no ratings reset

so it looks like we are going to be in tier 1 again next week.  Anet decided to nix the reset...interesting.

here is a link to the topic on the official forums: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Update-No-WvW-Rating-Reset

I disagree with Anet's assessment. They are treading on a slippery slope of caving in to player forum whines that instantly reject any idea of change, because it violates their sense of comfort with what they currently know. Of course, I not only think that the rating should be reset, but that the entire system should be redesigned. (I really should take a few hours and write that out, one of these days...)

I have a full system worked out in my head, including redesigns that address some shortcomings in the current system. Without going into detail or explanations, its basically a 3 day match-up of random servers, with rank points awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place at end of match, rather than using the current "objective points timer" system to calculate the weekly rankings. Total points are tracked and displayed on a webpage, rather than some Dev's little copy/paste of their tracking data, in a forum post. With this type of system, they could even do a quarterly elimination contest, over a period of a couple of weeks, and track those results on a separate chart, even give the quarterly winner title perks or something. There is so much they can do, with this and other system redesigns, that would really make things in this game stand out a lot more, and would allow more players to get involved, that normally might not, or have not.
