That is what I believe would be best, yes. Smaller sample of performances so that it encourages players to go for challenging scores, not 'free' pp. Players who are at the highest level wouldn't really be negatively affected by this, because they already try to get a new best score all the time.HamsterCurry wrote:
But if we go by your logic, then the next logical step would be to completely disregard all the lower weighted scores to remove "farming" which is something I think no one would agree with.
However, I do acknowledge that this wouldn't work for all players/ranks, so I agree it's not something that could be implemented.
EDIT: I just read your edit. No, my entire argument has been "farming ppv2 is possible", because certain people seemed pretty adamant about saying the contrary. It's the act of doing what you've shown in your example, however it also has to have a mentality behind it. The mentality of "I'll try this song a few times to see if I can FC, otherwise I'm going to go find another song", and repeat this process until they find it is too hard to get pp. They aren't looking for a challenge, they're looking for an easy FC, thus easy pp.
While I think that ppv2 could be better, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong about the ability to farm. All I've been trying to say, is that "farming ppv2 is possible".
