This means that with the current drop rate, across all sever we could have a rate X rares drop per minutes and that X determine how rare the item will be valued. Increasing the drop inside a global trading system also mean that you are increasing the item quantity therefore decreasing the item demand which ultimately defeat the F2P model. Just like match making, i believe Valve is taking their time to test out the business model that they will be using in the future. Oh, that wasn't what I meant. Use the current normal droprate (+ a small percentage) as the default droprate for the people with no or almost no leaves/reports. The more leaves/low priority smackdowns you have the lower your droprate sinks. Just sell it as "Less leaves = more items!" insead of "More leaves = less items!" and have a certain number of games played treshhold which you need to qualify for the increased droprate. | ||

This would solve both the leaving issue and the devaluation of items Would suck since it's tied to your steam account. Afaik the only way to lose access to a steam game in some way or another is if VAC kicks you out for cheating/hacking on a source engine game. Should stay that way imo. | ||

After your other typical items (Armlet, BKB), you're lacking Attack Speed, not damage. The Maelstrom is also practical earlier to help you farming speed, as Skeleton King does not have any way to AoE flash-farm, and the Static Charge active is a significant source of damage, as you want to be out there and die once in a fight. why not ac | ||

With how much money people have on their Steam account, banning is something Valve need to do really rarely if they don"t want tons of lawsuits against them. =X | ||

That's what I've been saying in the Surrender thread. Valve can put the Surrender option in, as long as it has some penalty on it, for example, when you call Concede vote, something like "By conceding the game, you'll only have 25% exp gain, item drop rate and rare item top compared to normal. Do you want to concede?" or/and "You already conceded one/two game today, you are not allowed call/vote for concede anymore (only 4 other players can vote to decide)" Let's face it, the game is gonna be free, with the way dota2 account is right now, stuffs like smurf accounts are gonna happen a lot. In stead of fighting against the concede function, people should try to find a way to limit its use or something. | ||

Also wtf are the joindota staff smoking? http://www.joindota.com/en/news/4919-introducing-the-pro-rating That reminds me of a certain organisation who managed to punish players for every written word that's not "gg" in the end. Someone help me, it was something with K. Kes.... HMMMM.... KESPA MAYBE? Edit: I think deducting money form the prizepool is not the way to go. I can see fines work better than that. Imagine a football game where the winning team get's 10% from their prize money deducted because "They talked too much on the field" or "They sounded stupid in their interviews". | ||

They are going to reduce your prizemoney if you use standins to crush through easy preliminaries? o.O You lose prizemoney if you shoutout during pauses? To be fair, there is a need for professionalism in the scene, especially using appropriate names etc, but this system is a complete joke :/ | ||

But friendly banter like the xboct namechange in TI2 should be fine. A SHOUTOUT TO XY during a pause or a non important moment is fine too by me. If things get out of hand you have referees around who can step in with decisions on the spot, there's no need to write up every single thing a team does or doesn't. | ||

You have to have a sub 5 point rating for your tournament overall to be penalised, and each match is 1-10 rating (starting at 10) with bigger weighting to the more important games. As far as I can see you could have 2 standiins and show up 10mins late one day, and as long as you showed up with your normal line up on time the next game you'd still be averaging a 6 etc. Doubt any team who makes it to the prize stages will fall foul of the rulings. | ||
