A certain account join date limit, like registered two months ago to be able to participate, and an activity limit (must have a certain amount of map plays per month, maybe 300?). I guess that would work? And restrict the "big prizes" to the top tiers. The lower tiers could have something smaller, something that doesn't cost money like the highest tier chart prizes (supporter for a year etc).KRZY wrote:
Also Orkel, your idea is fine in theory but probably not as much in practice because people employ multi-accounts D:
The skill thing is true, yeah. About the "peeking", I was thinking about staying in the tier that you first started in even if you go into a higher one during the month.FurukawaPan wrote:
Problem with that is your current rank isn't always indicative of skill. There's a degree of correlation but that's it. Some really pro players who've just not done so many maps, or played it a while back and stopped will be in the lower ranks and easily crush anyone else in the same range. Also what if someone crosses ranks? If during a play of all the maps in say, the 1001-5000 chart, you briefly peek at #972, are you going to start hoping your rank falls below #1000 again so you qualify?
