Anet Seriously... STOP Screwing with Glicko
We shouldn’t have to transfer, our server was doing just fine where it was but because Anet couldn’t see what every other NA player could see would happen in T4 they artificially boosted a T4 server and sent a server that wasn’t even close to falling into T4 down the drain.
6/25-7/2: CD+: 467,432: SF+: 329,154: DH+: 270,730
7/02-09: CD+: 424,620: SF+: 289,650: DH+: 258,247
7/09-16: CD+: 408,743: SF+: 292,219: DH+: 249,083
7/16-23: CD+: 417,859: SF+: 302,229: DH+: 220,472
7/23-30: CD+: 430,235: SF+: 276,330: DH+: 212,783
7/02-8/6: SBI+: 451,738: SF+: 252,310: DH+: 236,462
With the present server links, there are only 2 T4 servers. CD+ may or may not qualify to be in T3, but they aren’t on the same level as SF+ and DH+, either. The linking is the problem.
You could just deal with it too. The server pairings are going to change eventually or just transfer if you hate it so much.
You’re missing the point, we shouldn’t have to “just deal with it” we should not have been placed in this position to begin with. We shouldn’t have to transfer, our server was doing just fine where it was but because Anet couldn’t see what every other NA player could see would happen in T4 they artificially boosted a T4 server and sent a server that wasn’t even close to falling into T4 down the drain.
Anet should have and could have stopped this before it even happened, but as usual, neglect is the easiest route.
Not exactly. I mean, glicko scores are based solely on the host server, so cd’s glicko didn’t accurately reflect its capabilities and it was stuck in a matchup that wouldn’t give it enough to move up a tier no matter how high its score (as you’re experiencing now).
Afaik, Anet gave cd a glicko buff for the purposes of matchmaking only (for two weeks). They’ll probably do it again this week too and, if they do, I imagine it’ll be closer to a +100 buff. That will put you, them, YB, and SoS in the running for the T3 matchup, but one of you will end up in T4.
All that means is they dealt with an unfair glicko wall that would have kept cd in hell for the entire duration of the current linking, and you ended up with 2 weeks of it (and maybe more, depending on your luck going forward).
Being on a server that will get crushed every week no matter which of you ends up drawing the short stick, I can’t say I have a lot of sympathy for you. I mean… you’ve had two weeks of crushing your matchups. Suck it up, buttercup.
My point was it could have been prevented if Anet hadn’t allowed the quad server, and they should not have. CD +1 is not in the same Ball park as the rest of T3. That quad server linking should have never happened to begin with and all of this would have been prevented. Anet created the imbalance in T4, it was not the players, it wasn’t 4 T3 servers, it was 3 T4 server one of which was over inflated creating a (debatable) 4th T3 server.
The point is Anet needs to wake up and pay attention, anyone who didn’t see the issues the quad server would create was hiding their head in the sand.
To make it worse, leaving it without some kind of intervention for 8 weeks is not the best of plans. Most of us knew what would happen within the first 5 minutes but if they really wanted to be sure 1 week was more then enough to see the damage being done. They should have stepped in after the first week and manually adjusted the links to prevent any further damage.

While like all of us, I can only speak for myself, I initially was concerned about the unfair treatment of SBI in being demoted twice after their big win in T3.
Due to vitriolic and rubbish posts I now have other more pressing concerns.
Those of you making constructive comments, thank you.
Those of you who think you are the only gamer on the planet. Cut it out, you are not that important. Please try to make suggestions that Anet can actually consider.
Thank you.
