Points show how good you are compared to other players in your division (and in Master/Grandmaster, your league), as long as your bonus pool is low and the bonus pools of your peers are low. That's it.

I made a thread on behalf of everyone who deserves to be in GM and isn't (I'm like mid masters so I'm nowhere near, but I want the people who do deserve to be there to be there) and noone replied to it, I bumped it annd got the usual bullshit of the retards that use b.net forums of "we don't care we're all bronze." I have a bad feeling that this time it's gonna take a lot more than 2 days to fix it, since I'm sure most of blizzard is on winter break right now and noone would want to go and have to fix this again.
Edit: Please be careful, anyone who is bold enough to venture into the battle.net forums. You may wish to avert your eyes, and not stray to any non GM related topics, as the stupidity of the posts on those forums may give you brain damage.

well i guess it's official. blizz doesn't give 2 shits about fixing na ladder. took a whole week the first time to reset it and it looks like they're set on that precedent.

Dude calm down, GM isn't the end of the world. I wanted it too, and unfortunately came home and it was already full, but I'll survive.
It seems some of you didn't read the post how Blizzard is on winter holiday right now and will be back to work starting this first week of January.

Haha, people still care about being in GM league?

i don't know why any1 acknowledges GM. its a joke. it will always be a joke. It isn't instantaneous, it is based off the 200 players at the beginning of the season. Imagine that the ladder is "the big bang" where the universe was created. Now imagine that we could go back to the big bang and measure [X amount of seconds] everything the universe was like at this point in time. Then we imagined this was the universe we lived in and it wasn't. Thanks like GM. Its like accepting something that isn't true.
TLDR; GM is based off top 200 players at one point in time, why should anyone even recognize it as a measure of skill?

Because Blizzard said so.

well the only reason i care about ladder getting fixed is that it won't even let me place in any league right now. i don't need a shiny badge i would just like to get points for ladder and have a moving mmr at the moment

ladder will never be an accurate way to tell who the best players are anyway, so what's the point in even arguing about GM not being representative of the best 200 players?
GM is the best 200 ladder players - think of it that way and u'll be able to sleep at night :D

Some issues lie in how some Blizzard tournament invites are done. In past they've invited players from the top of the ladder. This is possibly an issue if they only consider GM players. Possibly.
|
The GM league is more accurate than people claim and I'm pretty sure they know it but it just makes them feel better about themself saying "being GM means nothing". If a good player spams laddergames he will be GM sooner or later... Of course you can't compare two players and say this one is better because he is GM but come on we all know that the really good players will reach GM anyway if they want to and its extremely easy for them...

No, points correlate strongly with your MMR

you heard it here, folks. xeris has joined the committee to inform the blizzard invitational staff and will be handpicking the players and running the tournament :D
|
yeah of course he will do that
xeris is a boss  so he will manage that
and i think that gm matters quite a bit to those players who want to get really good and want to get picked up by a good team and im sure it will mean a lot to them (and possibly the teams that pick them up) if they are gm or not

There are many people out there who rose from the depths of the ladder to GM through hard work and dedication. I am pretty sure those people care. Hell, when I hit diamond I was proud. Some of us realize that being the best in the world is not the ultimate goal in this game; setting a realistic goal and achieving it is something to care about.

Not really. The presence of the bonus pool screws it all to hell. If there were no bonus pool, players with, say, more than 100 points would be high in their division looking at a promotion, because they have significantly more wins than losses/their wins are giving them more points than their losses are reducing. People with negative scores would be looking at demotion, and players around 0 would be right where they should be. Of course, this makes noobs cry when their points are below 0. Whatever.
