Something's Better than Nothing...

I was getting 5m queues this time yesterday lol, but yeah... Today hasn't been great... I imagine people are dropping out with hopes of maintaining their current position in the top 100 by doing nothing... Shame SE didn't implement a counter for that... We have a system that forces people into their houses or risk losing them, but we have nothing to keep people queuing Feast after they hit ~1,000 rating...

Eh this is more a fault on the PVP community, or lack thereof, than on SE. The NA data centers are no where near as competitive as the JP data centers. If it was actually more competitive than those same ppl who quit after reaching 1k would be forced to come back or risk getting knocked out of the top 100. But as it stands with 1k points atm you remain comfortably within the top 100. I myself haven't really pvp much at all this past week and was ranked in the 20s anyway despite only having 1130 points.

Oddly, after posting that I went back to <5~6m queues... Still, rating decay following inactivity seems like a fairly standard concept... I imagine part of the problem is just how broken the rating/matchmaking system is perceived to be, kinda killing interest in Feast in general... I don't think the rewards help much, either... That #1 reward is incredibly lackluster, I'd prefer different rewards in general, but just taking the current ones, I'd say top 100 should get a trophy, top 10 armor, top 1 crown... That essentially makes placing 11~100 worthless (at least in my eyes) and fuels competition for the top 10 at least, would probably kill interest instead though, that trophy is just kinda lame... Better tier rewards might help too, so far all we know is that we'll get accessories, which is already a lackluster reward but we don't even know what they look like... If the Diamond tier reward was absolutely amazing, we might see a bit more interest in climbing beyond 1,000... I think having tiers of trophies awarded to the top 10 in each tier would be better than accessories...
