So, I've had this idea for a pretty long time.
Some people who like farming or who play for pp get frustrated when they have reached all their goals in terms of pp or other statistics. I think this is also one of the reasons people multiaccount, they want to "relive the joy" of starting over (Of course not all of them do, but at least some of them do.). I would really just like to be able to start over again and achieve my scores and goals another time, like building up my pp again.
So, what I was thinking is that you can have one main account that you play on, everything is ranked on there. Then, you could create subaccounts that are not visible for ranking. These don't show up in any scoreboards, leaderboards or in any other way, just as if they were local accounts, except their plays get counted and everything gets calculated and treated like all the official scores. This could also be used in other ways than for your own need to get pp again, like for example when you have a friend over who wants to play, but you don't want to log off (for whatever reason, this is just a stupid example).
This could be done by clicking on your own "playercard" (I don't know what exactly you call it, I'm sorry.) in the song selection menu. When you click it, a list pops up (Just like when you klick on the "Sort by ..." and "Group by ..." tabs) with your current account and a plus with a "create new unranked account" next to it.
When you click on the "create new unranked account", you get to a screen with options, just like registering. You can set your name (names can be used multiple times because they aren't ranked anyway) and a password if you want to and that's it.
That unranked account will be shown in the list after it's created.
(The small thing written over the "I've been waiting for..." card says "(unranked)".)
You will see what your rank would be, how many pp you would have, what your accuracy would be and just everything you can see when playing online, just without anyone else seeing it. (The profile should be accessible online to see stats tho, maybe you can have another tab on the profile of a user for that.
Now you can press on the "playercard" and choose one of the accounts you want to have. The name, password (if you have one) and stats are saved on the server and you can play on them even if you lose all your data. Your "playercard" in the song selection menu will be your active account.
On this account, players can do everything they want. I don't think it would completely stop all of it, but I'm sure this would help with people who hack and multiaccount. Some people don't want others to believe that they are really good, they just want to have fun (And yes, to some people hacking is fun. Just like multiaccounting, they just want to have fun again).
This could also be a feature for supporters or a feature that costs money, just like the name changes.
I've had this idea mostly because I felt the need to start over again, just to reexperiencing starting over again, even if you can't reset your skills. But of course I don't want to do anything against the rules, so this seems to be the only solution for this problem (at least for me).
So, I think this wraps it up. I hope some of you agree with me and want to have a feature like that too. Bye!
