I think most of us would agree the old system was broken/flawed. Now that we have that established, don't you guys believe that a system that is broken/flawed should be fixed and replaced with a system that works? Keeping a broken system, especially a system that identifies your ranking with the rest of the community, is something that should definitely be changed as soon as possible. I think if I posted this a week ago, many people would agree that the system needs an update.
Now that it's happening... Well, peppy has said the ppv2 system he implemented temporarily wasn't accurate, for starters. What you may have seen as your rank then will not be your rank when it comes out properly. Secondly, even if the system was introduced accurately and the rank you did see was accurate and you're upset about how your rank was decreased... Then maybe you didn't belong at the rank you had in ppv1? It was a bad system, seeing the number it gave you as being accurate is just a no.
Whatever rank this supposedly accurate new system gives you should be the one you stick by, not the old one. Criticize it when it is actually out. As for having a sticker or some bullshit showing your ppv1 rank, I think that's a bit against-the-idea seeing as we're trying to replace a broken system. I'm sure you all remember your ppv1 rank - You can just include on your userlog what it was if it means that much to you.
As for the people saying "our efforts have gone to waste", well no. Your efforts of farming pp in the old system may have gone (if you're complaining about it then you're probably a farmer) but if you were actually a good player and believe you belong at the rank that ppv1 gave you, then you should be at a similar rank when ppv2 is released. If not, then use your skills (it's not like a pp change is going to change your ability to play the game) to earn yourself a good spot in the new system. This is assuming the new system is more accurate then the old one.
As for the next week while rankings are disabled, your scores do indeed count towards the new system. There's absolutely no reason to stop trying as much as you were beforehand, the only difference is you don't know if you are ranking up.
