rankings

As SGW is a war game i am wondering why the rankings are based on power?
now we have military experience existing, why do we not make the rankings based on those Military experience ?
the one who is most war like player / alliance get a better ranking then the best stat builder.
the rankings now just mean you have more to loose then that you know how to play the game, we all know that some newer players are blinded by the powers and just build and build and forget what this game is all about.
This game is a war game, and we should honor those that war (raid/farm) the most.

Not gonna happen... first of all, it's been like this for almost 3 years... second, military experience doesn't actually reflect the player's experience... third, it doesn't even include everything (such as damage dealt by mothership)... and fourth, it would deny newer players and those who value strategy more than brute force access to higher ranks.

new accounts would never hit G&R range

Military experiance is incorrect and basicly a joke so no good there.

Re: rankings

Maybe with a few adjustments to the experience stats it could be used for alliance rankings?

Re: rankings

just for giving ranks to see how well one does, military exp ranks would be good... but for actual account ranking, it wouldnt work...

Yes the small sniper accounts that do nothing but build up, mass, and sell off to hide would be ranked 1.

Is that what everyone wants to see?

Re: rankings

I wouldnt mind seeing it as a separate ranking option for alliances. I wouldn't want it for individual ranking though, as it would just encourage newb massing. (It still might encourage it for alliance ranking aswell, but if an alliance was seen to be just attacking alliances fractions of their size for that purpose, I doubt they would get much peace..)
