Feast (Light Party) and Boosting

[Zensho]

Besides the #1 of each data center I'm not sure anyone really cares about what place their in in the top 100 so long as they are in the top 100 really. After all #1 gets all the glory and no one remembers #2 let alone 3 through 100.

I used to play a lot with Domaru Damasu (on primal and aether), formerly known as "PK" before his account got banned on here lol... Anyways if you are reading this, I saw that you got boned from #1 to --> #2. Not sure if it was a booster person, but if it was I hope you get your helm man, that's pretty shitty, and SE should step up to the plate and take action against cheaters.

I missed the first season cuz I had to move and was without internet, but I'm able to participate in season 2, just hoping it is better than the first one. /carryon

I don't play much anymore but I thought I'd share something about ranked light party.

Unfortunately, light party can be exploited easily by anyone who is half decent. For example, Player A, B, C and D are all at 900 rating, and when they beat a much lower team, they all get the same rating gain of 1 point a win. Because of this, Player A can simply queue with 3 different players who have little to no rating, and since everyone gets the same amount of rating per win, he is awarded +20 points for beating the same low team. Even if Player A and B queue up with 2 lower players, they still obtain a pretty good amount of rating gain.

This was done across most of the Data Centers in ranked light party for the #1 spot, and just one of the reasons I stopped participating in PvP a long time ago. Can you really blame the player? Not sure, since it is SE's fault for implementing such a poor system. But it certainly made light party much less prestigious and a bad indicator of who the really good team players were.
