Wiping the leaderboards

[Amuck]

I think clearing the leaderboards would be healthy for the PVP on our server. without it all the leaderboard heroes might fight to thedeath rather then plugging. just a thought. I know only Jeremy / Bush could do this. why not though, look at the gm event we had at the arena, boards were off = mass pvp. Lets try it for a month and see how it goes? No, im not bringing this up because I have a terrible KDR I actually have a killer KDR but want the pvp to thrive and think by doing this it will help. < incoming rustled nerd posts>

Nope

[silo32]

we did this before in season 1 way before bush did this

willian turned it off for 2-3 months

best pvp I had on red99, people were pvping more, its more or less a top few that bitch and moat about there YT count when it wasn't recorded you could feel a sense of ease across the server since your ooc and yt's weren't being recorded

even tho I won s1 in the top 10

I think its even worse than it was before I dunno overall there should be an ingame counter like there is on other eq emu servers alt p opens it up

tl'dr

remove them promotes more pvp

YT is good because it lets people know PvP is going on, which is important on a small server. Tracking KD encourages people to run from PvP when they can't guarantee a win, and discourages people from playing classes who can't reliably get kills. That's why we have so many Shadow Knights, Rogues, and wizards running around. It's the same problem MOBAs like DOTA face: everyone wants to play carries and gankers, instead of support.

So yeah, I'd get rid of it entirely given the chance.

Playing support means relying on unproven solo queue teammates to make plays. The reason nobody wants to play support is lack of trust.

Competitive nature says if I fail I want to be responsible for it. The ? mark going into a game is something most would rather do without. Hence lock all gankers/carries.

Haven't check LB since this new format. I think the last leaderboard using the points system encouraged pvp more than anything. New board blows.

People always going to try to hero it, whatever the means of proof is. No leaderboard? Get ready for a bunch of screenshots from Salem.
