Accuracy should be a moving average

My goal right now with osu is to improve my PP ranking as much as possible.

I went on the wiki and it said that to improve my pp ranking i should improve my accuracy "even 1% difference can help light-years!", but the wiki also said that "A user's overall accuracy is just the average of all his/her's beatmap specific accuracies". So if I have hundreds of low-accuracy plays then it will take too long to improve my accuracy.

my accuracy right now is 87.27% which is pretty low, i've been around 87 for a while now, though on multiplayer I'm better than most of the 90% accuracy players I see.

I've been playing this game on and off since 2009, my skill has improved so much since back then, but old scores (and several failed attempts at insane stream maps) are affecting my current average. So, shouldn't accuracy be a moving average instead of an overall average? And also maybe give harder maps a more extreme affect on your accuracy (less effect if low acc, more effect if high acc)

Or is this already in place and the wiki doesn't have this information

The wiki page wasn't referring to the accuracy stat in your profile

I.... what?

Also couldn't you just improve your old low scores?

You're making this sound so easy

My apologies, I wasn't aware that you can't improve scores if you got them with the nofail mod. I've personally never gotten halfway through a map using that mod without getting bored.

In case there is any confusion (aside from my own,) I have only a very tenuous understanding of the scoring/ranking system.

Halftime. ;)

Using Half Time should divide your PP by a factor of 2 for being a pussy.

The game should just yell at you for even looking at that mod

Anyone who chooses HT in a very hard map just to get ranks should be banned from this game forever (and possibly from life too).

Everyone who does anything at all should be banned from everything.

I tolerate NOTHING.
