Hey..i am a newbie and started playing from yesterday. I played almost 50 odd games and got a rating of 1310. I logged out and started again after sometime to find that the rating reset to 1200 and games played showed 0. Does anybody know why?..please help

@ JT

It may difficult for some players in the beginning but later it may all fine.So high rate players won’t have to play with like 1300 rate players in leagues in advanced rooms or else.

@ Boto
Don’t worry leagues will always find a way to keep leaving

rating shud not stop at 3500, should just go forever, just to see how far these idiot boosters will run their pointless programs for then ? will we see losers with ratings of 3,877,470,000,000,056 << and it’ll give us all an example of how bored and how long they run their boosters for… after all ratings has been pointless since the day a booster was created.

Bring back to old free ladder rooms like Y!Japan still has Now to play in the “Offical” ladder room you gotta have a star, cept its empty 24/7 with 70 MAX on the ladder and thats only because of the ladder tny offical once a month or w/e it is (prolly less now they gettin strict on hacked accounts in officals so they are empty lol ) The free ladder had over 10,000 on it, surly if they gave back this 1 option to free accounts it wouldnt hurt their profits since its being 100% wasted on star.

YJapan server still has roughly 4000 on the ladder, with great system that prevents ladder boosting …well ALOT, since only 1match per 24hrs counts as a ladder match Per opponent. So to rise rungs you must play different people thru the day, not just sit there beating 1 player over and over, makin boosting ladder rungs near impossible or way too time consuming for them to bother. Id play there all the time if only i could understand them lol.

Agreed with JT. This isn’t 1999. Rating doesn’t determine skill level anymore. There’s boosters to skew everything, along with people starting over on new ids. If we forced separation between ratings how would leagues work out? They wouldn’t. And you’d have all the boosters playing each other in a select few rooms with a wide range of skill levels anyway, since anyone can obtain a booster.

Leagues ever cross ur mind? Some are based in adv rooms w/ players tht are not near 2k
