Be jealous!* *The above statement was brought to you by pointless beta ladder ranks and pointless threads coalition. Building a better tomorrow at the sacrifice of today. | ||

Oh does it? http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23766800567&sid=5000&pageNo=2 Post 35 Sorry I misunderstood what the OP was referring to. I didn't mean to imply that one division is ranked better than the other, but simply explaining the basics of divisions. As far as comparison across divisions it's certainly something we've considered but there are issues, such that the rankings in one division don't directly translate to the other divisions. So you couldn't compare division 10 to division 48 and compare one player's points to another. | ||

If you are 200 pts below somebody in your division, that person is 200 pts better than you. That does not apply if you are in separate divisions. edit: proof (found by shinosai) http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23766800567&sid=5000&pageNo=2 | ||

 It's definitely a step up from just stating your ranking, but to be perfectly honest, I don't think your rank in beta should really bolster your credentials or add support to your argument. At the end of the day, everything should just be supported with good analysis, facts, and logic. Especially in beta with such a small pool of players, most inexperienced. | ||

Can you explain why they would be different? I can't figure it out. The only thing I can think of that would separate the divisions would be the length of time one player has over another in accruing bonus points. Apart from that, why wouldn't their rankings be basically relative to one another? Everyone plays outside his own division, so why would 1400 points earned in division 53 not be similar to 1400 points earned in division 54? Your point about whether you are "even" with your opponent is irrelevant, as the favored system is almost certainly broken at the moment. | ||

How would you know? You don't even have the beta, just read your key-begging thread. | ||

Your point about whether you are "even" with your opponent is irrelevant, as the favored system is almost certainly broken at the moment. I don't see why we would assume the Blizzard poster would be wrong. They usually give us pretty accurate information, and if they don't, they generally correct it. They would be different if every division existed in its own bubble, and gave points based on how well you were doing in comparison to your division rather than comparing yourself to the player base as a whole. Which is precisely what the blue poster implies when he says that points are not directly comparable between divisions. | ||
