, Wargaming has increased the number of games you need to play to earn the top camouflage by somewhere between 1000% and 15000%.

Except nobody cares about that. The rank out rewards used to be substantial amounts of steel and Doubloons. Now, even without ranking out and just spamming games at Rank 10 you receive up to 95% of the rewards. 

 

This new system caters to all the 45% wr spammers who otherwise wouldn't have gotten all rewards because they couldn't climb the ladders up the ranks. But now they don't have too. They just have to play enough games to reach X amount of wins. Bad news for the good players, great news for the bad players.

Another way for Wedgie to fracture the player base even further so there's really bad MM generation.

Pretty much this ^.

Hasn't everyone realized Wedgie likes to give 'atomic wedgies' (I guess not, since so many still get suckered into playing ranked).

It's not yet 'RANK' (as in a bad smell) enough for you all?
